1997 RESTAURANT, PAYA TERUBONG
Looking for cheap and delicious Chu Cha? I used to visit the restaurant always when I am a kid and after so long I stepped back again to try their Chu Char there to fill up your hungry tummy without burning a big whole in the pocket.

Their signature dish for the chu char is the Asam Curry Fish Head. This is where the serving of the fish head is kinda big size and the soup is furnished with lots of bunga kantan, onions as well as mint leaves. The Asam Fish Head here is slightly special where the cooking style of the curry are more on the soury spicy taste rather than the lemak taste of it.
Taste: 4/5
Price: RM 30.00

The Belachan Chicken is another dish we had ordered. The belachan chicken is being deep fried till crispiness and it is full of the belachan taste with it too. They usually choose drumlet and chicken wings to fried the belachan chicken here.
Taste: 3/5
Price: RM 12.00

Biskut Tambun Sambal Udang
Recommended by my colleague or a gift from him- Biskut Tambun Sambal Udang. Heard of it? Is my first time tasting it and the taste is nice. Its a it different as it is not that sweet on the filling since is not make from tau sah. The taste is a bit salty as well as is a bit spicy. Is kinda a new flavor and a new trial if you like to have something different.

The curry mee is served hot which 3-4 prawns as well as tau kua, and some cuttle fish as well. The meal is indeed delighting and the special things is the curry mee is added with some bunga kantan and a bit of lime.
As for the curry chicken, the sauce is extremely thick where there is a large amount of coconut added to cook the chicken. This make it even nice and oishi
