这里靠近我家，但我是为了好吃的早餐过来这里。亲切的服务，干净的环境。老板娘不时还更换菜单
portion is quite big, curry laksa, nasi lemak and meesiam is not bad
Firstly - I'd suggest renaming to something like "Grandmother's Kitchen". Otherwise yum, well priced and authentic:)
Love the nasi lemak and its sambal is very authentic
Enjoyed the mee siam and fried chicken wings. Juicy and fried just right. Delicious
A very friendly shop owner that provide you a nice meal, everyday selling different menu
This is a store offering home cook style food to the public. They have an economic style breakfast - nasi lemak, fried noodles, mee siam, kuey tiaw with a range of side dishes (egg, sausage, fish balls, etc.) for top-up. Then there's one or several daily special(s) which differ from day to day. When choosing a budget friendly option, I recommend their nasi lemak. At RM3.50, you get a plate of fragrant rice paired with peanuts, anchovies & sambal. All their daily specials are tasty and not overly sweet or salty. A good place when you're seeking some home style cooking.
Have been eating here frequently for the past years must sincerely say that truly home cook excellent taste…no MSG or artificial ingredients! All fresh and great! Exciting change of dishes everyday till 2pm. Close on Sunday. Deserves 5 star ratings for the dedication in hardworking preparation. Thank you for your wonderful cooking.
