"A rare spot that sells 'ikan bakar berempah' during lunch hour with multiple choice of fish that you can choose with different prices.. fear not, there's also multiple malay dishes if you're not in the mood for ikan bakar on that day. It's in outdoor setting and near to the beachside.. might be a little too hot when the sun up at noon"

"We had a fantastic experience dining/ lunch here in Dungun! We ordered 4 large portions of ikan bakar for 4 of us, and everything was absolutely delicious. The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly grilled, and packed with flavor. What surprised us most was the price – so affordable compared to the city, yet the quality was top-notch. It’s definitely a gem for anyone who loves fresh seafood without breaking the bank. This is certainly a spot we’ll be coming back to again, not just for the food but also for the cozy atmosphere that makes it great for sharing a meal with good company. Highly recommended!"
