As a result, it can be commonplace to find customers having to wait for almost 45 minutes before they’re even served the first morsel of food. Fortunately, the regulars here have since adjusted to this and even resort to making reservations at times.
As far as the food is concerned, the restaurant has a number of specialty dishes that will likely make an appearance at every single table at this restaurant. One of the dishes that’s been the centre of attraction for many regulars and newcomers of this establishment is the cheese prawn mee hoon.

There are also other dishes worth noting which include seafood items such as the Horlicks prawn balls, wasabi prawns, and different preparations of crabs like black pepper, salted egg, steamed, and curry. Pork and chicken dishes such as Vietnamese style pork belly, kampung chicken, deep fried honey pork, ginger chicken cubes, and much more.
