I dined hear together with my workmates and we had a good time.

Maria was welcoming and always helped us captured the good moments. Lawrence was very helpful, he helped us choose our food.

The main beef was tasty and tender, I wasn't able to get a photo. The lotus root with salted egg was surprisingly good to eat for most of us. Some of us got their first taste of juicy frog leg. I ate the Barramundi and it was tasty. The portion of some food can be shared and somehow different take on Singapore dishes so the price is higher than your usual.

A small token was given which includes flag erasers and plastic bubbles align with the store theme. They also gave us some iced dessert before we left. It was a good experience that brings back childhood memories.
