Hi Team. Disappointing food because the fish maw was suspiciously darker in colour, it is musty in taste and the rest of the seafood was darker in colour as well. Not sure if your container was one of the causes or your business kept overnight stock and sell it as takeouts in disguise. My mother has this for dinner and after about an hour, she had upset stomach been feeling sick and nauseous since then. All of the prices are not that economy friendly but, please have decency to provide proper food quality and service to consumers. All of us are paying to eat and enjoy your food into our stomach... This is unsafe to us and poor food quality is unacceptable in fnb industry.

Very nice and authentic nyonya food. Great variety of dishes including stewed dishes, fragrant nasi lemak and classics like mee siam and laksa. Those that want a taste of everything can get their platters. Price were very affordable too, less than $20 per pax including drinks and dessert. Did I mention their desserts were amazing too? Putting coconut ice-cream into classics like chendol and pulut hitam is a match made in heaven. Couldn't resist dabao-ing their freshly made kuehs and those were amazing too - not too sweet and very soft and chewy. Will be a regular for sure!!

Great friendly staff and good services. Environment is clean, spacious and comfortable. Good place to chat, dine and relax. Recommends the Laksa.

This is my first time visiting, and there were many empty seats available. However, there weren't many desserts left. I ordered the Tiffin Lu Rou Fan, cake, and drink set. The cake was delicious and the tea was well prepared. The main isn't very impressive. We ordered the babi pongteh and nasi lemak. The babi pongteh was so good. It's not too heavily flavoured, reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The nasi lemak was alright.

Came at off peak hour on a weekday afternoon.. The place had only a handful of diners.. My meesiam was served within minutes.. It comes with a hard boiled egg, 2 prawns and a begedil.. Tastewise it is quite good, about 7/10. The place, even though is air-conditioned, feels rather warm on an afternoon.. Hence it is not a place where u want to sit and chitchat for long. Overall not too bad place to catch a quickie meal if u are craving nanyang styled food. Not too hurting on the wallet also
