| If you are a tourist, this is the place to go. The have a specialty that is very unique and super tasty - The well known Sour & Spicy Bee Hoon Soup with Fresh Garoupa (choice of fish head or fish slices, choice of fish too, so price differ on which fish you choose). But since you came all the way for this, go for the best ! Just check out the bountiful lemon grass sticks and you will know how beautiful the soup is ... |

| A humble family business, started all by the road and into a shop at Sungai Pinang, they have moved now to Rangoon Road and have been here for several years. The old man does not cook anymore, all the secrets passed to the son, he now sits down at the counter and collects money... mum stands on guard, keeping a close look on non-paying customers who try their luck on a free meal, according to the lady boss, this happens rather frequently ... how sad ... |
 |
| So, the must 'trys' are fish head garoupa bee hoon in sour and spicy soup, deep fried fish skin, the home made bean curd and also the garoupa fish head and yam pot if you can still eat or have a big group - try the steam version fish here is super fresh and not overpriced |

 |
| It can get rather crowded here. Best time to come is brunch time when the work lot is not out for lunch yet. Also you should have brunch instead cause you will tend to overeat here as the food is yummy. |
 |
| Forget the Kopi O cause they serve the sachet ones. I normally bring my own Chinese tea. |
