It’s another Western grill restaurant located @ an ulu ulu place. Strangely, the restaurant was located along ” Jalan Malu Malu”which is behind Sembawang Shopping Centre ( right at the far end ) which you would have walk for about 5 mins to get there.The restaurant is secluded & housed in a quiet environment.

Menu
They offer a range of starters but most of them are finger-foods ( deep-fried) which are popular with the crowd ( accompany with beer).
Different types of set lunch available as well which are reasonably priced @ around $12-$15.
I decided to try the restaurant’s speciality by choosing dishes from the ”Mangos Selections”.
Green salad
Some mixed veggies drizzled with light mayo, at least the mayo wasn’t too creamy.
*Poached salmon in rich fish broth, flash grilled with cajun dip ($23.90+)
*comes with mashed potatoes & the mixed salad
The salmon steak was overdone and the meat was tough. The cajun dip served alongside has a hint of spiciness & sort of a ”lemak” sauce . I felt that the salmon was not well-excueted and the sauce does not balance the salmon steak.
Apple pie ala mode with mango ice-cream ($6.90+)
I was given a choice to choose the ice-cream flavour. Auntie told me that their mango ice-cream is very popular and almost every diner would order it. I simply had to try it to believe her words.
The mango ice-cream has a mango-ey flavour and bits of mangoes in it, it was pretty decent. The apple pie, on the other-hand, failed miserably! I think they sourced the apple pie from some supplier . The apple pie had a thick and floury base, there were just a few small chunks of stewed apples and the rest were just flour.
Verdict: Ulu location , food is so-so, it depends whether you would like to give them a chance. Service is excellent ( thanks to auntie ). For me, I may have to reconsider.
