Disappointed. Charged 2 rice cakes and did not receive. Satay was burnt. Sauce is diluted. Please check your order before leaving. Lesson learnt.

Food was ok. Rice was a little too soft and wet. Price was reasonable compared to other places I have been.

Ordered chicken satay and realised thats some of them were raw, decided to tell them about it so that they could cook the other batch i ordered longer, but then the 2nd batch i ordered was still raw :(
Khai
The ayam penyet taste was excellent, as well as the complimentary assam soup. I am not normally a fan of assam soup or tempeh but both were amazing! Didnt have to pay more to dapao either. …
Cassandra
Did not order their Ayam Penyet. Ordered 5 sticks of chicken, beef and mutton satay each to check their Power Satay claim. …
