My lunch at 家乡小馆 (Jiāxiāng Xiǎoguǎn) was a great experience, and it's easy to see why this restaurant has such a reputation.

Ordering was a breeze, with the menu clearly displayed on the wall with photos, or you could refer to the printed menu at your table. The food was served impressively fast.

The Patin Buah (水果巴丁王) was decent, though not particularly outstanding. However, I appreciated the use of a clay plate, which helped retain heat better than the more commonly used stainless steel.

Highly recommended indeed but might be crowded during peak hours since it is such a...
