Very good and unique food. Ask for the chef's recommendations and you won't be disappointed. Be warned that the air-conditioner is old so it might feel warm.

Very tasty Chinese food a.k.a. tai chow in this area. Prices are reasonably cheap. Their specialty is homemade tofu (choy heong tau foo) with minced meat, pumpkin tofu. Cheong poe chicken tastes better than korean fried chicken minus the sweetness. Guinness pork ribs or chicken is also another one of my favourites. There are many other delicious dishes which the lady who takes the order will recommend to me. Came here on a Monday evening at 5.10pm and restaurant was open. Food was served within 15 minutes of ordering. Restaurant is air conditioned, tables are limited and is very packed during weekends. Reservations are accepted. Closed every Tuesday.
