It has been a little while we haven't make our was to dine here, used to be regular few years back. Although it was a bit pricey, due to located in town and also patronize by tourists but the food here is absolutely good and you can tell there're less or no MSG and ghee added to their cooking. It is in a more comfortable, air-conditioning setting and clean environment for having a banana leaf rice which used to be in an open air alfresco with plastic chair and table "Mamak Stall" setting. Food here are ala-minute means it's freshly cook when you place your order, so you gotta stay a bit patient cause it takes a bit of time for them to prepare the dish. Once upon a time this restaurant appeared in Lonely Planet on Astro Travel and Living TV show and even our Ex-Prime Minister had dine here.

Syrup with Lime Juice, RM3.00

Papadum
I like this stuff!

2 x Rice with side dishes, RM10.00
Rice and vegetables are re-fillable

Curry Fish Head, RM35.00
Fresh fish head, fleshy and sweet cooked in a well spiced curry gravy....so good

Sambal Prawn, RM12.00
Prawn flavor was not over-ride by the sambal paste, still can tasted the sweetness from the prawn itself, sambal was a compliment to help us gulp down more rice...that's bad
