Home cook style zhu char. New location with plenty parking and open air. Comfortable but could have mosquito and flies due to outdoor. Food is nice and price reasonable. I ordered 4 dishes, tomyam with fish fillet, crab meat tofu (4pcs), fried mix vege, belachan chicken (4pcs each) with total RM60 for 2adults 2kids. Saw other mentioned no menu and overprice. Typically home style zhu char do not have menu and you can ask for recommendation. You should ask the price before you order especially for Seafood. Tomyam soup is nice, not the tomyam paste type and it is not too spicy and suitable for kids too. Definitely will come back again
Ate this place since young when they were still at the old place. First time eating at their new place. Food is still good. Uncle and his son still remembers me.
The food is greatttttt!!! Very homely feel and love all the food!!
