We had breakfast on Christmas morning 2024 after an early morning scooter ride to Gertak Sanggul Beach. The delicious and hot food made our morning ride complete. The people running the bistro are also very friendly. And lot of options.

A roadside stall just couple of meters after traffic light. Easy to identify with banner and flag stating ‘Payung Bistro - Masakan Kampung. Owned by Malay Muslim family. Better come early especially during lunch time due to limited dining space and parking. You must try their fried chicken which always served hot from the fryer and there are variety of dishes to choose from. So far all dishes are tasty. There also serve hot and cold drinks to accompany with your meal. Will definitely come again
