"This Chinese restaurant is easily accessible and conveniently located beside the famous Taiping lake garden. We were in the hurry so we ordered 2 bowls of noodles and a plate of vegetables. The big bowl of noodle was a terrible order! Lousy with lots of noodles but few pieces of meat. If not for the flat noodles, I would not have given 4 stars. Next time let the waiter recommend...oh it's located beside a decorative temple."
