Especially weekends, the Q-ing is a pain in the neck not to mention under the hot sun. The business hours from 10am till 3pm (but differ accordingly to the servings, might close early if sold out). It so easy to order, just let them know how many of you and he/she will serve you accordingly. 1 person portion = 5... More

So dissappointed with the experience. The rice ball was miserably small, not fragrance. The chicken was tasteless and seem to be soaked in plain water, not tender at all. Presentation was lousy with the chicken poorly chopped, the bones was not even cleanly cut. We were told it was half a chicken but we felt we were short-changed, cant even... More

This is one of the place you must visit to eat. The chicken is simple but delicious. The rice ball is soft, moist, and really fragrant. Better than the dry one at afamosa chicken rice ball. You must try eating them with the sambal, really good. Brought my friend along on the next visit, and they loved it too, we... More

Went around lunch time and there was a queue. Patient waiting for about 30 minutes and we are in the shop. Would not call it a restaurant as it is not. Arrogant and hurrying service, obviously wanting to turn the tables fast for the next lot of customers. Rice balls were soft, fragrant, and delicious. The chicken was a tad... More

The chicken rice balls are nicely shaped up, and it's soft. You can easily have lots of it as it's too yummy to be resist. Be there early as the queue gets really long.

The chilli is superb. Chicken is nice but remember to order a bit more than what is recommended by the owner. The chicken rice ball is, well, not bad for me. However, my friends who love chicken rice claimed it is one of the best.

Soft and moist chicken rice balls esp when it soaks up the oil and juices from the chicken. The chilli is pedas but goes excellently with the entire meal. It opens real early at 7.30am so beat the lunchtime crowd!
