"So far the best place with decent ambiance in Tawau. Had dinner here with colleague. We ordered tomyum beehoon, lamb rack, nachos and rwndang bowl. All these are big portion amd all for sharing. We ordered all these for 3 pax. Still cant manage to finish it. Nachos was also quite nice considering its in Tawau. The rooftop we seated at the hightable overlooking the Sebatic Island"
