We ordered a set menu with some additional dishes.
Their dishes were all of great quality at reasonable prices! So far, no dish was a disappointment.
Their Prawn Herbal Soup was served with large juicy prawns! The herbal taste was nice, but the soup was a little saltish.
Their noodle dishes were all delicious! We especially loved the Lor Mee. Their signature Heng Hwa noodles were a little too dry for our liking - but still it was tasty nonetheless.
For a limited time only, they are serving "Jian Bao". It's really like a large, lightly fried version of the Xiao Long Bao, but dipped with a special sauce which made it really tasty!
Overall we had a great dining experience - great food at affordable prices. Thumbs up for the service and ambience too!

The concept of the rice rolls is pretty simple, pick a rice from 5 choices, and select 5 fillings from a wide (and pretty interesting) variety. Then you have the option to add a sauce. They even have a vegetarian section!

I tried the purple rice with cucumbers, mushrooms, seaweed, spicy radish and vegetarian floss as fillings. I wasn't asked if I wanted to add sauce and didn't realise I could until later.
The roll was served warm and is about palm-size. The purple rice tasted like brown rice, a nice nutty flavour. The cucumbers and floss gave the roll a nice crunch!

I also tried their breakfast item - Healthy Rice Porridge. The porridge was the sticky, gooey kind and was rather bland by itself. There was a strong ginger taste that I disliked. You can have 3 toppings for the porridge. I went with peanuts, long beans and mock duck meat. The toppings saved the porridge from being too bland.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend the porridge. If you're planning on having breakfast there, you can try their pre-made Snack Rolls or have the Rice Rolls instead. I love the concept of being given so much choice for the fillings - it allows you to make a really healthy dish if you choose wisely!

They were having a 10% off for the Rice Rolls - I spent S$4.00 for mine.
The porridge costs S$3.60.
Do note that some of their fillings have been labelled as 'Premium' and will cost you an additional S$0.30.

We went there for lunch. Ordered a set menu for four and some additional dim sum dishes.
Their fried dishes were really delicious! Especially the crisp-fried pumpkin rolls!
However, the dim sum dishes were a little disappointing, especially those with skin wrapping (e.g. Siew Mai and Dumplings).
We had one braised noodle dish too - love the broth and texture!
Overall, the dishes were quite tasty, with an interesting flavour (thanks to their special sauces) and had great standard considering the price. Service was excellent and the environment was clean and comfortable.

Spent about S$30++ per person.

Each main course comes with a bowl of the Soup of the Day, coleslaw, tomato & cucumber slice, and fries.
The soup was quite saltish and was served as the starter (it would be nice if there was garlic bread to offset the saltiness though). The coleslaw was OK, but the fries were saltish (again!) and soggy

We tried their Chicken Chop. The meat and flavour were alright, quite tasty, but the skin was saltish (!!).
The Chicken Cutlet was ROCK HARD. Avoid this one.
Their Grilled Fish was nicely seasoned, with soft flesh. The best dish out of these three.

Overall, the food was alright for the price (about S$5.50 - 6.50). The portion was normal. The dishes were served rather quickly!

Went there for dinner. The place was air-conditioned with quite a few tables. This place used to be packed but now there are only a few tables occupied, probably due to the increased competition and the higher prices.

We ordered the Yuan-Yang soup base. The chicken-base was normal but the Ma-La one was spicy and numbing!
Their selection of dishes was pretty standard. The meat (besides pork) were pretty lean but the shellfish were not fresh.
No Tang-O either
Their mango pudding made a pretty nice dessert though!

Overall the food was OK, but considering the price, the selection should have been better (and the quality too!!).
They served the non-meat dishes rather quickly, though the meat took quite a while (and it wasn't very crowded).

Be prepared to feel thirsty after this meal! (Saltish soup!)

Spent about S$26++ per person.
