"Not as affordable as it used to be, considering its ambience. No complaints about the taste of the dishes though. RM38 for tilapia steamed assam style. Fed 1 adult and 1 teenager. RM79 in total for the fish, one plate of sweet potato leaves cooked with garlic, one hot plate of taufu cooked with minced pork, two herbal drinks and two plates of white rice."

"My favourite ginger steam fish growing up and still is. Would not compare it to those large seafood restaurants as this place serves me as a nostalgic and sentimental dining experience. From the first time coming here being carried and now the person carrying me has passed on, this place has given me 38 years of memories. I just hope they continue till my time ends."
