Very different atmosphere. You can get your car wash there at dine at the same time. Kill two birds with one stone. However, the car wash is more expensive that the normal one you get in the market because of the technology used.

The place looked very high class and the enviroment is really great.

You can opt to dine outside if you like to smoke and dine.

The inside of the restaurant. The interior decor is very interesting.

I’m sure it’s a great place to have a romantic or relaxing quiet dinner with your loved ones.

We’ve been using it for more than a year already and we are very satisfied with it. Here’s some information if you need. Do visit their website for more details.

Sorry about the very dark photo, well… As you know places like this is always dark.

One of the decors you can find there.

Entrance to Kuching Festival Fair 2008.

From the photo, it looked quite blank because we went there early. It’s a popular place for people to buy some food back for dinner.

Many office workers would also drop by here to have dinner before going home.

One last photo of the stall. Food photos will come soon in this post.

Here’s the contact details if you are charged service tax by restaurants that are now exempted at cd@customs.gov.my or call 03-88822605/10.

The government has abolished the requirement for such restaurants to pay service tax effective July 1.

All restaurants operating outside hotels were previously required to pay the tax if their individual sales over 12 months exceeded the threshold of RM500,000.

As for restaurants in hotels, they are still required to pay service tax of 5% regardless of their sales amounts.

Restaurants in hotels with 25 rooms or less are only required to pay the 5% tax if their sales values exceed RM500,000 per year.

Do take note.
