Went for the chicken and kambing samosas, plus a banana ball. The samosas were exactly what I’d hope for. Crisp and flaky pastry with fillings that actually taste like something. The chicken was comforting and well-spiced while the kambing had that deeper and savoury kick.
The banana ball was dense and chewy, almost like a fried banana bread but lighter on flavour. Interesting, but not my favourite compared to the samosas.

Loved this scoop! The pear gave a musky, fruity sweetness, while the cinnamon, cloves and star anise added a warm, woody depth that made it feel both refreshing and comforting. The flavour was layered but still light. Had it in their thyme cone, which added a savoury crunch and a fresh herbal lift 》$6.80
Not a huge selection of greens on the menu but this one does the job nicely. The choy sum was fresh and vibrant, stir-fried with garlic and bits of pork lard for extra flavour. Portion was generous too, which made it a satisfying side to balance out the richer dishes 》$10.80
The chicken was tender and juicy, baked in sea salt for 50 minutes so the flavour stayed clean yet deeply savoury. Loved that gentle hint of saltiness that lifted the natural sweetness of the meat without overpowering it.
Freshly baked twice daily at 10:35am and 4:35pm, it’s worth the visit. Pairing it with their chilli takes it up a notch. Comforting, punchy and easily one of the standout dishes here 》$18.80 / Half Chicken
Tender pork belly layered over savory preserved veg, all braised till rich and glossy. The flavours were deep, slightly sweet and super moreish . The perfect dish to go with rice.
Meat was soft, sauce was punchy and the whole dish was gone in no time. Total comfort dish that quietly steals the show 》$23.80
Golden pan-fried tofu stuffed with a mix of minced fish and pork, soft inside with a crisp edge. The light soy-based sauce with soybeans gave it a clean, earthy flavour that soaked beautifully with the tofu. Silky tofu, savoury filling and chewy beans made it simple but homely 》$12.80
The broth had that peppery aroma that reminded me of a gentler bak kut teh. It was light and clean but still full of flavour.
There was plenty of meat, all tender and well-cooked, plus one slice of liver. Pair it with their house chilli and it instantly levels up 》$5.80
The cucumber was fresh and crunchy, while the black fungus added that chewy bite. Tossed in a light, tangy dressing, it made for a refreshing appetiser that set the tone nicely before the mains 》$5.80
Refreshing and a nice change from the usual milk teas, just like a modern tong shui in bbt form.
The white peach oolong was light and floral, while the mix of peach gum, goji berries, and snow fungus gave it that chewy, slurpy texture that keeps it fun 》$5.90 Each
This bowl is seriously addictive! It’s the kind of sides you keep reaching for without thinking. The cheese-stuffed otah had that spicy kick with gooey cheese inside, while the crispy potato slices and fried lotus root gave all the crunch and snap. The fried dory fish was flaky and light, a nice balance to the heavier bites.
Shiok, crunchy and perfect alongside my mala collagen soup. Every piece added a different texture, making the whole meal feel more fun and satisfying.
Loved how each piece had its own texture. Shiok, melty, crispy, snappy and tender. Perfect pairing with mala and honestly, I’d order this again just for the crunch.
This bowl was shiok from start to finish. The mala collagen soup came with that signature numbing kick. Even at 中辣 it already felt fiery enough for me. The broth was rich and savoury with a creamy depth that made it more comforting than the usual mala.
The scrambled egg was the perfect balance of soft, silky and buttery. It mellowed the spice and added a smooth texture to the soup. With all the other ingredients soaking up all that flavour, every bite had its own character. The kind of bowl that warms you up and keeps you slurping till the very end. Medium spicy was just the right challenge for me 》$51.16 (1451g)
The 微辣 soup base already has a good kick. It’s tangy, sour and just the right amount of spice for me. Any spicier and I’d be out but at this level it’s warming without being overwhelming. The rice noodles are smooth and springy, soaking up all that broth beautifully.
With chewy tofu skin, crunchy cabbage, slippery kelp and tender fish slices, every bite has a different texture. Bold, slurpy and honestly perfect for a cold day 》$10.80
