Pros : variety of food, they have credit card machine Cons : 1 male waiter that serve us was not friendly, he kept correcting our words as we're not local (eg. we asked for jus tembikai he repeat it with local words which was timun cina, air kelapa with ayaq nyok)...he done it few times that sounds quite annoying plus he make faces each time...
