       Chicken broth and Sichuan hot & sour soup base
    With a healthy selection of soup base (chicken broth [this tasted like the Maggie chicken favor instant noodle, which is a no go], Sichuan hot & sour soup [in my opinion, it was not bad, with just the correct sour-ness and spicy-ness] and the Mala soup), this shop is recommended by Fabian to us for dinner. For a price of just $21, you get to select from a menu of over 20 variety of food to go with your soup. I would be recommending their wontoon, meat ball, pig's liver and fishes (which is very big in quantity). For those prawn lovers, you can eat to your fill by ordering as much plates of prawns as possible but too bad for me, I didn't want to peel prawn that day, so I didn't eat it.

    For their drinks, it is not included in the packages and are considered additional charges. You can order by a glass which sets you back by around $2/$3, or alternatively you can ordered a jug for $6 which can typically fill around 4 glasses.

    Services and ambiance wise, I think that there are still rooms for improvement. There are only 3 people attending to the whole shop (which is not enough) and once orders start coming in, it can become quite chaotic. From my seat, I keep feeling tiny droplets of water falling on my skin throughout my dinner time in the shop, which I highly suspected came from the air-conditioning above my head. For the decoration of the shop, I think I do not need to speak further since there isn't any to talk about in the first place. However, overall, I find it quite an enjoyable experience.

         Alaskan Pollock and Rice
      After working so hard for the last semester, I thought it was time to give myself a little treat, at least eat something that is decent. From its menu, it was described that the fish is in high demand due to its "texture and taste". Sounds nice, at least they phrased it so. When my order arrived, I was initially quite shock at the generous serving of fish they give (the fish really really really looks gigantic). Initial contact with the fish was not bad: crispy hard exterior with a really soft and juicy interior, living up to the menu description. Thumbs up for it! Price wise was quite acceptable at only $11.90. The garlic rice that comes with it was not bad (you can ordered chips if you don't want to eat rice): soft and full of garlic favour. The only complaint that I can think of is that they are lacking in the department of smell. The whole meal was quite tasty, but they do not smell nice enough to get my appetite going and wanting for more.

      For the setup of the shop, I find that it was just a little too squeezy. I had to literally lift up my bag to my shoulder height to squeeze in and out of the place. I understand that they are trying to pack as many patron into the shop as possible, but I would appreciate it if more space is given to the customer to walk around.

        yap...the setup is small...so be careful when you talk...if you wonder why the couple in the next table is so quiet, it could be because they are listening in on your conversation. lol

         Original Chicken   Hot Hot Drum
      First of all, I would like to say that I had a very bad impression of this shop. As a customer, we would like that our orders be correct as specified by us. If the message is not conveyed to the cook, it is ok if an apology is given and promise us that the correct dish will be served promptly. I understand that sometimes, there is communication breakdown as the shop is relatively new and understaffed. But... you know what the person did?? She just show an irritated face and snatched away the food and walked off like that. What kind of service is this!! Argzz, thinking of it makes my blood boil!!

      Rate: 0/10 (service)


      Hot Hot Drum

      Now, coming to the food. I ordered the Hot Hot Drum as recommended on their menu. At $12.90, the chicken is quite hard, overcooked, and the sauce served is too salty for my liking. With the same price, I would rather spend my money on 2 2-piece chicken meal at the KFC. To think that KFC can cook their chicken much better than them. At least, KFC's chicken is tender and juicy and not dry and hard!

      Rate: 1/10 (for their effort in cooking)


      Original Chicken

      Now, coming to the Original Chicken, another highly recommended on their menu. As expected, the chicken is not juicy and tender, and the serving they give is way too small. Taking a comparison with KFC serving size, I would say that it's only about three-quarter. So to sum it all up, avoid the shop at all cost and instead, go KFC and enjoy some real chicken!!

           Beacon & Sausage Backed Rice
        Beacon & Sausage Baked Rice

        Generous with their serving of sausages and backed rice, definitely worth every cents of your money at just $9.80! The taste of the food is pretty average (what can you expect with just beacon, sausages, rice and cheese?), but with the quantity served at such a attractive price, it justify all cost. The service at this shop is also quite impressive. I remember asking for 2 glasses of water, instead, they provide me with a jug for 2 of us to share. I don't remember any shop giving us such a generous serving of water before anywhere in Singapore!

        For the ambience in the shop, I find that it is pretty cozy. Every table in the shop is lit by a candle, providing a romantic feeling in the air. However, if you want to have some quiet moments with your date, it is better to go there during the off-peak hours as the shop can get pretty noisy with all the evening crowds coming in for their meals.

        Overall, quite a satisfying experience.

             Chilli Crab   Stirred fry Scallop with Yam Paste
          As I and my gf are quite early when we reached the place, there are not many people around us at that point in time. We slowly go through the menu and I suggested the stir-fried scallop with yam paste (picture below) as it looks quite yummy and chilli crabs~ Chilli Crabs is a must since they offer a 50% discount on weekdays!!!! Where else to get that kind of offer??

          Soon, our food arrived. The stirred fried scallop is so tender and juicy that it certainly melt my heart. The yam paste was fried to just the correct extend that it is still very crispy on the outside and piping hot on the inside. *shiok* One point to take note that this food must be consume when its still hot, or else, it will not be nice anymore.

          Rate: 7.5/10

          Next up is the chilli crabs. All right, I admit that the freshness of the crab melts my heart again, but....but... the chilli paste spoils it all!! Its not spicy at all and the paste is just not right. I find it too starchy and flavourless and certainly don't feel satisfied eating the dish. I certainly don't recommend this dish at this restaurant again unless they change the person who is cooking it.

          Rate: 4/10 ( 1.0 for freshness)
