Went here for breakfast. The location is quite strategic just beside T junction. It is also nearby Machang bus station of mainroad. There are a lot seating and parking available. There are quite a few choices of food available like salai, asam pedas tetel and keli berlado. The taste is good not that spicy, the portion is fair and the price is reasonable. The atmosphere is good like an open space concept. The restaurant is also clean. Suitable to bring family and friends for hang out. The service is also great. Waiting time is very fast, the worker is nice too.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. This restaurant is located under a tree and has two canopies that place tables for the customers. Nampak biasa-biasa sahaja. But don't let it appearance fool you because the smoke meats,ducks and catfish serve there is the best that I've ever tried. Really recommended.

Located next to the Machang bus depot, very convenient if you prefer taking public transport here. Many people have been telling me to go to this place as I love salai masak lemak cili api (tho not the super duper hot that is preferred by Nogorians). I just love a decently smoked beef in spicy coconut cream broth full of fresh turmeric and lemongrass. This trip had not been a waste. The broth is thick and creamy, the beef is soft and slightly smoky. Paired well with dried fish and a simple cut of cucumber. I would prefer a hotter broth, but was made to understand that they had to tone down the chilies to win over the local market. We then tried the mutton soup - this is a muddy soup full of meat and crushed spices, reminds me of a hearty bowl of mihun sup utara but without the noodles - please get the soup as well
