leaf on bowl Ativo Plaza — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

Food: I order Beef Noodle (clear soup and homemade noodle) Clear soup - the pepper-ish taste is strong, if you love pepper, this could be the one for you. (*not as strong as Pork Intestine Soup) Homemade noodle - the chewiness of the noodle is on point! Plus, there is not much broken strands, so slurping the noodle is awesome! Beef - more like black-pepper-sauced beef. Kinda tasty too Fish cake - if you're craving for specials, this could be one of them. Fu Chok that is covered by fish paste, which is coverer by Fu Chok. Awesome!

We were 4 pax. The dinner was RM80+. This restaurant takes CASH ONLY.

Expensive but this is Ativo.

We ordered Mala. It was okay. It's Malaysian Mala, not Chinese Mala.

Very friendly staff.

It was 8pm when we arrived, please expect people will spend more time on their table chatting after meals. There was no 4-seats indoor table for us... Caused by customers who stayed to chat... Hate to say this, I personally dislike customers taking up tables to chat in a restaurant during SOP, tables are limited. I hope we, as the customers, be considerate for each other. I know we can separate into pairs but we were 4 of us... Out for our weekly dinner... They can go to pubs or cafe too...

Overall, it's a...
