Whenever I'm in TPY, I will purposefully make my way to this hawker centre just to eat at this stall, not only because it's cheap, but also because it's delicious. I like my rice with sauce and requested for more curry sauce which the server ...

18/11/25, a really economical rice with plenty of dishes. Had 4 dishes (a canned fish, chicken, 2 x vegetable) and a white porridge @ $3.60 — where to find? The taste was good and the queue was fast. It is more like buy and eat — can try having it when here.\n26/1/26, had 5 dishes today @ $3.90. As the owner said, bringing down the price to assist more seniors. A very kind-hearted stall. If you see the dishes, there were a lot and tasty. Highly recommended.

Super economical, no complaints. Usually there is a queue but it moves quite fast so no issue. Food-wise was okay. As you can see I always order around the same items.
Ahmad Firdaus
Nice, thanks boss for selling so cheap and good food. 2 meat 2 veg $3.20. Portion today not a lot as mentioned but still full as a plate.
Tan Seow Kheng
Shocked to see their price list. There was a fast-moving line when I went to dabao. The food is decent, doesn't taste bad and super affordable is the main draw. If you're not looking for Michelin, this is definitely one of the best money-saving ways in this area.
