Now i know why that place is always full of people, the food here is good and very reasonably priced. i had a meal with dishes (small portion) and white rice and it was about RM10 including drinks. (tapi x byr pon!)hehhe...Looks like this will definitely be a place we will come back again and again for the great food and prices.

This place serves some unusual drinks and I tried their Santai Special. The red bits at the bottom are soft jelly bits while the yellow part is Kickapoo, a fizzy drink unique to Malaysia. This is topped by some finely shaved ice. Nice cool drink to tackle the heat. hehehe...(gila promote santai weyh!!)

This is the Daging Masak Merah dish, I am not sure about the translated name but it is sliced beef fried with onions and chillies with a tomato sauce.omg sedap doe! It's quite a standard Malay dish and in most places, you can order fried rice with daging masak merah as a one dish meal.yummy..yummy.:)

This is the Thai dish, Kerabu Mangga (Malay for Mango Kerabu). You notice that in most Malay restaurants, there are some Thai influences especially those who come from the northern states that share the border with Thailand. Similarly in the southern Thailand, there are also quite a number of Malay food stalls at the rest areas and the towns. Kerabu is mainly a salad and you can a few varieties like the papaya or even pomelo ones. This version has sliced young mangoes, sliced onions, chopped chillies tossed with a tangy sauce, fried anchovies and peanuts. I liked the dish, it was nice and crunchy and the dressing was not too sour.
