We began the entrees with their Tofu Puff (RM18.00) . The stuffed tofu which is being served with the minced prawns, mixed vegetables battered and deep fried. Leaving us with the crispy edges of toufu and the scrumptious fillings of ingridients; the toufu made to our favorites. The juiciness in the tofu and the addictive Thai Chilly dipping makes a perfect match which is just irrestible.
Simple and not too appealing look ; The Evo Fried Anchovies (RM19.00) goes well as snacks and some beers too.
