A restaurant I visited many times and finally decided to write a review recommending publicly.

We ordered fried prawn in Maggi sauce, jur jur chinese lettuce in shrimp paste,soy sauce chicken stew (pre-order), tofu and beef stew in black pepper sauce and steam aubergine and topped with pickle vegetables with minced. For dessert, we pre-ordered two steamed egg white in coconut shell.

Fried prawn smelled so fragrantly when served. You could tell it taste from its colour. Genuinely delicious. Juicy and crunchy shell. Prawn was cooked perfectly. What a good start.

Jur jur chinese lettuce in shrimp paste was served in a boiling hot clay pot. Better consume after settling awhile. It was pretty savoury and a bit oily. But it was perfect to eat with rice! The sweetness of rice balanced out the grease and the saltiness of the dish. Not bad!

Soy sauce chicken stew usually contains loads of ginger and shallots, sadly not this time. Chicken was more in a fattening side this time. Personally prefer more lean and meaty side. This time was not as satisfying as it was but still very good. Sauce was again perfect and not disappointing. Perfect to serve with rice.

Tofu and beef stew in black pepper sauce was disappointing. Beef was too chewy that could barely eat. We stopped eating the beef after 2-3 slices. Tofu was alright, coated with the thick steamy sauce. This dish was too saucy and sauce was too thick. Easily formed a skin once set and warm. In general, just a disappointing dish.

Steam aubergine and topped with pickle vegetables with minced was always the last dish to be served. It took most of the time to be cooked. Anyway worth to be waited. Soft and melty aubergine was served at the bottom. Each aubergine absorbed all the sauce that was so tasty. Right amount of pickle was served with generous amount of mince although the mince was a bit fattening.

The two steamed egg white in coconut shell were perfect to round and clean up your palate. Both were served super hot. Friendly reminder to open the shell carefully to avoid being burnt by the smoke; thus eating it slowly as pudding was boiling hot. Pudding was soft and smooth. Hint of sweetness but tasted coconuty. It was divine.

Overall, food mainly required to be waited for at least 15mins, but it was worth the wait. Satisfying and hearty. This time was a little bit disappointing but overall still good!

Friendly reminder to make a reservation instead of walk in, which is almost impossible to get a seat. Second, soy sauce chicken, scallion chicken and steamed egg white in coconut shell require pre-order.
