Came at 9.30pm not much crowd. Atmosphere is . They have big fans for outdoor sitting and indoor aircon as well. Most imptly, food is gd. Especially the Lala vermicelli & drunken prawn. Both is a must order.

A cosy and pleasant place to dine, though do expect some flies and mosquitoes. I was okay with it, but my partner was less comfortable. The crab and lala soup are definitely worth trying—so tasty! The owner and staff were warm, friendly, and easy to talk to, which made the visit more enjoyable.

New establishment prompt via word of mouth and reels by others, so give it a try to see how is it. But overall it's awesome. Bright and easy to find location despite its in one of the street. Clean environment and limited seats for up to 4 to 5 groups of up to 6 and maybe 2 groups of above 6. Straight forward menu and easy order menu for the dishes offered. Seafood porridge: flavouring and strong umami. Lots of ingredients can be a fulfilling mean for 1 or 2 sharing. So order accordingly. Lala soup: fresh and clean, flavourful, jus slightly rank behind the porridge. Which is a good option if you want soupy items during a cold day. Bbq fish: crispy and the sambal is awesome! Must have, very appetising with the chilli. Garlic sotong: non-spicy options but it doesn't loss to other food items in turns of flavouring. It's jus right and not rubbery. Cockles: not a fan of it, but people who eat state that it's very fresh. So can give it a try. Price wise it's very acceptable for the amount the amount of seafood and its very filling to all of us, including drinks.

Tried this eatery that serves BBQ seafood that is located within Taman Melodies. Chanced upon this place via social media quite some time ago and happen to be in the vicinity and decided to give this place a try. We reached there around 8pm, and there was much diner expect for another few tables. The owner was very friendly, since it was our first time here, We decided to follow with her recommendation. We ordered a total of 4 dishes, bbq stingray, sambal Kangkong, clams with superior broth and a steam beancurd. Our food didnt took long to be ready. The bbq stingray felt normal to me, nothing special for me.The outstanding dishes for me has to the the beancurd and clams. The clams were plump and fresh, the broth was definitely outstanding. Overall, the food was definitely good. Owner was very friendly and checked-in with us on the food. Interestingly, this eatery is a cafe by the day and becomes a bbq seafood place at night.

This place is a must-visit! The staff are extremely friendly and provide excellent service. The food is fresh and delicious, the prices are very reasonable and the setting is clean and cozy—perfect for a relaxed meal with family or friends. Just a heads-up: oysters are considered a special item and are available upon request.

Very friendly lady boss and staff. Very cosy ambience with both indoor (aircon) and outdoor (for smokers) seating. Ordered their signature dish - Lala broth which was very unique. Salted Grilled Prawns were a good choice as well. The Sambal Stingray with Lady Finger, Egg Omelette and Cockles were normal. Overall very nice place to dine. The price of the dishes are worth going for on a regular basis. Will definitely drop by again to try out other dishes.

Melodies great food overall. Lala soup is abit too small pot. Had salted baked crap and prawn, prawn is good but forgot about photo cos busy eating the crap. Stingray chilli is good. All seafood is fresh!

Highly recommend the claypot lala soup — super flavorful with fresh, big lala (clams) and no sand at all. The soup has a strong aroma of Chinese wine and really warms you up. The grilled fish is customizable by size and flavor, which is a nice touch. The sambal is fragrant and spicy — one bowl of rice is definitely not enough! The outdoor seating at night is very comfortable. It can be a bit slow when it’s busy, but the staff and boss are very friendly and welcoming. Great overall environment!
