Mietta's Review
Surrounded by booming electronic game parlours are some simple student cafes as is Nudo. A narrow shopfront of orange and silver with orange banquets and tiny square tables for two. The food is Malaysian. It's not bad and the price is right ($6.50 Hunnan chicken and rice). Service, from a harried elderly waiter, is homely but efficient. The clientele is mainly Asian students. Open til 2am on weekends.
