A calmly decorated shop house filled with raw wooden furnitures and images of palm trees made us imagine we were parked by the back alley along a sandy beach. Yes... the place was filling up with people in casual weekend maxi dresses and linen shirts men decked in straw hats. A latino DJ mix fuses the playful chit-chatting into relaxing noise that instantly neutralized my work stress.
I sat at this corner table on a classic Acapulco Chair, watching happy patrons walking by holding rum cocktails and some breaking into salsa dancing. I simply loved the atmosphere and the comfy interior decoration of the place that housed a DJ Corner a small bar, dining tables of a proper height for meals, a corridor for salsa dancing and little corner tables for those who love to laze around like me.
The menu was filled with choices of appetizers, mouth watering tapas and premium steak for mains. I was adamant about trying out the tapas because of its hard to pronounce names and so we tried out the tapas and of course rum cocktails.
Accras bacalao, a cod fish beignet - is one of my favourites as its easy to eat and I love the bits of herbs and spices within this deep fried ball of fish and pastry.
Prawn Ceviches - boasted succulent medium sized prawns that were juicy and refreshing.
Sea Bass Ceviche - a creamy spoon of fresh sweet fish in creamy savoury sauce.
Churros with smooth chocolate dip - is my forever lover... I simply loved this combination and the churros was light and crispy while the chocolate dip smooth and well balanced sweet and bitter...
I can't help but look through the list of promos available and well to highlight to all my friends, the Happy Hour is of a super good deal of $5 - $9 for various decadent alcoholic drinks and my favourite night would be wednesdays where Ladies gets a free flow of Mojito.
To my salsa loving friends, do pop by on thursdays for wine, dine and SALSA.... :) Thinking about these made me excited and i'm sure to pop by more often... LOVING the mood, atmosphere and of course the super friendly and attentive staffs....

It was a last minute notification and friendly Zikir gladly agreed to help us even though he could barely make it on time due to other commitments yet he managed to arrive just in time to capture the first performances. He settled quickly as he arrived and went immediately to snapping the dancers.
Being experienced in photography and great skills, Zikir managed to compile an album of not only the dance performances but also great many pictures of the event venue and of course the happy crowd. Charming as he is, he managed to coax some into posing for him, leaving us great clear memories in pretty colours.
We received the professionally edited pictures just 2 days after the event with many that were above our expectations and we are very appreciative of his friendly, quick and professional services.
We look forward to work with him again as he is fast, friendly and reliable, most importantly, he takes great shots. Understanding that his forte is in bridal and outdoor shoots, I am convinced that he is as good at clubbing and nightspot party events.

This location used to be a sushi place with sushi belts and have since been covered up and redecorated with pretty chandeliers. The place is pretty nice but like every BBQ joints, be prepared to smell like burnt food and well the grease is simply everywhere.
It was almost empty as we were pretty late and its a sunday eve, so most people would have been nursing their monday blues by now and the restaurant was almost empty except a table of 4 near the raw food counter and we were shown a seat next to them... Service was mulish as they are preparing to close and food was running out at the buffet table. While we asked for a lettuce (I mean who to eat Korean BBQ without lettuce), it arrived like 15 mins later and was just dumped onto the buffet bar where the empty container lies. So we laterally got to fight with the other table for these vegs. Food was generally okay, chicken was well marinated and gained much of my delight, while theres nothing much left at the cooked food section, the korean rice cakes were pretty nice... except that i had nothing else.
There was a good spread of various meats, chicken, beef, pork collars and are pretty standard, while the veg section have got the standard straw-mushrooms and some other stuffs... rice was pretty well-cooked...
My overall experience is that its cheap and pretty nice if you are there to gorge yourself with all the Barbeque. Food quality is pretty average and freshness is pretty good. Service was not good and you do get signs like... NO WASTAGE!!! WE CHARGE YOU FOR EVERY 100Grams YOU WASTE... HERE WE HAVE A WEIGHING MACHINE at the buffet bar to REMIND YOU.... WE CHARGE YOU!!!
And theres this equally funny post that says... ICE CREAM here... 2nd CUP onwards is CHARGEABLE.... *hey am i having a buffet?* anyway.... i didn't waste no food and didn't even have any of the ice-creams.
Like I say.. its super value for money and food choice and freshness is pretty good... just gorge yourself silly and forget about service or any restaurant comfort level... Get Done and Get Moving and DON'T YOU GO FOR THAT SECOND CUP OF ICE-CREAM.....
*i was told.... NO PHOTO-TAKING, so i took what i can... leave it to your imaginative minds.. or at least pop by and gorge yourself silly*

We loved many dishes, especially the specially hand made rice dumplings that kinda reminded us of my grandmother. She used to make many of these ingredient stuffed dumplings and tied tightly with strips of rafia strings. This dumpling recipe was also passed down from one of the owner's grandma and well the ingredients were fresh and well loaded into each dumpling.
Besides the dumplings, be sure to try out other teochew fares like the teochew porridge with preserved vegs and other savoury sides, good for a light lunch, while not forgetting the super yummy yam cakes and bo bo cha cha for a sweet ending.
The place is nice, warm and welcoming, staffs are friendly and have plenty of seats. The food was as good as home made and well, reminded me of my childhood... Price was reasonable and they do catering as well, so if you need a slice of the teochew culture in your party, you know who to call for a deliciously healthy affair.

The Menu was hefty to digest as I spotted, raw meat salads, raw prawn salads and some dishes I can't even pronounce, good thing the staff could speak chinese and while we could order our comfort food such as Green Curry, Tom Yum, Mookata (Thai Steamboat), we didn't do so, hoping to try some of their close to home dining cultures.
We ordered a sticky rice which goes particularly well with the mango salad which I topped loads of crushed peanuts. The vinegar in the salad kinda soften the sticky rice, made the pair extremely easy to eat and must I say.. DELICIOUS and APPETIZING.
We also ordered the grilled pork which looked hard, dark and came with a special chilli/soya sauce sauce which enhanced the entire taste. I must admit it was hard to chew yet the longer you chew, the taste seemed to come out. It was an interesting dish.
The basil minced pork was good, not too spicy yet savoury and goes well with rice and lastly the grilled chicken was a little dry, but i suppose made perfectly well as almost everybody was having this chicken. I also love the sweet thai chilli sauce that came with the grill chicken, it somehow tasted different from the thai chilli bottle we purchased at home, i suspect vinegar was added to it...
The entire experience was pleasant, though we walked out smelling of food, yet the price is reasonable, portion good and plenty of seats. The place is not classy nor even clean as the building is rather old, yet we could see the stall owners put in effort to keep it as hygienic as possible. Nice experience and I kinda felt i was in thailand for a little while... Totally enjoyed and will return... plenty of other stuffs to try :)
