- arrived at 6.30pm and only 1 of 3 small tables available on level 1
- RM111 / S$34 for 2 pax - 3 dishes + 1 rice + 1 tea + 1 water

After dinner thoughts
- tofu dish was excellent which was soft inside and dried crispy outside, paired with seafood gravy
- prawn was fresh and goes well with side chilli
- chicken was steamed with finely shredded ginger, akin to strong ginger spiced confinement food but might be a tad bit oily for some
- will be back hopefully with more people to try other dishes like sharks find soup for RM30/S$10 Per bowl
