2 months agoWell this place was famous. I was told it's the best stir fried restaurant by my friends whom visited. Locals told me not to waste time. I tried anyway and the locals are definitely right. Very average stir fry style restaurant. Good part is everything not too salty. Other than their honey roast pork is more special, nothing is outstanding. I could walk in to any of my neighbourhood store and get similar quality stuff easily. Only plus point is quick and warm service and very nostalgic old building. Other than that a very mid restaurant which is popular.

a month agoAs some mentioned, pretty normal stir fried dishes. Long queues, mainly tourists. Queues are fast moving, best to come at 730pm when queue is shorter, start clearing tables 8pm. There're only 18 tables inside. Some photos.

a week agoThis place serves local home-cooked food with a simple, familiar taste—nothing fancy, but definitely acceptable. It’s a good spot for a casual lunch. The place gets quite crowded and has a very local, down-to-earth vibe.Reserve if possible.

a week agoPacked with long queues so make a reservation. Best dish - make sure you order a bigger portion is the double roasted pork with chilli padi. So nice. I have tried better Assam fish curry. Rest of dishes were standard chinese dishes. Avoid their fish maw soup. Good but not great.

3 months agoA delightful dinner at this hugely popular restaurant.Reach here 8 min after the opening time and there’s alrdy a queue forming outside. Queued for 40min to get seated down but food arrived soon after.Didn’t managed to order most of the recommended dishes as they are spicy and not suitable for children.Love 7 dishes out of the 9 we ordered ! The dishes were so flavourful, the fussy kids finished their rice !Would love to visit again ~Advise to come early as waiting time to get a seat is long
