The casual restaurant is located at the second level of the mall. The place is decorated in peranakan traditional style with pottery around the walls. Although we are the first customers of the day, certain dishes such as the five spice roll is not available as still have not delivered from the central kitchen.At the counter, sauces and assorted kuehs are available for sale.Ayam Buah Keluak ($7.90)Chicken braised in thick tamarind gravy with buah keluak nuts.I feel that the gravy is too watered
Chicken braised in thick tamarind gravy with buah keluak nuts.
I feel that the gravy is too watered down. The chicken is tender and flavourful. Bakwan Kepeting ($6.90)
Minced pork and crabmeat meatballs with bamboo shoots in a clear soup.
I could not taste the crabmeat in the meatballs, although the meatballs are juicy. Quite plain looking. Nyonya Chap Chye ($6.50)
Stew mixed vegetables with prawns in a soy bean sauce.
I could not find any trace of the prawns in this dish although the vegetables is well braised. Hor Pow ($4.50)
Stuffed beancurd, served with chilli chukka
The stuffed beancurd tastes quite plain on its own but with the tangy sweet it adds a spark to the dish. Home-made Ang Cho Teh ($2.20) & Bandong with ChinChow ($2.80)
Refreshing and rich in taste. Gula Melaka Sago ($2.50)
I like that the gula melaka used here has been filtered off the impurities. It tastes smooth and rich except that the coconut milk is a bit lumpy. We also try 3 of the kuehs which costs $2. They are taste not bad except a bit too soft.
Overall the food is not bad. The service is a bit slow even when there is no other customer. The place is packed when it hits the lunch hour, especially with the older generation.
