I have enjoyed myself here and can well understand the surprisingly long queue of patrons who'd want to eat in this establishment. The prices are reasonable but some menu items are admittedly costlier than what they should be. The variety of food is amazing and all tasted deliciously great.
Waiters and staff were very friendly and I can see that they put extra care and effort in making sure not to mess up our orders. They were even apologetic when they told us that our food would come in by about 15 to 20 minutes. One of our orders came in very late though and we had to follow that up at least twice. The strategy we adopted to lessen the waiting pain was to order dinamita (dynamite) appetizers which my group really enjoyed. These appetizers were fairly quickly served.
Air conditioning was quite weak when we were there but the place was jam-packed with customers and that could be the reason for a rather warmer dining experience. That was not enough to make me remove a star from my rating on this restaurant.
There are plenty of parking spaces but cars would have to be stacked two up so the driver of the parked car outside will have to move their car out of the way once the parked car inside needs to get out. It's a bit inconvenient but I can see this as the price we have to pay for enjoying the food inside.
I'm sure to go back and eat here again. I'll make sure to come in early than the usual supper time so that we can get ahead of the burgeoning...

Read moreThis Singaporean restaurant in the Philippines attempts to bring the flavors of Singapore to the local dining scene, but some of the dishes take unexpected turns that don’t quite hit the mark.
The nasi goreng and char kuey teow, for instance, come across much sweeter than the versions you’d typically find in Singapore. Instead of the smoky, savory depth and umami punch these dishes are known for, the sweetness dominates, leaving them feeling unbalanced and a bit out of place. For those familiar with authentic Singaporean hawker fare, the difference can be disappointing.
On a more positive note, the laksa is a pleasant surprise. The broth is rich with coconut milk, fragrant with spices, and carries just the right level of heat to warm the palate. This dish comes closest to capturing the bold, comforting flavors you’d expect from a proper Singaporean laksa and is easily the highlight of the meal.
Overall, while the effort to localize flavors may appeal to some diners, the sweeter interpretation of staple dishes takes away from their authenticity. The laksa redeems the experience, but for anyone seeking a true taste of Singapore, this restaurant may feel like...
