What do customers say?

Roti canai and goat curry draw loyalists, though quality swings between crispy-fluffy perfection and soft-but-bland. Nasi lemak and noodles earn quiet praise. Gaps in service and dim surroundings deter some.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Tam and teh cafe @ Tambun

Half the reviews praise the smoked duck, fried rice, and generous prawn portions; staff friendliness is noted. The other half report cold chicken, poor coffee (RM10 wasted), and prices hitting KL-level rates for roadside-stall fare. Quality swings sharply between visits, leaving some regulars loyal and others soured. Early 2024 reviews flagged the decline: quality dropped noticeably even as prices stayed high. Recent positive feedback (6-7 months back) suggests some recovery in food and service, though one late complaint (2 months ago) hints the issues may linger.
