The best Chinese food restaurant in island so far. Come here at least once a week with my wife. Their ayam goreng mentega and buncis telur asin are a must menu for us. And the price is reasonable. RECOMMEND

ayam goreng mentega is the best so far! its crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. the chicken sauce is savory, buttery, umami and a hint of sweetness. i also ordered asparagus soup and nasi goreng babi (pork fried rice), i would say taste quite good.
