3 weeks agoWe enjoyed a group lunch at this restaurant, which features an open shop layout without air conditioning. The drink selection was interesting, allowing us to choose options like sour plum and chrysanthemum. We ordered a whole chicken, tofu, and a variety of vegetables. The food was quite filling and flavorful, making for a satisfying meal. However, the dining experience was somewhat marred by the presence of numerous houseflies, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Despite this drawback, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would consider returning for the tasty dishes and casual atmosphere.

a month agoThe chicken was tough and served cold, while the bean sprouts were too oily for my taste. The fish and meatballs were decent, but the highlight of the meal was the chicken feet, cooked with a herbal flavor that was uniquely enjoyable.The restaurant was mostly filled with tourists, and the servers were pleasant.

3 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 !!

2 months 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

3 months 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 :””
