3 dishes, $29, took 46 minutes to prepare due to one missing cook. Coffee pork rib was disappointing. Hor fun and vegetables are so so.

We ordered the recommended dishes including the fried rice, curry fish head, Caipo tofu and ngoh hiang. Unfortunately, the curry fish head was a major letdown. The fish tasted extremely stale, the flesh was tough, and the overall flavour was quite unpleasant. Definitely not what we expected from a recommended dish.

We especially loved the Curry Fish Head, portion was huge and perfect for sharing. The prawn paste chicken was crispy and juicy, my girls couldn’t stop munching! Pork rib king was tender and full of flavour too. Prices are reasonable for the portion size, and it’s such a great place for family meals.

The zi char dishes taste authentic and homely. The Curry Fish Head was rich and flavourful. Prawn Paste Chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I loved the horfun, full of wok hey and ingredients. Food portion were generous, great for sharing. Perfect place for gatherings with friends or family.
