Ho Michael
I give 1 star because the owner put 3 employees to run the business. You got to be joking? 2 in the kitchen 1 to run the counter and table service etc. I don’t know how you run your business and service.
Liew Hafizah
Quick and fuss-free lunch with set meals already listed on the menu. The price is reasonable for a padang restaurant located in the mall.
Ho Nurul
Pretty good nasi padang in a quiet, unassuming corner of Suntec City. There's also a buffet option, which could be very value-for-money for hungry individuals. Despite the name, chopsticks were not in evidence.
Ang Hafiz
Went to try out their buffet for the first time and all I can say is that it was totally worth it!! Despite it being free flow, they don’t compromise on the flavours too and really enjoyed every dishes ordered!
