The restaurant is very well known at Batu Caves area. This restaurant has a policy where one can only place 1 order at per table (which means no reordering of food if one find that the ordered food is not enough).

The restaurant is packed when we arrived. There is a long list of people waiting for tables. As most of the tables available are for small groups and we are in a big group of 7, we end up waiting about an hour for a table.
We are given a number tag (which will be given to the staff when our order is taken), when a table is available for us. There is no menu given and we could only order based on the staff's recommendation, which is basically what most tables are having.Although the weather is extremely hot, we have Hot Tea (RM11.50+) with ice cubes to keep cool as that is what most tables are having.
Stir Fried Sweet Leaves (RM18+)A simple vegetable dish. We feel the vegetable used here is a bit old, based on the color of the vegetable. Quite disappointing.
滑蛋河 Cantonese Style Hor Fun (RM18+)Single serving in vegetarian style with no garlic, onion and spring onion. Quite smooth and rich in texture.
Porridge (RM15.40+)It is served with sliced fish and century egg in it. The porridge is very smooth and creamy in texture, while the fish is very fresh and smooth too.
Pork Meat Bee Hoon (RM21.20+)It is a very simple and traditional dish of stir fried stewed pork belly with bee hoon. The pork belly is quite tender and does not taste jelat.
Fried Pork Meat (RM29+)It is deep fried pork belly marinated in red fermented beancurd. I feel the version here is not very good as it lack of crispiness outside. Another point is that I would prefer it to be served with the porridge, instead of after finishing al the other dishes. The porridge would be a good balance to the strong taste of the fermented beancurd taste in the pork.
River Prawn Hor Fun (RM120.85+)It is served with 3 pieces of the famed giant sized River Prawns, which each of us get half piece each.
The prawn is quite huge in size, filled with lots of roe in the shell. The gravy is rich and luscious, while the noodle flows smoothly down the throat.
Besides these dishes, the restaurant also offers a variety of swiss rolls and pastries over its counter. Overall the food is not bad, but I feel that it is quite expensive to dine in here. One would think twice of making a trip all the way to this ula ula place, suffers a long waiting time and follows by a delicious in a hot and humid place.
