Joachim OoiDecember 27, 2016Faster drink the soup before it gets salty later on. I must admit it was good. Go for their Scallops, Abalone Sliced, Deep Fried Fu Chuk, and the fresh Prawns. -Penang Kia Food Critique-Upvote3Downvote
Joey KokNovember 16, 2014There are two choices of soup type (fried fish 35-65 & grouper fish 40-75), it's reasonable because the soup including crispy bean curb, seaweed, Chinese cabbage, and fish. But it's very crowed.
