The cold pig trotter jelly is one of our many Teochew favourites. Full of collagen goodness and savoury jelly, it never fail to lift our appetite for more.

While the small upmarket restaurant has a lavish decor, I wouldn't say so for the service. The Captain only has recommendations for abalone, sharkfins, and 3-kg live lobsters. When I'm pushed with expensive dishes like a tourist, I get turned off.

We had another dish - Stir-fried Fish Toufu with Broccoli. Entire family found the fish toufu tasted weird and not too fresh but odd that nobody said anything. By the time I had my first bite, the dish was half gone after having gone a full round around the table. Only then did all chorused and voiced their thought.
.
Captain says its normal of the foul smell. You know, toufu gone sour that kind of smell? She took a spoon and ate from our plate. Took another spoon to ask the Chef to eat. I found it really amusing by then. And she later returned to insist this was freshly cooked and normal to taste sourish. She went on to apologise and removed ALL the fish toufu from our plate claiming that it didn't suit our appetite. She left behind the broccoli. .
We got charged in full for the dish at the end of the day and my FIL paid though I sensed that he was unhappy. While I wasn't certain if he wanted me to make noise, I was sure he would never return again.

Had my FIL been not around and my SIL was having her birthday meal, I'd have her waive that dish or send the samples to NEA. #seewhoisright

I would say this lady has the lousiest service and doesn't know how to handle customer complains.
