Housed in a shack, the restaurant is situated by the roadside and diners can have their meals al fresco-style. The menu (in Malay) can be found at the front of the restaurant, with offerings such as Laksa Johor, rojak, mee rebus, soto, cendol, ice jagung selasih and more.
We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and they were all delicious. Cendol pulut (RM2.50) is a must, great for cooling down in this hot weather! Sweet and salty.. yums!
The Laksa Johor (RM5.50) was excellent - spicy with a nice, thick fish broth. Laksa Johor usually comes with spaghetti noodles, but here, they use the short (white) laksa noodles instead.
Hubby and the boy loved the Mee rebus (RM5.50) - yellow noodles topped with a thick sweet potato broth. They ended up ordering another plate of this to share.
I ordered the Soto meehoon (RM5.50) for the kids, but they ended up preferring the spicier noodle dishes so I had this. LOL.
