Disapointed with the food and service. Ordered the chicken cutlet noodles which looked good on the menu but turned out so disappointing in reality. When asked why I didn't have any cutlet in my noodles the staff pointed to the few shrivelled chicken pieces and said those were the cutlets. And then said they are correct in preparing their order.

The food is definitely nice! I just want to share my experience that I bought ‘Hot Teh Tarik’ from this shop. Just beware! On the menu, Hot Teh Tarik (din-in) cost $1.30. If customers didn’t order any food from them, the cashier will charge EXTRA $0.20 on each drInks. Unless you asked, they will not tell you. Did they charge as they please? Charging extra isn’t stated on the menu at all! I don’t see anywhere else charging like this!

Now I recall where I’ve seen this before. It’s the first stall at Newton hawker centre when you enter it. The laksa is full of hum. Very lemak and I dare say can challenge Katong laksa. BCM is not bad too. Drinks at $1 as a set. Quite good value.

Went there with mom to have breakfast. A small setup with 2 women running the whole show. We have lor mee and laksa and both taste good. $5 each. Didn't try their signature mince pork or meatball.

Returned visit. The mee are average coffeeshop price. Average about SGD 4-5.50. Portion decent. The tasty is good, mee texture is well. All the bowl will be added with crispy and fried lard crumps and this increase the layer of taste. Soup is favourable on the salty side. (I guess it is definitely not the healthy choice). This is my cup of tea.
