I had a very memorable experienced eating here, the good place for seafood lover especially crab maniac. Ordered crab (female) with sari bhoga sauce which was amazingly delicious, jumbo, and meaty. Other dish was grilled iridescent shark (ikan patin bakar) also in a giant size, the fried squid was so crunchy and jumbo as well. I don't know why the size here were all big which make this restaurant suitable for family or friends in big group. Their sayur asam also fresh and citrusy. It is a casual and modest dining place, no AC inside, but there is a parking lot in front of the restaurant. This place is not too big, and if you or your friend know the owner, might want to check before heading because the crab sold out fast. When visiting this town, make sure to try this place. Awesome!

the price is okay, although not cheap. the ambience of the resto isn't that great (I think they open at nite only).but my bad experience is with the cashier. just make sure you bring your own calculator (one in your phone is okay) and double check on how much they charge you. tips: ask the price before you order and if possible have your own copy of your order!! before paying, calculate your order first, then compare with how much they ask you to pay

the place is quite secluded in the corner of 5th floor SCP (next to cinema). The restaurant is quite extravagant compared to other restaurant in the same building. The small portion's menu is quite big and it tastes good too.

Don't get deceived by it looks, this is not fancy restsurant by looks...but their rates for foods already are....so don't be surprised when you received the bill....food was fast to serve or maybe it was empty when we arrived....taste was okay but not spectacular..their specialty was fish...any kind would do just fine...

Best smoked crab in town, pricey but yummy. Delicious ca pakis vegetable... Fish were good, we ordered the rojak fish. Clam was so so. Overall its a good place to dine but a bit pricey. The smoked crab can be ordered for take home. They wrap it nicely in a bag..
