A bit early 3.45pm and first customer but they took my order anyways. 4 nasi lemak bungkus kosong, 1 big Siakap, 3 sotong (bakar kosong), 2 ketam S&S, 1 set kerang bakar and 3 drinks for RM156.I think other fish and udang a bit too high. Overall as expected. Will come again."

"Malay style grilled seafood. First joint you will encounter when driving into the ikan bakar area. A reasonable alternative to the nearby Ikan Bakar Parameswara. Price is by weight, includes cooking and willing to accommodate smaller portions."

"Really love the Kerang Sambal. Decent level of spiciness yet the cockles is sweet and chewy. Their Sotong Celup Tepung is soooo good. Juicy and succulent squid with light batter of flours, making it crunchy on the outside. Affordable price, surely will visit this restaurant again."
