I've been to this restaurant a couple of times in the past, and it seems to have quite a reputation in the area. This time, a friend brought me here again, reaffirming its popularity.

The food is undeniably tasty, and one dish that stood out for me was the 'Big Head Prawn' steamed with egg. The steamed egg was a revelation; it absorbed the essence of the prawns, making it incredibly delicious. I also recalled from a previous visit that the fish stomach dish was pretty good, showcasing their culinary skills.

During this visit, we tried a variety of dishes, including vegetables and stir-fried noodles, and they all hit the mark in terms of flavor and quality.

However, there's a downside worth mentioning - cleanliness. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The pathway to the toilet leads you through the kitchen, and you can't escape the strong smell of fish along the way. It was quite unpleasant and took away from the overall dining experience. The rest of the restaurant's cleanliness was just passable, which was a bit disappointing.

While I might consider revisiting because of the delicious food, I'll likely explore other options in the area first. Hopefully, they can address the cleanliness issue...

A superb restaurant in this little town of Slim River, it is confusingly named as some signboards state Restaurant Double Happiness and others, Restaurant Twin Happiness. Regardless, the food is so excellent they could change their names a few more times and we wouldn’t be perturbed.

The first dishes that got wiped out were the steamed egg, and the deer meat. We also had kang kong with a small amount of chili and some really lovely petai. Without a doubt the main attraction was the noodles with river prawn- very moreish indeed!

We enjoyed this with pu’er tea for the grownups and coke for the kids. Service was prompt and we felt very relaxed in the open air seating. Toilets are available and adequate.

Planning to visit again to try the other...
