You can't miss this place. It's visible from the North South Highway coming down from Kuala Lumpur. I've always driven past this place without giving it a second thought as it seems like a tourist trap with bad food to me. In a way, it was, a tourist trap, but the food was far from bad!

Tourist traps do not serve prawns as fresh as this. And this is a dish that my wife and I would order seconds. One plate is never enough! The prawns were live, flash boiled and served with soy sauce. Simple as that. But there was nothing simple about the taste. The prawn on it's own is nice and crunchy, with the taste of prawny goodness. Paired with the dark soy sauce, it was a match made in heaven! A simply excellent dish!

Almost everywhere you go in Seremban you are bound to come across a stall selling hakka mee. This stall gives the standard dish a twist by frying it with tou miu, prawns, sotong and egg. I really enjoy this dish! The wok hei is strong in this one. The seafood in this dish are fresh, and if you ask for a serving of sambal to go with this dish, it would give the dish a kick so hard you wonder why they did not do that to the dish in the first place!

Want to have fish but don't like the bones? This is the answer to your prayers! Sliced snapper fillets stir fried with garlic, ginger, oyster sauce and spring onions, with a dash of chinese wine added into the mix. What can I say about this dish? Nice, smoky goodness, that's what! The combination of flavours blends well with the fish. If you added hor fun to the mix, you will have an excellent stand alone dish!

The kam heong lala is pretty good too! A combination of spices and dried shrimps makes this dish a must have when you're having a bowl of rice!

Sweet sour pork......... In ice?! Yes! and it tastes pretty good too! they somehow managed to keep the pork crunchy, with a nice coating of sweet and sour sauce, cold and yet, still damm tasty! I still get a kick when I see the faces of my guests when this dish is brought to the table! This is a must-have whenever I come here.

Together with a dish of toufu, three plates of rice, a coconut, a chinese herbal drink and chinese tea for five, the bill came up to RM171.85 for the five of us. Pretty reasonable, considering the quality and volume of food. Money well spent!
