"I stumbled upon this restaurant when I was looking for a place with air conditioning to have lunch because the weather was too hot!!! Both my parents and I found the prices on the menu reasonable, so we decided to have lunch there. We ordered a few simple dishes such as Stir-fried Green Beans with Salted Radish, Sizzling Tofu, Stir Fry Sambal Kangkung, and Scrambled eggs with shrimp. These four ordinary dishes surprised us, not only was the service good, but the food also came out quickly, perhaps because there weren't many people yet. The food that arrived was steaming hot and looked appetizing. The taste was just right, not too oily or salty. My parents and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal and felt satisfied. If it weren't for the fact that it's a bit far from my house and parking is difficult to find, I would definitely come here often."

"Food are delicious, portion is good, though rice could add abit. The Thai green tea isn't too sweet like most out there, which is good"

"A restaurant serving Thai food located in the New World Park. We were asked to sit in the dining area outside (non airconditioned) because all the tables inside (air conditioned) had been booked by tourist groups who came in buses. We tried the lunch set for 2 persons for RM35. It consists of a small pot of kheng som fish, bamboo chicken and sweet radish french beans plus two plates of white rice. The taste of the food is good, the serving portion is appropriate and for RM35 nett, it was worth the money."
