"Stop by here on the way to Kundasan. Not sure what to order and I noticed the is fried Pan Mee. Gave it a try. Not bad but a bit salty for me . Also ordered the red bean Pao. I like the Pao. Paste is not too sweet and the Pao is fluffy. I mean airy type. Opss, forgot about the home brew coffee. Nice as well. Note: halal"

"The BEST fried tom yam Tuaran noodles in Sabah, their tom yam fish noodles also best! BEST MATCH is tom yam fried noodles and tom yam fish noodles or just tom yam soup will do. So when you guys going to Tuaran or going to Kundasang can drop by try this."

"Love their tomyum. Always opt for the soup version.. Finally try out the dry version, it's soooo rich in flavour with wok hei.. However their food is slightly on the sweeter side. Self service, make ur order at the counter, pick up your cutlery, and the servers will serve your food to you."

"Great restaurant located conveniently beside the main road, I love the open air settings so it doesn’t feel too hot, plus they have plenty of big kipas so you get to enjoy some cool air. Ordered Kuey Teow Goreng, I love the wok hei flavour, I forgot how much it was but it was good. I do think the Tom Yam soup doesn’t taste like how it usually it tastes but is still good. As for the Mee Tuaran, it’s good too! I think they accept QR and cash for payment method, not sure for card. Plenty of parking spaces as well don’t worry! Will definitely come again if I come to Tuaran again. Service is great too! Overall 9/10."

"I heard this viral store so I give it a try. I order konlau mee with Tom Yum soup and Fried Tuaran Tom Yum mee with chicken. The fried noodles Tom Yum 4/5 the tom yum taste is sure not as strong to it's counterpart soup but a plus point is the chicken because served like chicken rice serving. But the konlau mee with Tom Yum soup is 5/5 because the soup taste is strong concentrate and thick soup, amazing. I will come again. Keep up the good job ."
