"This is one of the cheaper food options in georgetown. They've a good selection of malay/indo/thai cuisine on the menu, both in rice and noodles assortment. Ordered their fried rice variety: Chinese fried rice, seafood fried rice, daging merah fried rice and tomyam fried rice. Also had the fried battered squid and fried omelette. Food here is delicious. Especially the tomyam fried rice which seems to be the top seller. If you don't know what to order here, just go for the tomyam fried rice. The savoury taste and spiciness are well balanced. Iced coffee here was good as well."
