The house volition hold upwardly thronged amongst constituent workers during dejeuner hours; non alone they offering Zhu Char dishes but uncomplicated in addition to uncomplicated dishes similar Fried Rice, Char Hor Fun are also available. The total harm for the dejeuner was Rm 210 for all dishes (excluding rice in addition to drinks) for the nine of us.
Steamed Kappa (Clams)/ 清蒸甲巴
Claypot Tofu/ 砂煲豆腐
Sour Plum Chicken/ 酸梅鸡
To spoon over rice, nosotros had their Claypot Tofu amongst thick but smoothen gravy; the dish has got zip spectacular in addition to the Tofu did non shine either. Sour Plum Chicken was a goodness improver to the variety- Deep Fried Chicken well-enveloped inwards a sugariness in addition to sour sauce; goodness to become amongst Rice but a tad greasy on its own. The Soy Sauce flora inwards Steamed Kappa may appear deceivingly uncomplicated but it has an avalanche of flavors- the key salinity, a sleek sweetness (possibly from Rock Sugar) in addition to a comfortable sum of sourness. It was refreshing but nosotros idea it was also playful, we'd prefer the traditional Soy Sauce or to become far the Thai-way inwards lieu of this fusion fashion which somehow overshadowed the natural seafood sweetness of the Clams.

Assam Prawns were zip out of the ordinary, though they possessed the quintessential flavors; the dish but did non contend to striking us but the Prawns were fresh nevertheless. If yous are cutting downwards on Rice, why non endeavor their Singapore Fried Bee Hoon? We idea their Singapore Fried Bee Hoon was good, carefully seasoned in addition to expertly cooked to the correct dot. The crunchy elements such equally Cabbage in addition to Onions added roughly other layer of juicy seize amongst teeth to the dish.
