The upscale version of its original at Legenda with the same name. You can get the same dishes as the original but with a wider menu. Offers some "atas" dishes like orrni in pumpkin, suckling pig, cold dish, like those you would find in a typical Chinese wedding banquet.

Read moreFirst time visiting this restaurant. Made a reservation for six before coming over. First impression: seating was air conditioned and comfortable. The standard Chinese restaurant food were of great taste. Few dishes that stood out to me were sizzling homemade taufu and sweet sour siakap. Service is up to par of what's normal in these type of establishments. Atmosphere is good as it is air conditioned and enclosed. Will highly recommend to visit this place, for larger groups do make reservations...
