One of my favourite and a reliable restaurant for simple Chinese food in JB. My family loves the tang kwai roast duck, deep fried kembong fish, soup (variety) and Yong tau Foo and special porridge. Some of the food are sold out quite quickly, so do head over early during peak hours especially on the weekends. I find the pricing reasonable and.portion adequate. Service is friendly and efficient. Really a pleasure to dine there every time! Highly recommended!
