The restaurants seems to serve simple meals among the most luxurious of meals you will find in a mall. Notably, the delicious Curry Mee is made nyonya style with roast pork and the Mee Suah explodes with both aroma and flavour as the wine heavily carries the aroma.

The restaurant is also a great place for having a light snack and tea with some friends and/or family.
