One of the best chicken rice in this area. The quality of food didn't loss with the cheaper price, the portion is good, rice is well cooked, chillies sauce secured the fundamental of tastier experience. Must revisit. However, parking can be quite challenging here. There are 2 Ancient City Cafe, this one is in middle of shop row, don't go wrong shop.

Pork noodles are always my pick here plus the iced Kopi or iced Cham. Sometimes, I would buy guava here since the staffs are so friendly to help me pick the best one.

I am so glad that I found the red wine mi sua here. This stall only open at the morning. The presentation is ordinary but the aromatic red wine blend so well with the noodle. And the ingredient is more than I expected. This noodle is very suitable for post pragnancy. Will back for another bowl.

Only here for the chicken rice others was ok. Used to be owned the shop next to each other and there was a stall that specialized in steamed fish & other dishes. Also next to the stall there was a western food cuisine which served one of the best mushroom soup. Sadly now that it shrink to this shop they don’t operate anymore at night.

The seafood noodle is the one to go for, here. Started off with Seafood Curry Noodle which came with Lokan clam and other seafood. Later, when my aunt ordered hers, it came with Scallop. For second, I ate Grouper Meesua as Red Snapper was not available. Liked the Curry Noodle broth
