The hawker's stalls are NOT premium as the seafood here (East Coast Seafood).

We tried their Dim Sum and Koay Chiap, which is average but bland in taste.

The Dim Sum selected are the Siew Mai (Mince Pork & Prawn Dumpling), Har Kau (Prawn Dumpling), Yam with Char Siew Pork Ball (Yam Ball), Char Siew Pau (Char Siew Pork Dumpling), Chicken Glutinuos Rice (Nor Mai Kai) and Chai Koay (Vegetable with Dried Prawn and Pork Roll).

As for the Koay Chiap (Thai style), it is bland with less spices aroma, which you will distinctively taste. It contained a few pieces of meat, half an egg, other spare parts or meats included, and thick square noodle (Koay Chiap). Sadly the noodle are lumped together, and the soup is NOT delicious. Lastly, we ordered the Fried Clams instead of the normal Fried Oyster, and it tasted okay.

The China noodles are delicious (Beef or Pork), the meat is so tender which melted in your mouth.

The selection of drinks is wide and many premium drinks which are available here... like the Mango, Passion Fruits, Honeydew, Rasberry and the other local fruits. Also available is the Fresh Coconuts and the standard Coffee Shop (Kopi Tiam) drinks.

Overall, I rate this place a 4 stars becoz of the many choices or wide selection of food here. Also the ambience here was nice,...

Today, I'm opt for the refreshing crunch of rojak, while my boyfriend indulges in the tantalizing flavors of grilled squid and mushroom. With each bite, the burst of flavors dances on our palate, leaving us thoroughly satisfied.
