    Everyone loves crab, but at the same time, it’s frustrating getting the meat out from the hard shell. Swee Ang has decided to do the world a favour by eliminating that troublesome step. Introducing their signature Crab Ball - flesh of crabs compressed into a huge ball (like a fish ball) served in soup. Add this precious ball to the other dishes like pork tendons and different styles of fishes, and you will have a jolly good dining experience.

    Renowned for their silky-mooth kuey teow, Woon Kiang is a neighborhood favourite for Kuey Teow Kia (Kuey Chap). This dish of flat rice noodles in a light herbal sauce is served with pork offal.

An assortment of other side dishes are available if you’re not in the mood for offal; for instance, Braised Duck is also a popular pick.

    A long lived restaurant that has many loyal customers over the years, Restoran Pekin has been known for the delicious chinese cuisine that they serve. From the roast chicken, suckling pig, flavourful shrimp, fishes, yam basket, and ofcourse the Peking Duck; which is in the name. The restaurant's original building, though a little outdated in design and layout, was a nice and had posh look; on the other hand, recent expansions of up to 4 shop lots in the many years of service has definitely kept the restaurant's prestige and looks on par with the modern day.
