Reviews of The Canteen by Enjoy
Situated at the head of Jalan Besar, also known locally as “Mang Ga Kar,” this spot occupies the once-glamorous Kam Leng Hotel, a landmark from the 70s.
The “Four Ong” vegetables were tasty and fragrant, though the portion size left something to be desired - you can actually count the pieces, and the price doesn’t quite match up, a little underwhelming.
The canteen rice is a simple combo of rice with a fried egg and a drizzle of pork lard, but again, the price feels a bit high for the dish.
As for the Hokkien Mee, the main reason I visited: I liked that the prawns were half-shelled for convenience, but the prawn broth fell short in flavour - it’s the wetter version and doesn’t pack the intense punch I hoped for. I shall benchmark a great broth against Chia Keng at Serangoon Gardens, which really nails it. That said, everyone has their own taste in Hokkien Mee.
The steamed garlic squid, unfortunately, didn’t make much of an impression, and brought down my overall rating, along with the pricing.
Lastly, the sambal chilli was lacking, so I’ll bring my own next time - as I do plan to give it another try.
$84.17nett for 2 pax with a can of coke.
The Canteen is certainly worth a visit. Their Hokkien mee is packed with flavor, with rich, savory gravy and perfectly cooked noodles. The prawn paste chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the satay is tender and smoky. Even the keropok is served warm! A truly unique spot with amazing local dishes. Highly recommend!
Ordered the following dishes and they were good!
1. Wok Hey Cabbage- must order
2. Crispy Squid - goes very well with the sauce provided
3. Hokkien Mee - the roast pork and pork lard was so good!
4. Curry Chicken- chicken is so tender
5. Tauhu Telur -
Would be back again to try the other dishes on the menu.
Parallel parking along the roadside but limited lots.
Strongly advised to make reservation in advance. Limited seatings.
After I placed the order, I heard the loud fire blasting the wok in the kitchen and the chef prepared the most delicious Hokkien Mee I’ve ever had. It is unfortunate that many before me did not experience this. Inconsistency perhaps but I probably got lucky. It has so much umami and mild wok hei that chili is not required. As usual I always have my Hokkien Mee 3 ways. Before lime, lime in, then lime & chili. So good without lime. Even better lime in. The sambal chili may be a bit overpowering as it is too savory and not tangy. The ingredient to noodles ratio is also crazy. So many chunky pork belly, squid, sprouts, greens, pork lard and 2 huge meaty fried prawns with body peeled. Chef took pride cooking this I’m sure. Ultimate shiok for me. Costly, but I’ll have this anytime over the other popular ones. This one is my number one. Thank you.
dropped by @canteenbyenjoy ‘s OG outlet this time at Balestier and the vibes there was casual yet inviting, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or family! we were so excited to order their pork jowl but! to! our! dismay! they removed it from their menu omg.....
ordered the White Pepper Crab ($38.80) and the crab was exceptionally fresh, tender and succulent. the sauce had a delightful balance of heat and aroma, enhancing the natural sweetness of the crab without overwhelming it. it came with 4 slices of mantous, which were perfect for mopping up the flavorful sauce. we didn’t know it came with mantous so we had 8 slices of mantous in total LOL.
their rice in their Seafood Fried Rice ($15.80 - S, $29.80 - L) was perfectly cooked, each grain separate and infused with a rich, smoky flavor from the wok. the dish was studded with fresh prawns, squid, and crab which added a lovely depth of flavor and texture to the dish. the seasoning, which they state that they used premium soy sauce for a dark caramel flavour, was spot on, making every bite a delightful mix of savory and umami flavors. it did get a bit salty towards the end tho!
their Hokkien Mee ($15.80 - S, $29.80 - L) never disappoints! rich, savory broth clung to each strand of noodle, infusing them with deep, complex flavors. the prawns, squid, and roast pork were generously portioned and added layers of flavor and texture. LOVEEEEE.
i will say that the quality of the food at The Canteen by Enjoy was a solid 8/10 but my only gripe is that the quantity seems to be getting smaller, and prices on the menu are getting higher. of course, inflation and whatnot but it would be nice if they were more generous with their portions!
#chefmainereviews
Best Thai Milk tea in my life! And I’ve been everywhere in Thailand to find the perfect Thai Tea! Other food is great too and the price reflects that. I love the decorations, the Asian 80s vibe so strong I can see the past flashes by :P. Totally recommend!
The Canteen by Enjoy is a good option if you’re looking for a comfortable, air-conditioned spot to enjoy classic hawker food. Even though the food was fairy average and cost more than you’d pay at a hawker stall, the convenience and enjoyable atmosphere might be worth it, especially considering Singapore’s heat.
Individual food reviews:
1. Hokkien Mee:
This was a wet-style stir-fry with prawns, squid, roast pork, and crispy pork lard. The separate sambal chilli added a significant flavor boost.
2. Seafood Fried Rice:
This dish had a strong wok-fried taste, with savory (umami) rice and generous portions of fresh seafood like prawns, squid, and even crab meat.
3. Sambal Stingray:
The stingray was perfectly fried with crispy edges and complemented well by a sweeter sambal chilli. The texture contrasted nicely between the crispy exterior and the tender flesh.
4. Har Jeong Kai:
This consisted of 6 pieces of prawn paste-marinated chicken wings that were tasty but i would have preferred them to be crispier.
Visited for dinner and we tried their chef recommendations. All dishes were tasty. My faves were the crispy sotong with the tangy house saffron mayo and surprisingly, I enjoyed the wok hei cabbage!
Would be nicer if the squid batter was more crispy but still i couldn’t stop eating it. The cabbage dish was cooked just nice and the sauce was good. Reminded me of chee cheong fun sauce, which I like a lot.

Food was pretty good but costly in comparison to usual prices at heartland stalls. It’s a good place to bring friends for a fun night though, especially if they’re new to Singapore food.
I have never had a bad dish here ever. Although I love the hawker hokkien mee, this place is a treat for anyone looking for beautifully cooked wok hei dishes.
They are a great example of simple dishes done well too, like the wok hei infused cabbage with fish sauce & the crab meat omelette.
The only thing that probably spooked me has to be the route to the restrooms especially at night as it is located at a boutique hotel so the decor does remind me of some horror movie set up 😆 with the pictures & low dim lights, but the food made up for it 💯 times & I will be back for more.
There are so much to explore at that area & the food scene is bumping so do check that out too
/Ambience:
Generally quiet which is always better.
/Price Point vs. Quality & Quantity:
Prawn Paste Chicken - Crispy, fragrant but lacking depth in terms of taste.
Chili Prawn and Mantou - Average. Mantous were great (crispy) though.
Stingray - Pretty good; packs heat and more sour than usual.
Crab Omelette - Good. Crispy and fragrant.
Hokkien Prawn Mee - Aesthetically pleasing but unfortunately it was lacking in taste once again; it fact it had the least depth in taste out of the 5 dishes we ordered which is unfortunate considering it is a signature dish.
Serving size - Average
Total Price: ~S$120
/Space:
Enough to accommodate 6-8 groups of 4.
/Service:
Average.
/Xtra:
We went on a Saturday during lunch and there was no queue.
*Verdict
3/5 at best - Not worth a revisit.
Second time back, and it was a better experience with different dishes. Really enjoyed the Crispy Fish with Chef Joel’s red curry sauce, Chef Joel’s Mee Kia, Grandma’s Te Kah Bee Hoon and the Ugly Cabbage in Fish sauce. Each dish was bursting with flavours, with each component coming together really well.
First time visiting this place. Crispy sotong, naibai eggs, seafood fried rice and nyohiang, overall good taste and good service. Will come back again.
Visited this place for lunch and overall the food was delicious. In short, they serve evelated local dishes but price was on the higher side.
Location wise, it was located inside Kam Leng Hotel, which surrounding ambience wasn't that great. Inside the shop itself, the space was small with a retro theme decoration.
Cleaniness and hygine raised a question as a cup of drink was served to us with a lipstick mark left by previous customer on the cup... The drink was then replaced by the staff.
Service was ok. Kudos to the male staff who was more attentive than the rest.
The prices are defintely on the higher side and they dont do larger plate for sharing if you are here with a bigger group. So you will have to make mulitple orders for the same dish. The following were my food ordered:
1. Hainanese Chicken Satay $11: Can try. Comes with 5 sticks per plate.
2. Singapore Style Chili Prawns $28: Can try. This dish is like Chili crab we all love to have but the crab was replaced with 5 tiger prawns.
3. Fried Mantou 4pcs $4.80: If you ordered the Chili Prawns, this is a must order.
4. XO White Fish Soup $12: Must order. This is an individual portion and they dont serve a bigger pot for sharing. You can order 1 bowl for 2 to share. A nice fish soup hardly comes by and this is one of the better one I had before.
5. BBQ Pork Cheek $20: Can try. Its like the japanese pork jowl slices, served with acar, peanuts and their special sauce
6. Sauteed Aspragus and Mushroom with Truffle Oil $22: Can do without.
7. Grandma Te Kah Bee Hoon (Large) $38: Must order. I think this also one of the better ones which I came across before.
8. White rice $1.80: Hmm $1.80 for white rice?
Hokkien mee has 古早味 better together with the sambal. Their sambal is bomb, superb with the keropok. Would recommend the satay, chili prawn with mantou, cabbage and thai milk tea. Stingray was a bit dry and fried hor fun taste so-so after it becomes soggy. Recommend eating the hor fun immediately.
Quite a small space but food was tasty!! Loved the Hokkien mee flavour, wok hei was definitely there and would order again next time. Chilli prawns w mantou’s sauce was a bit too watery but flavour leaned more towards tomato-ey~ mantous were great tho- loved the slight sweetness to it. It’s texture was also just the right amount of crispiness to it; we reordered again to scoop up more sauce 🤤
Ordered delivery a few times! Food was consistently good except once. The chilli prawn dish was a little diluted and lacking in flavour. These pics were taken when I visited the shop sometime back. The pork cheeks has been my fav dish but the star of the night was the fried fish with red curry. You can ignore the Hakka steamed tofu.
Pretty pricey
2 small pcs of braised tau kwa = $3.80
Food was quite tasty though
Pork was v tender
Satay was prob my fam's fav!
Menu was quite small ; I think we ordered 80% of it. 😅
Cabbage was pricey but delicious. Hokkien mee was the 'wet-type' with lots of the delicious broth. The prawns, squid and pork were sizeable. However the large prawns although sweet were overcooked and almost mushy. The pork lard pieces were not crispy and chewy in fact. Braised pork had the strong aromas of the 'nu er hong' at first bite and soon subsided. The overall ball was good nonetheless. Rice could be slightly more al dente or more bite to it. Toppings were great as well such as the Tau kwa which was smooth, right firmness, fresh and absorbed the braising. The overall bowl would be much better hot as well.
Chrysanthemum luo han drink was good. Tasted freshly brewed but again would be better hot. It was served just room temp although ordered 'warm'. Thai milk tea was not that special.
After so much hypes from internet, finally went there to try out their signature dishes!
Overall: 4 stars! I like it.
Ambience: 2 stars. They try to be retro but seriously, not there yet. But hey, surely one doesn’t go there for the ambience!
Food: 4 stars! We ordered their signature pork trotter bee hoon, XO white fish soup, nyonya curry chicken & ugly cabbage.
TBH, other than ugly cabbage which is quite normal - u can cooked it on ur own, the rest are quite good. I love the XO white fish soup ~ everything is just nice. Pig trotter is very tender but the taste is a bit bland. Nyonya curry chicken is a surprise. I didn’t expect it to taste so rich, not santan rich but the flavour & texture of every ingredients.
I’ll definitely come back for other dishes!
Overall the food were good. The bill came up to be >$230 for 5 adults. Excluding the fish which was really worth the price, the other dishes were quite $$.
Food is on the saltier side. I like the fish, prawns w mantou, fish maw soup, and century egg toufu (cold dish). Maybe I had ordered all the salty dishes 😅
It was a good experience. Small place, good quality. I don’t think I will crave for it to go back a second time, maybe to try other dishes..
Tried this place for the first time due to a social media feature. Overall, the food was ok. But the price tag was hefty for the portion and quality. Fried rice was a bit tad too salty.
$15.80 for a small size prawn noodle
$12 for a plate of cabbage
Service was normal, nothing exceptional. The atmosphere was alright.
I think one can find nearby zhichar shops with the same dishes with wok hey at half the price.
Most likely, this will be my first and last time trying.
Had a a great farewell lunch for our intern there! The twist on local fare is simple but brilliant. Elevating the local food to a new level. Overall the decor theme is retro ( also a good way to use the tried and tested interior style) the food was the main thing that carried the lunch for us. The ambient is about my choice and the nearby toilet is creepy.
Nostalgic dining environment and food is excellent. Freshly fried keropok is crispy and tasted great with the chili paste. Deep fried har chiong chicken is well marinated and tender in the inside. Deep fried sotong is quite special, fluffy on the outside and juicy in the inside, tasted fresh and good. Must try the pig legs bee hoon too.
📢 Big Xia HKM ($15.90++) Luscious wet slippery hokkien mee generously loaded w large fresh prawns roasted Kurabuta pork belly and squid. Each portion is cooked upon order over high heat in a Cantonese style wok infusing the wok smoke flavour w the noodles The big prawns were fresh and indeed had a lotta meat in it Served with their signature in house Sambal
Jumbo Chicken Satay ($9.90++) was jumbo indeed. Each stick had chunky meats that were charred to perfection Served w peanut sauce.
Don't let the pale colours of the veggies fool u Crunchy flavourful goodness w each bite of Wok Hei Cabbage in Fish Sauce ($11.90++)
Grilled Banana Leaf Sambal Stingray ($16.80++) Succulent stingray drenched in their in house Sambal is WOW!
Tbh there is nothing much to rave about their beverages.
A rather tiny place with limited seating but big on taste 🥳
Was there for dinner last night as a friend went before and recommended it.
Had some confusion over the orders because the physical menu and the onlineemu seems different. It's kinda hard to read from the physical menu also because of the layout and the lack of images to showcase the dishes.
Ordered about 5 dishes to share and have to say we liked the food a lot. Was told initially that the flavours of the food would be strong and true enough it was but we all enjoyed it. For me my most favourite dish had to be the hainanese chicken satay, the meat was so tender and dish was well executed. The ugly vegetables looked so ordinary but tasted so good.
Bill for 4 came up to be slightly more than 100+ but we thought it was quite reasonable. Similar to the price of a restaurant and all of us were quite full.
Definitely will head back again cause there are other dishes I would like to try!
Mai hiam buay pai. I love their man tou, Hokkien mee slightly above average for me but lots of ingredients which justify their price. Pork cheek also not bad. Second time patronised this restaurant because we wanna try their Hokkien mee. I will not return again for their Hokkien mee but other dishes, why not?
If you ever looked at the seafood fried rice you ordered at a tze char and wondered why can't it come with crab meat, scallops, sotong and crowned with large prawns. Well, that's the rendition at Enjoy eating house. They have some childhood dishes like pig trotter beehoon and also other dishes with a more indulgent take to otherwise tzechar style dishes. They also have the cold tofu with sesame dressing and century egg topped with tobiko. They do serve wines and other alcoholic drinks. Corkage is 20/bttl.
The star dish Hokkien mee turn out to be alright and lack the prawn broth flavor. The braised pork beehoon is much better and flavorful. The side dishes are good, for the pork cheeks and cabbage. Rest are pretty alright. Price is little expensive on the high end.
The ambience is good.
However, price is on the high side.
We had ordered chili prawn w mantou, satay, fried horfun and homemade almond paste.
Personally favored on fried horfun and mantou with the chili sauce.
Prawn got a bit watery smell, but the texture was fresh though.
Worth for a try!
Highly recommended!
Great food as usual. New prawn noodles concept is very interesting. Prawns are huge, but I still miss the signature dishes from the previous menu… Ngoh hiang, prawn cakes, and stingray was delightful too.
The quality of the food is good. Freshness of the fish preserved by the way it is cooked. Curry chicken is flavourful and not too spicy. The large fried rice is good for five people .
The chilli has got a kick. Prawn mee is good as well, goes well with the chilli.
Ambience is quite retro. Well hidden inside an unassuming building.
Can try the har cheong chicken rice bowl as well. Came with a flavourful sauce.
The fried cabbage is one of my favorites.
Dishes are good but the prices are rather steep (HKM is $30 for large portion). Cannot sit inside the premise until 12pm sharp and it was so hot outside, so discount on the service aspect.
First time here.. Been passing by this restaurant many times and noted the crowd. The staple food is full with seafood and the portion is just nice for 1 person. I have a shocked when their food quality and taste is so good, even the price is on the pricier side, you really get to enjoy the food so well. We emptied all our plates 😋
Very good adaptations of traditional Chinese food. Their crispy hor fun is superb! This place has an old school deco with lots of memorabilia. Nice to place to browse around and enjoy the very good dishes.
Good quality of food. We enjoyed our dinner. Love the fish soup, the stirred fried vegetables (great wok hei, juicy and crunchy!)
Worth wait 30 mins for salt baked. Barramundi!
Was quite disappointed at the quality of the food for the price, and waiting time for food was ridiculously long, it’s a small stall which have like 5-6 tables and we had to wait over an hour, the pork dish was quite bad and the other dishes were slightly above average, and it was extremely pricey
Good standard is great, price is a little bit on the “pricey” side for the Hokkien mee. Overall very good.
Food here is really good and has great wok hei. Place is not big so I recommend making reservation. Came on Sunday evening and it's packed with family. Must order - hainanese chicken satay n dirty cabbage. The new item black pepper beef with foie gras was delicious too.
Really good zhnged-up tze char dishes! Food takes a little while, but the dishes were all worth the wait! The must-order is definitely the awesome silky hor fun and mee kia. Been there 4 times and still make plans to return after every single trip!
Enjoy has nothing to do with old french (word origins) buy all about food that you'll really enjoy! Better 'chope' (Singlish for reserve) then read the reviews. Cozy place with lots of nostalgia displays yet slight modern feel. Friendly staff and great food! Start with their Grandma's "Te Kah" Bee Hoon, you'll pardon yourself for being sinful as the 'wok hei' (wok fired) stock soaked bee hoon coupled with the home-made tender meat and melty fats pork leg, you'll go 'Mmmmm'! Get 'drunk' with their Chef Joel's Brandy White Fish Soup that so savoury you'll forgive the slightly toughened slice fish. Thou shalt not skip the Singapore Style Chilli Prawn and get the fried 'Mantou' (buns) to soak up that chilli crab sauce; you'll appreciate that the prawns shells are peeled. As mum always says, 'Eat your veges' ... go ugly ... the Ugly Cabbage in Fish Sauce clears out some of the heavy taste earlier with this slightly charred veg sprinkled with fried garlic after the fish sauce envelops them. Down some lemongrass tea to clear some those oils and ready yourself for the revelation of the Teochew "Orh Ni" (Yam Paste) with good serving portion without making you feeling overwhelm. The above combination is good for 2 hungry hippos or a leisurely 4 member team. Take your pick and come back again as you can enjoy over and over again. Oh ya, they accept Fave Pay! Get your rebates too! ENJOY!
Local delights with a twist, definitely worth coming back, prices are very reasonable. Worthy of a mention is the Chilli "Crab" prawn version, order the mantou to soak up all the chilli gravvy, yummilious
The hokkien mee is pretty good with the chilli. The rest of the dish is decent as well. Abit disappointed with the ngo hiang as it is soggy.
I would give 3.5 stars. The food is quite tasty. I ordered their signature pork trotter bee hoon and the brandy fish soup. The pork was well braised. Very flavorful and tender. The meat and fats ratio was good, biting into the fatty portion without feeling too cloying. Strong wok hei with the noodles, the rice vermicelli soaked up all the gravy goodness. Overall I am very satisfied with this dish. The fish soup I felt it was pretty normal. Not too much of the woah factor unlike the noodles. A decent bowl of fish soup with fresh ingredients.
The only issue I had was the portion size. For the price, the serving portion is actually quite small. They do have a very interesting menu, Will I come back again? Maybe, but will definately consider the cost factor. But if I do, I'll definately try out their other dishes like the ugly Cabbage, pork cheeks and prawn paste chicken.
The prawn paste chix bites don't have the ummmp flavor... should also be crispier.
The crispy hor fun should have more noodles.
Food is creative, unique and tastes good. Seating a little uncomfortable, pricing on the steep side. Sort of a hidden restaurant which was interesting.
Due to covid, managed to get a seat easily.
Called to reserved tho.. worried might be crowded.
Nice food, prices abit steep for certain dishes.
Waiting time average. As we are the 2nd table of the night. Went at 7pm. Only for vaccinated customers for now.
Good local food with the nostalgic feel but it would have been perfect if the chendol was there.
Really enjoyed my meal here. The Te Kah Bee Hoon and and cabbage dish was particularly tasty. Also appreciate the staff being patient with us even though we overstayed a little. Thanks for the hospitality and food! Looking forward to trying more things from the menu on a revisit.
V quaint and nostalgic place for lunch. The HKM, curry prawn with man tou and ngo hiang is highly recommended.
We had the chili prawn with mantou, steam fish with lime and chili and their special pork cheek and we loved the dishes! The atmosphere of the place is quite lively with friendly staffs as well. We will go back to try other dishes as well!
Good fix of chinese food. Loved the chilli prawns, remember to have it with the mantou. The place is kinda small so remember to book before coming. Seating space is limited.
The Hokkien Mee and Braised pork rice bowl were amazingly delicious and my family liked it so much. The ingredients are fresh and excellent. All eaten up. Cheers, Alson & family
Super nice and tasty food. Love their pork knuckle bee hoon. Their satay was really tasty too! Will be back for more.
Food is good
Abit salty for some dishes

There's a slight remix from traditional dishes like prawn paste sotong and crispy Hor fun, but, it doesn't taste better than the original and overall it's overpriced.
Ter Ka Mee Sua and Chef Joel's Red Curry sauce fish fillet are the must to order!!!!!! ⭐⭐⭐
Home made, hearty Chinese food cooked with their own unique twists. The fish maw soup especially was very yummy. Highly recommended for a late night meal around the Jalan Besar area as they open until midnight!
The food here is better than the outlet at Stevens Road but equally expensive.
Like its name suggests, it was an enjoyable experience dining here. We particularly enjoyed the nonya curry that was served with baguette. Lovely atmosphere.
Excellent
Located in a nostalgic hotel, this restaurant surprised me with really good quality of food. Lovely cold tofu, and the prawn salad is fresh and nice. The chilli prawn goes super well with fried bread. Definitely come back again.
Amazing ambience and loved the wanton mee! Will be back again!
Today we went to taste delicious food in the Jalan Besar area. The shop is not small, not big, but the shop is decorated cutely. We went before the restaurant opened at 11 am. The restaurant opened at noon so we were first in line. Today we ordered 3 dishes: Big Xia Hokkien Mee, small size, $15.80. We got medium to small shrimp, but the shrimp were fragrant, like they were slightly grilled, fresh shrimp, shrimp fat. Fragrant, soft noodles, crunchy squid, moderately soft, easy to bite, not sticky, good taste, mellow, not too sour, beautifully arranged dish, photo enthusiasts like us like it 😉 Next dish, I recommend this dish: Singapore Style Chilli Prawns with Crispy Mantou $25.80 I don't remember. How many shrimp did you get? But it's just enough for 2 people. The shrimp are fresh, bouncy to the teeth, the sauce is just the right amount of stickiness, not viscous. The taste is mellow, just the right amount of spiciness, sweet on the tip of the tongue, lots of eggs. The more you dip the mantou in, it's very delicious. The mantou at the restaurant Crispy outside, soft inside and smells very good on the nose It was so delicious that I wanted to buy mantou to take home to eat. The last dish was Crab Meat Omelette $13.80. There wasn't much crab meat. But there was crab meat all over the plate. The omelet is not oily, not salty. The water we ordered was Cole Zero $2.50. It came in a cute glass, cool, fizzy, worth the price. The staff provided good service and the food was fast. Try stopping by to eat. There is a Public Car Park behind.
It's a local restaurant with a cute atmosphere. The day I went was a weekday, in the late afternoon, and there weren't many people around. The printed menu has only a few things. You have to scan a QR code to enter the website to see the full menu. But I'm not sure why every machine from Thailand scans and cannot access the store's website at all. The food here tastes quite good. The pork satay was very tender and unique. The lod chong part is so sweet that you can't eat it. Not recommended for people who rarely eat sweets. There are 2 draft beers, one is Asahi Lager and the other is Potter Beer. The food prices are a little high but it's worth it.

ENJOY started in 2018 as a small eating house in JlnBesar founded by two childhood friends, James and Joel. This place is famous for their local Zi Char/ Singapore local dishes and the food did not disappoint. With the retro style, the restaurant has got a very nice ambience.
⚠️However, please note that the dining period is only set for 1.5 hours. And in this experience, we had a party of 6 and the staff was trying to rush us to leave when the dishes we ordered had not even arrived.. that arrangement was a bit shocking.

It's so delicious
The set menu for 2 people is 88 dal and it is well prepared, the portions are generous and even includes dessert,,,,,,
I went there after watching YouTube and it was worth it.

I came to a very retro-style restaurant with my friends. The food was very delicious. I highly recommend >>> "Crab Crab Your Love-White Pepper Crab Meat" "Still Rice Texi-Seafood Fried Rice" Noodles from Singapore-Fujian Fried shrimp noodles”<<<<Absolutely must order!
The sambal chili is very spicy and delicious, and the lard residue is delicious. If you like it, you must try it!
It's a unique restaurant with thoughtful decoration and delicious food. It's a great place for gatherings.
So delicious!
Super delicious
