Dapoq Schombi JB — Restaurant in Johor

The place is also clean.. in fact, I would have given it a 5 star if the interior of the...

There was also some takeaway ice cream if you want dessert. Interesting flavours but execution didn't quite hit the mark.

Staff were friendly and as most of the food was pre-cooked, they didn't take too...
