Even before ordering, I was informed that the wait would be 20 mins. Darn...
So I ordered the $5 portion to make my wait worthwhile. Not realizing that the $5 bowl comes with abalone slices. I should have just asked for more noodles and normal ingredients (note to self).
The wait wasn't really 20mins so that's good. Let's get down to talking about the noodles...
Chilli sauce - very good! I dunno how to describe the goodness but it's good! The Chilli and vinegar combi rocks!
Ingredients - it's enough for the portion of noodles. Liver is not overcooked and the other pork slices are also tender. They also have these bits of grilled cuttlefish that really enhances the taste. Another taste enhancer was the bits of pork lard! Generous crispy bits tossed in that makes every mouthful a delight! Yumz!!!
Soup - one of the ways to steal my heart is a savory soup base and yes, theirs is really good too! So good that I went back for seconds.
Would I return? Oh Yah!!!

Was in the area and decided to pop in for a after-dinner thingie...
What struck me first was how beautifully put together (no pun intended) the cafe was designed and decorated. It is evident that the owners put a lot of themselves into this cafe! The theme of the cafe is simple and every small detail is aligned with the whole feel of the cafe. I can't explain well, you need to come and experience it for yourself. I was so moved by the cafe that I was inspired to (one day...far far later) own a cafe of my own and to have my own feel translated into the cafe.
Now to tell you a little more about the food. The desserts are actually quite good. Not sure if they make them on-site but it's good nevertheless. The drinks are no bad as well. All in all, a great place to just come and hang and talk and chill!

Came for lunch with friends and ordered:
Calamari - still the same, crispy but can do with more seasoning.
Portobello - this is a starter I shared with friends. Plump mushroom grilled to perfection. Delicious!!!
Squid Ink Pasta - not to be consumed on first dates!!! But since Im only out with friends, eat away!!!! Pretty tasty and ingredients were also fresh. Just wish there were more really...
An enjoyable meal nevertheless as they do make very decent pastas.

Decided to pop in here to check this place out.
Mushroom Soup - they made effort to add bits of mushroom and onions for that bite. Nice!
Garlic Bread - long focaccia slices of bread with herbs and garlic bits on top. Nicely grilled too.
Spag Chicken Bolognese - daughter had this and she likes it! I tried and it's good too! Not too tangy and there's minced chicken & carrot bits in it too.
Squid Ink Pasta - generous serving of pasta with ingredients. Served hot and taste is ok. Squid is too tough tho.
Service is prompt and polite. Water is also free and self-service! Definitely a plus point here!

I also go for their Baked Cheese Rice with Pork Chop with their Borsch Soup. I dunno if their Borsch Soup is authentic but I really don't care, I LOVE it!!! I can drink bowls and bowls of it. It's tangy and full of vege, it's just really really nice!
The baked rice itself is also quite good. The rice is essentially fried rice with egg and there is a nice taste on its own. Then they serve it with 2 slices of grilled pork chops and then baked it with a layer of cheese on top. I like the combination of the layers and it's easy on the stomach and wallet too.
