It was located under an apartment block. From outside, one would think this place as another drinking place in the neighbourhood with dark tinted glass. Inside besides the bar, there was wifi available, dart machines, pool table and telecasted soccer match on the screen. But the bigger surprise turned out to be the menu, which had quite a wide variety of dishes from western to chinese zi char dishes. For every order of main course during lunch, one will get a choice of soup and a choice of drink

For every order of main course during lunch, one will get a choice of soup and a choice of drink (soft drink/ coffee/ tea) with a $5 topup.
For CarlsBerg Beer, it was having a promotion currently at $60.00/ tower, and $25.00/ jug.
Crispy Prawn Twister 腐皮炸大虾 ($12.80)
Served with celery and carrot sticks with tartar sauce
This was one of our table's hot favourite with chunky prawns encased inside the thin crispy filo pastry crust.
Fish & Fries 炸鱼薯条 ($15.80)
Golden fried fish fillet served with classic tartar sauce, coleslaw and crispy fries
This was one of the most popular dishes in the bistro. Nice golden brown crust, but the fish inside was a bit too mushy for me. Maybe we had taken a bit too long before starting on this dish.
Aglio Olio with 3 types of mushroom 三菇意大利面 ($16.80)
Garlic aplenty cooked in white wine and extra virgin olive oil together with fresh button mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms
It was cooked with chilli padi which I felt had overwhelmed the dish. The white wine taste was distinct but not for the garlic. Personally I would prefer a garlicky and buttery version.
Lamb Rack 羊肉架 ($23.80)
3 bone premium lamb rack cooked together with garlic and lemongrass presented with green salad and stirred-fried potato; complemented with red wine brown sauce
The lamb was tender and one was able to chew it easily. Some may felt that it tasted a bit gamey but its just nice for me.
Crispy Egg Seafood Noodles 生面 ($10.80)
The noodles was nicely crisp, topped with lots of liao on top.
Sweet and Sour Pork with Sunny Side up and Fragrant Rice 古老肉饭 ($8.00)
Another zi char dish which was quite popular with the customers. The meat was juicy sweet and tender.
German Pork Knuckle 德国猪蹄 ($55.80)
Pre-order only
"Chef Specialty" presented with garden green salad, homemade mash potato and thai chilli sauce
The skin was nicely crisp without too hard and the meat went quite well with the dip. One would wish that the mash was not hidden under the pile of meat.
Roast Beef 烤牛肉 ($88.00)
Pre-order only
600gms Roast beef cooked to order. Presented with garden green salad and oven baked potato complemented with black pepper brown sauce
Ribeye was used here and cooked to nice pink in colour. Although the meat was tender, certain parts needed the jaws to work a bit more. The green salad which was served with a creamy dressing was quite nice and the fish roes in it gave a burst in texture.
