After thoughts
- $2 per bowl of hand-made tradition by a young chap

- gula melaka is less sweet / thick than power chendol at ABC's Jin Jin dessert stall
- would be back for more

After meal thought
- 45 min wait on Sunday at 11.30am, probably due to recent write up in social media
- no wings and burger only for the day
- beef patty was nice and juicy while fried chicken was week executed
- pricey for hawker but reasonable for quality
