I am a bit disappointed about the waiting time and they forgot to provide spoon for takeaway food. But the nasi goreng sayur paprik taste amazing. First time that I eat from a restaurant like this that the food is not super oily, spicy, or salty. Even a fitness and weight loss coach like me also have to admit the food taste amazing. I bet other food on menu is great as well. Strongly recommend if you are in Mukah.
