I tried perkedel (fried mashed potatoes), but honestly I don’t like the perkedel. For drink, must try the tea.

Place. Sign is clearly visible from road, although the location is a bit inside the small alley, around 7 meters from main road. Crowded, but high customer turnover. Easy to get seat. Relative clean place and tables. Parking will be a but challenge during peak hour. Car can be parked road side.

Price. Affordable. But to some locals, they said it’s already in a medium...
