Eat here. If you don't you'll deprive yourself of a wonderful authentic experience. The host alone is so warm, welcoming and friendly with a laugh that fills the room. Half the experience is speaking to her and letting her serve you as if you were a guest in her home. This place is not pretentious, it's humble, honest and the personality of the owners pervades the food they serve. The tableware and the furniture doesn't match, the decorations are random and the theme is a bit of everything taped together but wow is it charming.
We over ordered with the intention of taking food home if we couldn't finish, we left empty plates it was so good. The roast trio was incredible, crunchy scratchings on tasty roast pork belly, honey char siu pork with tastes of plum and sweetness, duck with the skin roasted to perfection. The mince green beans were delicious, so fresh and spicy and the prawns were plump and perfectly cooked, they tasted luxurious. It was a genuine pleasure to dine here, we were lucky to turn up especially as we noticed tables reserved around us.

Best to come in a bigger group (at least 4 persons) to share multiple dishes. Every dish is equally satisfying. Remember to call and make reservation as they are...
Read moreAbsolutely delicious!! I came here recommended by my friend and it was even better than expected. The Mapo tofu was really tasty and spicy without hurting, you could enjoy it and eat non stop. The Salt and Pepper tofu, crispy outside and soft inside, nothing like the other restaurants, it is unique. The noodles very filling and tasty, just a bit too oily the Den Den noodles but still tasty. The Satay cabbage surprised me as it was tasty as well, different to any other way I tried before.
The owner, such a cute, kind and sweet person. I recommend this place without any doubt and I/we will...
