Dishes are not too salty, very balanced and homely feel to it. The chicken rice is quite flavourful and not oily, not the typical kind you eat the coffee shops. Has a subtle flavour to it.
I kind of like the crab pasta, not too salty as well and you can really taste the flavour. If you like strong flavours then it might taste a bit bland but I feel it has a nice balance to it. The chap Chye was normal.
Atmosphere was nice and relaxed, cool place
My reaction to the first bites of every dish - not salty enough. But as I take more bites, the natural flavours of the ingredients slowly fill up the mouth. Great place
Succulent piece of pork chop that is perfectly crispy and tender throughout.
Also tried the flavourful chargrilled squid side dish that paired with a refreshing pomelo sauce!
Tried their recommended Hainanese-styled Wat Dan Hor aka hor fun. It has a solid wok hey taste with generous servings of tiger prawns, Hokkaido pork and fried squid.
Also must try their charcoal grilled squid which was nicely paired cold cut pomelo!
Pleasant ambience with outdoor seating so suitable for pawrents too!
Had dinner here and the food was superb. It's the local flavors that we're familiar with but done with a twist to really bring out each dish.
We had the Hainanese Pork Chop. It was huge and the cut they used was so juicy and tender. Definitely worth getting if you're looking for a hearty dinner!
We also got the Bao'd, Pork & Satay for sharing. Again, the pork was amazing and equally good. This dish was my favorite as it felt really well thought out. They satay sauce and pickles were balanced perfectly and compliments the pork well, without overpowering it. Highly recommend giving this a try.
Ended off with the Fried Ice Cream and Banana Cake for desserts and it was so unique! The banana cake was served warm with huge chunks of walnuts and the coconut ice cream matched it well.
Overall, the dinner was amazing and we could tell each dish was well thought out. All of the components for each dish matched perfectly and really brought out each other's flavors. It's always heartening to see local flavors being modernized well. We'll definitely be back!
My favourite was the crab carrot cake - fun combination of our traditional carrot cake with pork lards, crab meat, and fragrant chilli oil! Also had the Hainanese pork chop and spaghetti al granchio! The spaghetti al granchio was lovely but packed a punch in spice, so be careful if you are not too good with spice!
