Sounds kind of confusing but that is what we felt like when we went to Dai Cha Fan along Jalan D.S.Ramanathan, Penang.  And why I said homely?

Firstly, most of the Food are homecooked and we were served in a homely bungalow-styled house.  Secondly, the food on the menu is "bottomless" or "endless" should we want to order the same food again and again, they would be served by two friendly staff.  Thirdly, there is no time limit, we could sit as long as we want.  But of course, we did not.... we went at 11plus and left around 4pm... not eating all the time, just chilling out and talking to the lady boss when she came out from the kitchen after the peak hour.  

From what the lady boss told us, her son is the one who innovated this idea of allowing patrons to come and relax in the bungalow-styled with food served throughout the day.  Not so much of making profits, so we were told and another reason is that she has a passion for cooking.  

As for the pricing, it works this way.... one friend bought 10 coupons for the rate of RM600 and she has to use this up within 3 months, if I am not mistaken.  The coupons are transferrable and that is why my friends and I (five of us) bought 5 coupons from her, totaling RM300.  Of course, we need to book in advance one day before.... and overall, it was a wonderful experience and we wouldn't mind going there once again some day.
