Love this dish. Crispy and delicious. Though the sauce can be a little more. The taste is good and crispy.

I got their regular $4.50 rojak and found it to be alright, nothing to shout about. It came with a tow kwar pop. The you tiao were not adequately grilled, hence it was a little tough to bite. Good thing is that the sweet sauce and chili sauce are offered on the side so you can adjust according to your taste.
