This dish needs no introduction. If you come it a group its a staple to order their steam fish. The regulars sometimes order the sweet and sour version. Can't wait to try it.

I think it's pronounced kee-yeah-ji gai in cantonese. Don't be fool by the plain and brown nondescript appearance. The sauce is so flavourful and soaked up by the brinjal slices. So good.

Ah I love this place and almost every dish. Be prepared to wait though because its a one man show. The wait can be 20min to even 1hr. Do as the auntie how long it would be.

We ordered the fishhead snapper steamboat. The soup is comforting and soothing. Couldn't stop drinking loads. Wished the portions of meatballs were more 3 of us had 1 each. The duck fritters is quite decent and flavourful, while the brinjal fritters were nice and crispy. In short, all the dishes we ordered were quite tasty. Would be making another visit to try the other dishes.
