"Nasi kandar is great. Good Kuah combination. Fried chicken is juicy. Place is hard to park, small shop, lucky to get a spot if you come during peak hours. Ignore long rants. Go give it a try, this is what locals like to get for dinned"

"This is a great place if you want to try a local restaurant. They have many varieties of local dishes. I ordered a half portion of rice mixed with the sauce (kuah campur), and their fried chicken. The chicken was tasty and juicy."

"Best Fried Chicken in Penang. You can smell the spices from the road walking in. Their NS is super popular for the locals and I was brought here by a local. Their dishes are all well cooked with the least favourite being the beef as it was hard to chew but my friend swears by the thick flavourful sauce. Their Fried Chicken was the 5 star show of the day with the turnover good enough for even a wait for fresh chicken to be brought from the kitchen. The chicken thigh was melt in your mouth meat with a superbly flavoured skin. The crisp and the spices went superbly well with the NS rice with sauce and their squid eggs deserves special mention. This is not a popular places amongst foreigners and social media so I was well impressed"
