Secret Kitchen • Kuantan Pahang — Restaurant in Pahang

Tried this place for the first time after seeing a photo of the gyudon (stir-fried beef with rice) & I was really delighted to have discovered the taste of gyudon that I've missed for more than 5-6 years now, when Koi Zen Jap restaurant left the scene...
