Delicious and it was served hot and boiling in front of you. Nice to eat during raining season as the hot and spiciness of the asam pedas will warmth your body.

Went to UTM because we simply want to go down the memory lane since both me and my husband are both UTM alumni. We wanted to try the food in the cafes and came through a TT video showing a lecturer suggesting this eatery. So, we decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. The asam pedas was marvelous! You can see from the pics that i finished the asam pedas sampai takder kuah sebab sedap sangat. I got mine with ikan mayong and my husband with his ikan pari. Memang sedap. Portion-wise...i rasa macam utk budak universiti...tapi okayla..sesuai. Boleh je tambah nasi extra. We didn't because we wanted to go eat somewhere else after that.
