First thing that I noticed when arriving at the place is the service. When we entered, we asked the waitress if we could sit at the second floor mezzanine. She said that there is only one waiter there, so we cannot dine in there. There was already 2 tables occupied at that time, plus the ground floor is almost full. Once seated, she passed us the menu and order chit, saying that curry chicken and another dish was out of stock.

We need to write our order and pay at the counter first before they serve our order. I would love to revisit again despite the distance from my house (Batu Kawan) - officially my new favourite. I...
