After a long day at work, I was starving and while walking a long Jardine's Bazaar, I found this little gem. A flock of people were outside its front door looking at the menu that was plastered to it. I went in hoping for some good food stat. As I climbed up its stairs, I felt that this is a newly established restaurant like it had been remodeled. Upon reaching the second floor, I was immediately greeted by a staff and promptly directed me to a seat - a corner table just what I wanted! I glanced around the menu and also observed the diners and realized that this would be a good place to eat a warm and good meal. It was almost a full house by about 8:30pm! A lot of families, couples and buddies were seen dining and enjoying their meals. Most men and a few women were eating a sizzling all-meat platter that looked quite generous. I checked their dinner menu and went ahead with my order of a fish fillet platter with black pepper sauce. My order came toughly 10 minutes later with 2 generous fish fillets, boiled and bland cabbage ends, boiled/microwaved peas, carrots and corns, partially soggy fries, mayonnaise and the black pepper sauce that arrived late. The staff immediately noticed I was missing the sauce and quickly went to the kitchen to get it. Attentive staff!
It would have been a perfect dinner if the vegetables had been atleast sprinkled with salt, though now I am unsure if my table had any of those prepacked seasonings ready. The fries were made like the chef made a big batch, set them aside on a hot pan and took some as orders came in. Nevertheless, the fish made up for the poor tasting sides. The sauce for the fish was also good. It wasn't too overpowering too.

I will come back again.
