Am a regular at Aeon Falim branch. So decided to try this after a long shopping. Though space is bit limited and narrow, but tables are clean and tidy.
Lina
The overall experience was just satisfactory, however there are many things to improve. One of them is meat and prawns need to be fresh, I don't comment on the lobsters because of the price at the very up side.

Went there in the morning during the weekdays. No need to queue up unlike the Aeon Falim, Ipoh. The service by the waiter is good. Pity him, have to serve all customers by himself although it is a small shop. It takes long time for the food
