Fast service. Order 5 chicken rice to go. They already pre-ready the rice to bungkus and go for RM7 per chicken rice.
Affordable and good service. You may refill your drinks if you buy the cup drink that cost only RM2.
It was very tasty to eat here we visited this place for 3 days in a row including when we got back from kundasang. Most importantly, got 2 laundry opposite of this restaurant so we can do some laundry while eating. But on top of all the food was very tasty amd cheap too. Just outside the restaurant got a lady sellimg fried bananas and chempedak. Please buy it, very tasty too!! I had nasi goreng kampung and pataya and also tried the mixed dishes rice. All recommended. I wish the restaurant success to serve the local communities.
First time to have a lunch here. The food is delicious and there is a lot of menu that u can try here with a reasonable price. Gonna repeat to eat here again
When it comes to semenanjung opens up a restaurant here in KK City, this must be an epitome of it. A place that is famous for it's various choices of Malay Kueh and local dishes, when I say various, it holds more than 20 dishes in buffet style from proteins to vege all day long, yes all day long - that's their signature. I just got here before 6:30am and the owner is already counting her profits but I find it annoying when she had to be tegas/ assertive w her workers without considering people around, and her mood followed through even when she was dealing us the customer, it's like a sin for me just to enjoy a cup of tea when the place offered so many. Please smile dear lady boss, u have such a beautiful one, and you have such great team of workers, they literally come to one table to another if orders are well taken care of. Anyway, this place is a true blessing for many, creating opportunities for Semenanjung housewives to gain money as they send their products to this restaurant, satisfying they whom craving for Semenanjung foods and environment.
We brought school kids for trip and ordered food for lunch here . The experience was amazing . The owner even provided special drinks for them. The best place to eat in Sepanggar area. Tqsm . Sorry for late review
One of the best mixed rice semenanjung style ni kota kinabalu. The dishes is very tasty with affordable price. There's lot of choices that make you confuse on what you want to eat. The air balang concept is very interesting and can attract more customer to come. Will repeat to eat here after this
