Service was attentive and thoughtful. Staff were very accommodating and fulfilled our request to change to another table (although only after a second request) even though they were very busy. Drinks were topped up promptly. But do take note that there is an interesting charge of $2.50 per head even if you do not drink tea, eat the peanuts or use the wet towels. Food was good but not spectacular.

Love the traditional variety type of Chinese food here. The roast duck and chicken were crispy and well done as usual. The cold combination dish was great too! The sliced garoupa fish dish turned out fresh and flavourful, the way I love it! My fave must be the braised tofu with tau kee as it was superbly done with broth that was not too starchy, just right and really tasty!

Standard of food dropped significantly from the first few times of our patronising before CB period; service was decent but the food does not justify the value of food paid for. Very disappointing. As requested by owner, purely on personal taste buds and opinion:- 1) 金龙鸡 (chicken with sotong paste): there was hardly any sotong paste it’s just deep fried skin with sauce. On previous occasions you could clearly see distinct paste filling. If it were for cost cutting measures, please do so without compromising the dish. 2) 菠菜(vegetable): the vegetables tasted tough to the teeth were slightly salty and did not appear as fragrant as before. Overall, was tougher to ingest and can be improved. 3) lobster with boiled rice: the lobster meat appeared dull and stuck to the shell and did not appear as fresh. The soup was slightly fishy to the taste buds. 4) hae chor: the fillings were less crunchy and not as well done, it was previously very well fried and crispy, but on this occasion it was barely so. 5) braised pork bun: the braised pork were tougher to the bite, but overall decent, save for the bigger portions of fatty meat.
