We tried the fried rice with vegetables for the first time because someone at the table needed a vegetarian option and it turned out better than expected. The rice was fluffy and fragrant, with each grain distinct, while the chopped greens added freshness and a light crunch. It was surprisingly a dish that felt easy to enjoy without being heavy 》$13

The kailan was fresh and crisp with stems that had a nice bite and leaves that were tender. The sauce tasted like oyster sauce with a little extra depth, savoury and slightly sweet, pairing well with the greens. The crispy garlic bits on top added fragrance and crunch 》$13.80

🦈 Braised Shark’s Fin Soup with Crab Meat
Silky and rich with generous crab meat adding natural sweetness. A festive opener that set the tone for the meal.

🐟 Deep Fried Dragon Tiger Grouper with Sweet & Sour Sauce
Crisp outside and tender inside, coated in a bright sweet‑and‑sour glaze that gave the fish a lively lift.

🦐 Fried Prawn with Marmite Sauce
Coated in a savoury‑sweet marmite glaze that carried the dish even if the prawns leaned more firm than juicy.

🐷 Braised Pork Tendons with Mushroom & Broccoli
Hearty and earthy with tender pork tendons soaking up the braising sauce.

🦀 Crab Meat Fried Rice with Whitebait
Fragrant and well‑done with crab meat for sweetness and crispy whitebait for texture. A little pity it arrived near the end of the meal. We were almost too full for carbs so it ended up as a takeaway dish.

🍑 Peach Gum with Sea Coconut Dessert
Light and refreshing with gentle sweetness from peach gum and sea coconut. A soothing finish after the richness of the feast.

Tender pork slices stir‑fried with ginger and scallion, served with rice and a sunny side up. The pork was nicely tender but the portion leaned on the smaller side, though the egg helped round it out. I still wished there had been a touch more pork to balance the meal 》$6

Vegetarian braised Ee Fu noodle came with mushroom slices and sauce coating the strands. Not quite the style of Ee Fu I expected but the earthy mushrooms and light seasoning gave it a clean profile. Different from my usual idea of Ee Fu yet still a plate that tasted fine in its own way 》$5.90

This is the only stall in the coffee shop that is still open for dinner and it gets crowded during peak hours so it is best to make a reservation. They are more well known for their charcoal fishhead steamboat but this time round we went ahead with their tze char dishes.

Food is priced relatively affordable. The fried pork with garlic was crispy and good. I would say the other vegs are also done above average. Chilli crab was pretty normal (not their speciality) but priced reasonably. I will be back another day to give their steamboat a try. You know it is good when you see it on every table.

Plenty of pork ribs, lightly crisp on the outside and tender within, glazed in a glossy sweet-savoury sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds. The sauce clung to the meat and soaked beautifully into the rice. The portion was generous, enough to feel hearty without being overwhelming 》$6.80

Just look at those noodles. It’s dark, glossy and clearly kissed by the wok. The egg gravy was silky and rich, coating every strand with savoury goodness. Bits of pork, shrimp, fish cake and greens added texture and flavour but the real star was that well-fried hor fun with proper wok hei. It’s the kind of plate that smells amazing before you even dig in 》$5.80

This one’s a crowd favourite. Almost every table had it and it’s easy to see why. Chicken is tender inside with a crisp, golden crust that holds up nicely. Topped with a generous heap of fried garlic flakes that are fragrant, crunchy and bold. It’s got that addictive savoury edge that makes you keep reaching back for more. Pairs perfectly with claypot rice or just good on its own. Simple, punchy and satisfying 》$15.80 / Small

Packed with meaty fillings and crunchy bits of chestnut. I can't really taste the prawns in it but other than that it is decent and great when paired with the sweet dipping sauce 》$12

Crispy, buttery, and packed with flavour. Each bite delivers the perfect crunch with fragrant cereal clinging to succulent prawns. Lightly sweet, savoury and addictive 》$14.90

I'm in a relationship with food. Why can't we just declare our never ending love and vows towards some food item? I'm sure that would not result in divorces.
