Mum & dad live in Klang and I go there every couple of weeks, so maybe I can recommend a new place to them, eh?<BR/><BR/>jackson: yeah, the lunch special is pretty decent. Plus there's aircon too, so no need to sweat it out while eating!<BR/><BR/>kampungboycitygal: the pricing for the rest of the items is around the RM10 range as well.<BR/><BR/>tigerfish: yeah, we were quite miffed about the soup. The almost raw ladies fingers didn't jive with the duck curry. But maybe it's a matter of perception as well, as I'm used to seeing ladies fingers in fish curry rather than meat curry.<BR/><BR/>boo_licious: the hawker selection is awesome there, which makes me wonder why they would open a vietnamese restaurant in the midst of food paradise.
