    Kopitiam environment, serving hainanese food. Signature hainanese chicken chop was acceptable. First time here so can't compare with previous version by a different chef. My lunch mates commented today's was better than previous one.

    Arrived around 12 pm and there were already a few tables occupied. You can order your food by scanning the QR code on the table. Surprisingly, the food was served quite quickly.
