"We have eaten here once few years back — and it was so good that we simply had to revisit the restaurant during a day trip to Malacca from Singapore recently. Best believe that every single dish we ordered was cooked to perfection: everything perfectly seasoned, seafood incredibly fresh — exactly like how we remembered it, if not better. If we had to pick a favourite dish of the night (so hard ), it will be the Cheesy Tiger Prawn Bee Hoon. The umami of the broth is impeccable. Truly excellent quality food, great service with extraordinarily friendly staff! The joint is run by a lovely couple — who is super hospitable and so down to earth :) Hard to come across a restaurant these days that serves with heart. 10/10 must try."

"This have got to one of the best restaurant I've patronised in Malacca. Every food that we ordered was flavourful and well cooked. Seafood dishes were extremely fresh too. And.... their portion were generous with reasonable pricing!!! Everything was just perfect for me. The only regrettable thing was that I forgot to take photos. But as guessed, I couldn't help myself and to dig in immediately. Highly recommend you to make a trip down and try!!!"
