Our Guestbook
“ Food was good & flavourful, though the prices may be a bit pricey (RM88 for fish head, RM182 for 5 pax including drinks). Other dishes looked delicious too esp sambal prawn petai but saw a fly on it & that deterred me. ”
“ The fish is considered fresh. Just have some overcook spice, which tasted a bit bitter. May be cook whole day and I ordered for dinner....? ”
“ Has been going this shop for about 6 years. Taste good suitable for family gathering. ”
“ The Fish Head Curry was delicious and awesome! Full taste gravy. Obviously the best in town for me. Price was ok. Its Nasi Kandar level of price. Other menu come as good the signature dish. Tried a few and it does not dissappoint me. ”
“ We were the 2nd customer of the day, came early at 1130am and got our 11 seater table available nearby the counter. The Kari kepala ikan was great, loved it, slightly different compared to the normal mamak style, SG put santan, it tasted a lot more milkier, I'd rated an 8/10 I can hirup the kuah meaning it's really good. The server was friendly and accommodating, suggested us if we ordered too much or anything yang tak cukup. The asam pedas was quite sweet, we are used to the taste of asam pedas Melaka, less sweet and more pungy taste, but the fish was fresh. The sotong goreng tepung was a bit of a let down honestly, it's too chewy. First time ever we didn't manage to finish any sotong goreng tepung that we ordered. But I love the services, since we are the only large group at that time, they served us with a free lychee pudding for 12 pax, and they also provide free ice cream 1 per person, loved that. All in all I love the restaurant, very comfortable for my elderly parents to walk from the parking and kedai got aircond and sejuk. The Curry was brilliant It's an 8/10 experience, if the sotong was less chewy I'd give it a 9/10. Totally Recommend this restaurant for the fish head lover. ”
“ Arrived at 11am, it was just opened. Plenty parking available, no crowd yet. Staff was friendly to assist with ordering, food arrived very quickly. Love the assam fish, mouthwatering and refreshing. Fish was soft and tender, so is the chicken. However the mutton was slightly chewy. Fried mini crab is super addicting! Nicely fried and crispy! Love the kerabu and mango salad, very crunchy with the mix of sour and spicy kick! Kailan wasn’t really fresh. Overall every dish was nicely cooked. It is not overly salty nor spicy, well balanced for me. I like that we get to choose our own dishes, the portion is not too big, so be ready to order a mix variety of dishes! There’s free ice cream for each dine in person, the owner was very friendly and generous enough to give us free longan pudding. Would come again! ”

“ They have quite a few size options for the curry fish head based on the type of fish head. So far everytime I tried it, it's really good. The next best is the sambal prawn petai. Really well done. The otak otak is also quite good at this place. The Pandan chicken and the kai lan is alright but the other dishes were alot better. ”
