a month agoMust dine here when in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur)! Everything we ordered tasted amazing. The different varieties of rice was the cherry on top. Top off the meal with ABC for dessert and you get the best Malaysia has to offer. Will definitely dine here every time I visit.

a week agoThis is the place to eat! The food is amazing. Their take of the kerabu is so addictive. The cucur udang is crispy. The short ribs assam pedas - out of this world. My good to place for celebrations and whenever I’m in KL. If you have Mohib as your server, you are golden due to his 5 star service. Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in Malaysia.
