While waiting at the entrance, there is a big menu to choose from, all the different combos they have and at the same time there is a TV screening they way that you should "do" to your food when they arrive to ur table. Hee.... We were given our table number and order at the cashier while the waiter put the table number on our table.
So we ordered:
Combo Chicken and Steak with egg (Mine)
Combo Chicken and Lamd with egg
Chicken Pepper Rice with cheese
Curry Beef Pepper Rice
Mine came 1st so I can show what they can do with their food. All of them are quite excited of what they can do with their food. Haa.... Soon all of them arrived and they managed to cook their food before the heat dies off. Haa....
Adding the egg is quite interested as you can determine how you wanna ur egg to be like. Mine ended up scrambled egg. I like to add the Honey Brown sauce to my meat and the Garlic Soy sauce to my veges. Haa... The chicken is tender and juicy even though some of it are stuck to the hot plate, while the beef I managed to cook it to medium rare, which is also good.
One of my colleagues who had the lamb say that there is no "yang siao wei". The meat is very tender as well. Quite surprising as it seems that they did not do anything to the lamb at all. Haa....
Overall, my colleagues like the idea and their food. In fact they say they will come back to try some other dishes next time.
The service there is quite fast and good. From the cashier to the waitress who served us our food are prompt and polite.
One thing, I dun like is after the meal, tend to smell like the food. Haa... Well there is nothing they can do about this as well.
Total bill came up ot be $50, whihc is considered decent. Seem like we will be back to try other of their dishes sooner than expected.

There are a lot of mist fans in the place so dun worry about feeling hot in a place without air con. In fact, it is a good place to go in a lazy afternoon to read. Haa....
Went there after a movie at Cathay Orchard for a simple snack. Not really feeling in a mood for dinner.
We ordered Chicken Pie, Spicy Chicken Wings, Ice Tea and Strawberry Smoothie. Lastly Apple crumble for dessert.
Their chicken pie is good. It came with hot fillings and the pie is crispy. When eaten together, it is a good mix.
This is the first time I tried their spicy wings. The wings came in a pyrimid shape, stack on one another. Fried, crispy and not oily coated with a layer of their spicy sauce. This is good!
For their drinks, icea tea ok, but the strawberry smoothie tasted like cough mixture. Of cos my fav drink there is still morning dew tea. I also ordered a pot of mornng dew to pamper myself as well. One of my happy food.
Their apple crumble comes with huge chunks of apple, with a layer of crust and topped with a big scoop of ice cream. It is how I like my apple crumble to be. Hot with a cold mixture! Great!
Of cos their mudpie is also famous. Should give it a try. Personally I prefer the "other place" mudpie. Hee.....
The service is prompt and polite. We were seated when we reached the door. I dun like the original seat and requested another seat, the waitress immdefiatly jz bring me to the seat I requested for. No questions asked.
After ordering the food also came pretty fast. Except when they are processing my bill, it took some time, but it is fine with me. Haa...
Overall, I like the atmosphere of the place. It is like a calm spot in the middle of Orchard Road. My peace heaven.

The usual stuff for me will be the Ice Milk Tea, Puo Luo ban and some of their dim xin, toast and of cos the Mango Ice.
On average their food is quite good and usually came quite promptly. I loved their ice milk tea, they did it in a way I loved it, milkly with a scent of tea.
Their Puo luo bao is crispy with a thick slice of butter in it. Nice.
Their toast is think and nice. I like the normal one with honey and butter. Sinful but good. Haa....
Mango Ice Mountain, something like ice kachang but everything with mango, topped with a scoop of mango ice cream. Loved it as well. They use real mango chucks for it.
I have not tried for their baked rice and "instant noodles" but fromt he pics the crab porridge really looks good. Maybe shall give it a try soon.
Their service is good and prompt.
Their seating though, sometimes a bit squeezed. Especially for table of two, you can hear what the other table are toking about as well. Haa... Of cos they got couch seats whihc are pretty good for big groups as well.
All in all, it might not the be the best of all, but then like what I started, it is a good place for quick fix of Hong Kong food.

It is within walking distance from Yishun Mrt as well.
The place is sort of like a country club where there are a lot of things to do. Most often I will go and swim in their pool. They have a wading pool, an olympic size pool and a relaxing pool with jacuzzi in it. The main thing is the pool is not really that crowded during weekend. After swimming my laps, I always like to go and chill out in the relaxing pool. Haa.... I have to say that it is also a great place to sun tan as well. Their shower also come with hot and cold water. Haa.....
The place also have a adventure area where there is rock climbing, bloundering etc.
Of cos still got bowling, jackpot room, billard, etc.
Of cos they also have food where there is a different version of jack place (I think it is halal), and a chinese restaurant where they sure pretty decent food. That is for another review.
There is also a spa in it, and I m intending to try it soon.
To me, I can spend an whole afternoon there relaxing. It is a great place.

Once I walked into it, I jz have this feeling of warm and cosy. The uniform on the waiters and waiteress also looked very good. One main change, instead of the normal paper card they passed to customer in the past, now they use a plastic card and it works like a ez link card, wireless contact.
The place is quite small but they managed to seat a lot of people as well. The only bad thing is the toilet is outside the restaurant, so whenevr wanna to go to toilet can either pay ur card bill then go to toilet then come in with a new card or can leave ur identification and card at the door, then come back and contiune.
Now come the food, I have to say that in general the food is better than last time. They still have stalls offering differernt food. I think due to the fact that it is now not under frachise, but the main Marche HQ took over the management. So what food I have.....
1. Rosti. My fav. It is thick and crispy. It is a prefect match with sour cream. You can add smoked salmon or susages or stired fried mushroom, which I did.
2. Vegetables. In the past, used to be you can pile all the vege you wanna then they will cook it in front of you. Now different, buffet style. They cooked the food and put it in a big wok. So you can choose to have a small, middle or big plate, then you can pile as much as you want. There is 4 types of vege to choose from and all hot and tasty. I had mushroom and the german sour vege (Hee... Forgot the actual name alr)
3. Pork Knuckle. It is huge, crispy and juicy. I loved it as well. You jz have to eat it. At the same stall, they also got roasted chicken as well, Kenny Roger style.
4. Drinks. They sell a variety of drinks, juices, beer and acholic drinks. We got root beer and I got myself a apple cider which is good. Hee.....
5. Desserts. They got cakes, pudding, crepes and lots and lots of bread to choose from. In the end, we are attracted by the strawberry cake and starwberry cheesecake. Both were good, especially the strawberry cake with so many strawberry on top. It is also very cheap selling @ $4.80 per piece.
The service there is good and tentive. They also cleared the plates very fast as well.
I think I will go back very soon to taste the rest of the food that I did not tasted. The price is cheap as well, only about $25 per person.
