Affordable and excellent meal. Love the mee Hong Kong. Something different from what I tasted before. And the drinks lady was very helpful. I was asking for directions and she told her son to bring me to the place. What a wonderful people at Belawai.

Lots of local delicacies. If you're looking for 'sesar unjur' and 'lumek salai' recommended to come here. Fish 'Umai' also can be pre-book here.
