Service is terrible. Given only one menu and we have two families with young kids. I told the lady let us look at the menu first and we will order later. After ten minutes, the lady taking order came back and we start ordering. When we were ordering, the lady is very impatient keep rushing us to be faster. Then, we got scolded when I ask "what meat dishes you have". Another family friend were looking at the menu and I didn't manage to look at it thus came this question. For that question, she got so angry like exploded and say it's all in the menu and you all have been looking at the menu for so long.

Stuffed crab is average. If you close your eyes and eat you may not know it's crab. No crab taste. But if you open your eyes and see, you can see it is crab meat.

We also ordered lemon chicken and served with 2 fried boneless chicken chop with lesson sauce. One piece is good and another piece is overcooked to the extend my both kids can't chew to swallow and have to spit it out. I guess that has been fried second time or what. So unacceptable.

If ask me what's good about this shop, I would say it has aircond and the Loh hon gor drinks is very nice.

But overall price is on the high side for this small town. Rm17 per stuffed crab now. And menu don't have price when you order. Below are some price of dishes ordered: Kangkung vege M size RM22 Yao mak vege M size RM20 Lemon chicken L size (2 boneless chicken chop) RM34 White rise RM2 Fried rice RM9 Pu er tea pot...

1)bad attitude , no respect 2)not fresh 3)expensive

Bad attitude . I never met such a rude owner . My family came from a fishing village so we usually can roughly recognize the weight of fishes . When the dish came , we suspect that it's not 1kg, might only 500g ,so we did ask very politely whether they get the correct fish base on the table number but we end up get a glare from the owner's family and an answer which is really impolite and rude . This is what the owner answer us : 假如没本事吃就别来吃 ( if you can't afford, please don't visit) in a really bad tune. No even an apology. One of my family member still being really kind apology to the owner . While another two of my family members angry , straight away getting out from the shop . It's a happy family dinner at first but end up ... disappointment and anger . Just spoil up everything throughout the trip , everyone eat in silence because we want to done it fast and get out from the shop . The dish was not fresh honestly and it's expensive. (The fish meat was hard therefore heavy enough for 1kg) My family doesn't eat much but 30Something near 40 per person . No drinks but our own tea . In this situation , I would rather having a buffet in kl or some place that more worthy than this . Some would doubt that the owner's reaction or I'm exaggerating the whole thing. But I would like to say I'm honest here. The word that the owner say have already hurt my family members and it means despising us ....
