New Restaurant Ipoh Chicken Rice, PJ

This restaurant gives us a feeling of fast food, as everything is considered express here. The process of taking order takes about 3 minutes, i guess their waiters are very well-trained. The preparation time until the food served takes about 5 minutes, i think the food is readily prepared even before you order.(to ensure everything is going smooth during the Sunday lunch time.) And you can enjoy your food in 10 minutes time!

The food served has standard quality, and of great variety, namely roasted chicken, steamed chicken, bean sprout, meat ball in soup, fish, etc.

The clam here is not a famous dish, but we like the special simple aroma very much.

This restaurant will surely be your choice if you miss Ipoh Chicken Rice very much.
