Brought my family to try ah loong son's fishball noodles with smooth chicken, stuffed taufupuff and hakka deep fried pork. They used to have those 'flying saucers', fish skin dumplings but no longer. Ah loong's father used to run his shop from an old bungalow on the fringe of Kg. Baru back in the day - my dad used to take us to eat once a year. Fishballs are hand made, hence the uneven texture.

I thought she just ran to the back to inform something then she would be back but she didn’t return to our table at all . We called another uncle to place the order, but he said we have to wait , it wouldn’t be that fast 😅. Actually other table all ordered only left our table . Then we waited for a while and called several times to place the order, but he didn’t come, so we left! We will never come to such a poor service restaurant no matter how...
