Owner Joseph is bringing his family business into the future with a pretty sweet new logo and contemporary rebranding along with an active social media presence, yet still retaining time-honoured recipes that more than prove their worth in the quality of his food.

The roast chicken is supple and full of flavour from the umami-rich soya sauce, whilst elsewhere the other crucial component is equally good; each grain of rice is fairly glistening from chicken fat and bursting with aromatics. The rice is now served the traditional way in a bowl as they believe it makes for more flavourful eating.

I topped up with a braised egg and a helping of crispy-skinned roast pork and my whole meal came up to only $5.60!
