There was a distinct 'kampung' attitude about the restaurant. Possibly the village idiot aspect of the servers who were so dull-witted that it hurt just to try to communicate with them! This is the real, sad state of the food service industry in Malaysia today. Joints with decent food, some of which is pretty good tasting, and quite reasonably priced, will probably lack patronage because it is just a chore to try to order something. The female servers knew nothing about their menu, and seemed completely at ease to stare vacantly at the diners when unable to answer questions about whether the dish was spicy or not.

| The wide open concept mirrored the vacant grey matter of their staff. |

| Life preservers may be needed to keep this place safe from dumb wait staff. |

Truly a pity because the food was not half bad. Both Western and local selections were tasty and unpretentious, with the wedges being one of the best-tasting I've had in a casual dining outlet.
 |
| RM5.90 wedges, with plenty of crunch and no grease. |
 |
| Ham and cheese squeezed toast (their description of grilled sandwich), RM5.90. |
The local food had some misses, with the Cantonese Ying Yong (RM9.90) being a bit insipid and lacking in the smokey flavour which characterizes this dish.
 |
| Cantonese Ying Yong noodles were a bit bland. |
However, the braised yee mee, cereal flake chicken rice and kong pao chicken one-plate meals were all pretty good, and more than passable. Each serving cost RM9.90 and the rice dishes came with a bowl of much-appreciated, and tasty, soup.

| Braised yee mee. |
 |
| Cereal flake chicken rice was crunchy and piquant, with good use of green chili and curry leaves. |
 |
| Spicy, flavourful kung pao chicken rice. |
