2 months agoThis place is always packed with patrons craving for beansprouts and steamed (white) chicken, which actually the signature dishes of this restaurant.Once we got our seats and placed the order, it didn't take long to get our order. Quite fast.Beansprouts are a bit different compared to ones in Indonesia. Here in Malaysia, the beansprouts tend to be shorter & thicker. The stir-fried beansprouts is tasty, as well as the chicken: tender and juicy.The chicken feet is tender, meatballs are pretty soft, easy to chew, meaty, and the broth is flavourful.Lastly, we had tofu with silky, smooth texture, firm and savoury. Delish !!

a month agoChicken and bean sprouts were all too greasy and oily as seen in the pictures can see a big layer of oil in the sauce. Chicken meat was a little bit too tough to chew also.Tourist trap…many reviews saying the same thing as well, don’t trust the itineraries with this place :””

a month agoDine in during 2025 january CNY ipoh trip, Ordered white chicken 1 whole, 1 taugeh, 1 fish ball soup, 1 vegetable The chicken is very chewy and smooth Vegetable acceptable Taugeh not bad Fish ball a bit hard to chew The biggest problem is all the soy sauce base is too salty, my friends and me cnnt tolerate. Had to separate the soy sauce base from the vegetable, chicken, taugeh then only we can finish these food. A bit dissapointing, i guess i gotta skip tourist hotspot restaurant next time, nonetheless the service is good eventhough there are so many customers

a week agoI heard that this restaurant is usually packed with people, and you often need to queue for a table. Luckily, when I went, there were still some seats available. The taugeh (bean sprouts) are plump and crunchy, making them great to chew. The chicken is also delicious!

4 months agocame here because of the good reviews. this place is so popular, particularly for the bean sprouts and chicken. upon looking at google maps reviews, customers seem to enjoy the fishballs too. so that’s what we got - all 3 of them. the beansprouts is really basic, boiled beansprouts with white pepper on it to give the boring plain beansprouts some live. and sesame oil with soy sauce on the bottom. chicken was a let down, it was tough and flavourless, with the same sesame oil and soy sauce base. fishballs were very salty, definitely store bought from frozen. i’d say this is one of the worst meals we had. staffs were all on their phones and not welcoming at all as well. cash only! + 6% too
