come Sunday happens to be a lot of people. fast service and food and drinks arrived very quickly. The fish curry is really good. Rotitelur and roti canai are a little cold, maybe they are already ready early. but for me ok

The first thing one would notice about this restaurant is that it is squeaky clean environment. After sweeping with a broom, the worker mopped the floor again. The roti canai taste good (RM1.70) but the beverages like kopi and teh are well below par. Coffee and tea are supposed to be 'kaw' but this is usually not the case for mamak restaurants. Show me one which brew a proper kopi or teh? Is the dilution meant to save cost? How about charging 10 sen more to give your customers a proper drink? A plate of mutton-vege rice cost RM15 and kopi kosong is RM2.50. This restaurant serves a wide range of food from nasi kandar to western to roti naan tandoori besides the usual mee goreng and roti canai. Parking is convenient and available just along Jalan Pudu Perdana. Smokers are a nuisance but there's nothing much the staff could do.
