Nice food, compare to that area at that time( night) it might be above the average. Rich chicken sauce. I don't know why the menu masakan melayu was shrinking, and the food quality abit low compare to last time. I would still visit this place, as here really serves you nice food from nice staff. Drawback: music too loud. Boss, if u read this plss lowered the volume. As I want to makan at your place again. Teh ais RM3.50 Chicken Chop RM10 What you pay is really WORTH It!!!

A very lively place for the youngsters along the roadside in Johor Bahru. Serve Local & Western food. Hipster cafe as for the ambience showed, a little bit pricy to be expected, and little portion . Friendly staff, can improve on their service. They also provide Hookah/Shisha if I'm not mistake. So far so good. Not recommended for people who loves quite and clear place.
