You usually need to go to Arab village at the Sultan mosque area for good Malay food other than those found at town centers. This restaurant opened a few years ago to save you the journey.

Reservation: Don't think they reserve. Just walk in queue, get the food, pay and then sit down to eat, sharing a table is quite common.

Food /Beverage: Quality Malay food, the beef and mutton rendang is great, selar fish well fried and fresh and their "sayur lodir" memorably tasty. The owner has his receipt stored in a safe at home !!. Only puzzlement is that they do not serve teh tarek - how can !!! Malay food is always accompanied by teh tarek. We had to adjourn to the Zion road food center to enjoy our teh tarek after lunch.

Ambience: Clean, airy, many, seats, counter service (one eye see all).

Value: On the high end of Malay food, one serving of fish/meat, veg, "tamper" fermented soy bean and ikan bilis would set you back about $5.50. Each squid is $4.

Service: Non - DIY. Watch out for the Chinese man at the drink counter, his glare could kill you!
