A go-to spot for our family gatherings! ❤️ We absolutely love coming here for their authentic Chu Char dishes. The food is consistently fresh, flavourful, and always hits the spot, something that keeps us coming back again and again.

Food was so so, nothing memorable. Portions were okay but taste didn’t justify the price. Service was the worst part , the boss / person in charge had a very bad attitude, unfriendly and impatient. Ruined the whole dining mood.

It was full house when we came but still managed to find a table indoor. The salted egg crab is definitely the saviour, fresh, juicy and meaty. While the crab is the recommended, it can break the bank. Would not recommend the curry catfish.
