So tonight I met him here for dinner. We waited for about 10 mins and was soon led to a booth seat at the back of the restaurant.
The restaurant has quite an extensive menu, all neatly laid out into sections comprising of congee, noodles, rice, BBQ meats (siu mei), snacks and drinks, so it was easy to peruse through and decide what to choose.
Since I wasn't all up for a heavy carb or protein meal (I've heard good things about their char siu though), I ordered the corn and pork cube congee and a dish of plain cheong fun, while my brother picked the wonton lo mein.
The food came out within 10-15 minutes of ordering and it all looked freshly prepared which is definitely a good sign.
My brother's lo mein was quite a generous portion of thick egg noodles, with a separate bowl of 6-7 wontons in soup. He ate it all quite quickly saying it was good and that the prawns in the wonton tasted fresh.
My congee was definitely comfort food at it's best. The rice had been cooked till it had melted so it had a very creamy texture which is how I love my congee. The corn bits were definitely fresh off the cob, with each kernel bursting with sweetness. The pork was also lean and very tender.
The cheong fun was so-so though. I mean still not bad, slight chewy texture, but near the end, it got a bit too soft. The accompanying soy sauce was really good though with a slight sweet tone mingling with the saltiness.
All in all very satisfying. Will definitely come back for the congee and to try their char siu farn
