One of my favourite Malay restaurants in Hulu Gombak. The food here is cooked with passion and is really tasty, compared to most of the Malay foods in PJ & KL, where they are simply cooked. I've eaten here several times after I go up the road for birdwatching. The price is reasonable, 3-4 dishes around RM7 to RM8. The staff are cheerful and happy, which is great. They have a lot of authentic dishes, which are hard to find in the main city area. Highly recommended!
