Food never disappoints. This is open 24 hours dine-in. Came here at 130 am and is was busy. There's a lot of traffic and loitering outside of the restaurant. They have the automatic ordering system which is convenient for tourists. Lots of seating and charge points.

I got the Prosperity Beef Burger Meal here. The service and seating was good. I just don't think I like the Prosperity Burger. It's my first time trying it in Malaysia, and I'm not a fan. Not an issue with location but the recipes itself. It is a sloppy burger with only flavor that of black pepper. Not my taste for a burger.

Good drive through service and open in the morning before I went to school. Food is always up to order, even the no pickles on my cheeseburger. I like it because I don't really have to do much talking. Especially with the screen I can order from. Also fast service and great staff. My grandma asked where the pharmacy was. She accidentally went to the clinic but when she came back, our order was already done and they were just waiting for us.
