The fishes served here are river catfishes, tilapia, mahseer (kelah), etc. Tilapia and various types of catfishes are served daily.

The dishes served here are simple Malay dishes served in Malay homes. They are tasty and well cooked. Prices here are really reasonable too. The place is also simple and is a place that the local folks who live around the area go to for their fill of delicious food.
