"The eatery was pretty well known for its delicious tohu begedil - a must try indeed. However, our favourites here are laksa (thick broth), koay teow teng (best-selling) & pisang goreng Johore style! Fast service "

"Masa datang tu order laksa, goreng pisang sambal kicap, goreng pisang choc cheese dan caramel machiato. Overall semua sedap dan blh repeat lagi. Sebenarnya ikut review google rasa mcm tak nak datang tapi fikir semula saya ada 2 3 kali ke tempat makan yang viral time dorang review tu bukan main tengok dorang makan memang terliur habis tapi bila saya sendiri pergi rasa dia tu tak boleh nak repeat huhuhu. Jadi sebabkan tu lah saya fikir tekak lain2 tu yang pergi juga the gonjeng. Bila dah pergi, pada saya yang datang jauh dari KL ni memang rasa berbaloi ala ala hi tea time tu kopi sedap sgt, goreng psg pn sedap, laksa sedap lembut,ikan banyak. Pasal ada yang kata laksa tu tawar saya tak tahu tekak nya camne sbb tekak saya sedang elok dah tahap masin tu. Terbaik the gonjeng. Jadi apa pun pergi sendiri dan rasa sendiri dulu jangan ikut sangat review ni sebab tekak lain2 kan.."
