The cafe specializes in Nasi Dagang, a beloved staple where coconut rice meets sumptuous curries. Feel your taste buds dance with delight as you try their Nasi Dagang Ikan (MYR 7.00) – a fragrant rice dish paired with spicy fish curry that is just the right level of heat.

According to local patrons, it’s the go-to place for a satisfying breakfast that consistently brings them back for more. With ample parking but limited seating, you may want to come early to secure a spot. As one customer beautifully put it, "The taste is still the same, right from the old wooden KTMB station."

Excellent eatery for breakfast. Even though the “atmosphere” (or ambiance, if you like) isn’t the best, the food, and service are superb. You don’t hv to go to the east coast to savour EastCoast cuisine. I’ll go again next time I balik kpg!

How do i begin ... Well actually as this place has been operating for soo long as i can remember. Right from the old wooden KTMB station. Still the same is the taste. Some might argue that nasi dagang here is different from kelantan & terrengganu but hey, as long as the price is right and tasty, i'm certainly coming here. Good for breakfast. Ample parking space here. Seats are limited.

Modest breakfast spot. Pantai Timur food served at affordable price. Liked their nasi kerabu more than their nasi dagang but this is just a matter of preference. No major complaints but we can see why locals like it here. Overall, decent food and a quite clean warung environment

The restaurant look just normal, like an old one but their Nasi Dagang (It's Kelantanese version) is good. The portion is also great. The fish broth is thick and flavorful, goes well with rice. I hope they will consistent with the dish. This place is one of the most local people go to. When you come to Perlis, don't forget to pass by. Five star for their Nasi Dagang Kelantan.
