A very suitable place to chill and dine with friendsthe ventilation in the store is good and there is no heavy smell of oil smoke, there is no smell on the hair and clothes after we finished the foodThe food tastes great. Strongly recommend the spices potato & lotus root, the seasoning is just right. Hot pot is also a must. The tomato soup base is very fragrant and flavorful. It will taste better if the skewers are soaked for a while. For dessert, I recommend ice jelly. It is very filling and not too sweet. It is very refreshing and cool.

One of the best and affordable places to get lok lok or even some main course in cheras traders square. You can choose from the variety of skewers available and each of them cost between 1-4 MYR depending on what you choose. The meat is fresh and they give you two cooking options (fried or boiled). You can also order soup for an additional fee. They also had alcohol and live music when we went.
