"Chilli garlic mixed seafood and lemon butter scallops are faves! Of course, their creamy leche flan for dessert. Good food, fast service, and friendly staff! Comfort rooms available, with parking area. If it gets a little bit too crowded, I think cars are allowed to park at the next gas station. Cravings satisfied every time!"
