Went for early dinner here. The moment it opened at about 5 pm, customers began to flock the restaurant. They have 2 units of shops. There are many tables available for customers. The signature san lao mee hoon had a bit of charred bottom which made the mee hoon crispy. It tasted good with the lime sambal belacan. The shrimp paste chicken was fragrantly fried. The chicken pieces were crispy outside and tender inside. The ikan bilis petai reminded us of grandma's cooking. The fried ikan bilis was crispy and petai crunchy. The fench beans was deliciously crunchy. The meal was washed down with chrythemum tea which was hot and aromatic. Satisfactory . The service was prompt as we did not have to wait long for our order. If you are looking for some chinese new year cookies, you can eat and shop as well.

Sanlou meehoon is the best. Not too oily and not too salty. Best paired together with their own in-house chilli sauce. The rest is just right to the old school taste. Cafe is open air and the vibe is nostalgic 90s with TV. Carpark may be a problem so watchout they have private carpark space just opposite the restaurant. Can go for carwash at Shell and eat
