The food is what saves this place.
It was a table for 2, there were no other customers and time between order u0026 table delivery was approximately 45 mins. This after we started enquiring after 30 mins and actually got up to leave after 40 mins.
The ambiance is in no way sharp or snazzy, it has an old Chinese / Hong Kong family restaurant feel with wooden roof and window borders. Tables are no frills with typical Chinese lanterns u0026 deco sprinkled around the place. It is totally unpretentious and I personally liked it.
We ordered
* Pork dumplings - although the skin was on the thicker side, the filling was super juicy and altogether it was a great dumpling
* Mixed Fried Rice - Best item of the Day.
* Singapore Rice Noodles - Ok-Ok
* Shredded Beef with Onions - Not a big fan. I personally felt it was way to saucy. I was expecting it to be a stir fried semi-dry dish, but it was a gravy dish with copious amounts of cornstarch in the gravy. Flavour however was good, But the sauce threw me off
* Fried Pork with Peppers - Very very good dish. The sliced pork tasted like it has cut from a smoked Pork. This was dry and pork was perfectly cooked.
* Special mention - The in-house chilli oil is very good. Definitely chilli and a good addition to the dish.
We took 'medium' size helpings but portions were still a lot. Packed for home.
The bill, with 2 cokes u0026 2 bottled water came to around 33k, which is not cheap, by any standard. If only more attention is given to service and food delivery, for sure this place will do well.
The food is very very good and we don't mind paying for it .... However, if I have to wait for over 45 mins for a dumpling order, I have to give serious consideration before planning my next trip there
