"Humble eateries outlet. However the food is good and delicious. You could have nasi campur or order a set of ikan bawal goreng. If you order the set they will fry the fish there and then. You would have fresh and crispy fish served. You would need to park along the roadsides. No specific parking provided. Near to Tabung Haji Bayan Lepas building."

"My colleague recommended me to this place after I share with my colleague nice bawal goreng at mainland Juru area. So she told me this place serves nice bawal goreng as well. First impression, the side dishes available for order is quite limited or less compare to the Juru one. I arrived around 12pm+ so I don't think the dishes finish already. Not much selection for vege and so I ended up taking ulam. The bawal goreng is a bit smaller but is fried to perfection and very crispy. I even chewed and ate the whole bawal fish head! Place is kinda hot and furthermore we sit at the edge of the shade area so it can be a bit hot. Price is so so, not really cheap. I took half rice, telur rebus, ulam and 1 fried ikan bawal and with teh ais. Total RM15.60. I personally still prefer the one at Juru but it is far so to serve my craving probably I will come here once a while too."

"I ordered the set bawal, which came in three different types of sauce to dip. Pomfret Fish was deep-fried into crunchy, which left not much fish meat, but you can request the chef not to over-fried. The rice mixed with curry sauce was to my liking and live up your appetize. They have coconut-jelly as desert, which is good too."
