A truly local experience. There was a good selection of local dishes and they were delicious. Had the Pek Nga (lempeng/pancake) which was served with fish curry. Also had the pulut with ikan masin (glutinous rice and salted fish). It was a good breakfast. Note: The rating is relative to local roadside stalls and not restaurants.
