Authentic local Malay food restaurant located seaside, serving nasi berlauk (economic rice). Lots of dishes to choose including poultry, seafood and vegetables. My favourite items are curry stingray, clamps, fried chicken, lady fingers and long beans. Crowded usually so go with friends and get a table before ordering. Price is average. Dine in with sea view was a good idea, though you will first see many cars parking around.

One of the best local cafes I've been too. Delicious food overlooking such a beautiful view, and the food were so affordable! The only con will be the roaming cats that can be a major problem for people who are afraid of cats hahaha

Very nice authentic Malay cuisine. The fish head curry is very tasty and full of flavour without being too overtly spicy. Seafood here is fresh. Price is cheap and reasonable for the quantity. Highly recommended.
