Extremely cheap economy rice (RM 4 for 1 meat 2 veggies) with reasonably-priced portions. Popular among UTS students. Fast service and good taste also. Highly recommended.

For UTS and KLT students, the noodles here are very fulfilling and delicious compared to general cafes. I recommend their wantan and variety of noodles.

I've eaten here several times. Always for the mixed rice as I really like the dishes. Tried their white kampua once, and it was really good as well.
