The soup is great but the portion is a bit small, probably cater for 2-3 pax.

The fish is decent but thought it is a little salty cos of the starchy black bean sauce, would prefer if the sauce could be less starchy and less salty.

The prawn roll is quite disappointing, not crispy and not springy as I expected it to be, suggest to skip this.

Similarly, for the french bean and sweet and sour pork, not that fantastic, french bean is quite dry and not as flavourful, the sauce for the sweet and sour pork is also not on point, can taste abit of the pork gamey smell, can skip.

Marmite chicken is good, flavourful, crispy coating, can order this.

Cereal prawn is decent, but pretty small portion.

Fried rice is surprisingly not bad, we ordered 2 plates of it.

Note: The serving is pretty small, each plate like serves 2-3 pax only, hence, find it a little pricey for the portion. Would go elsewhere for better quality food.

Damage: $162.10 incl. svc charge & GST

It's made all-in-one pot with a chicken leg, fish maw, mushroom, sea coconut, red dates, and wolfberries. The soup was rich and slightly thickened with a distinct taste of Chinese herbs. The soup is also refillable so fret not and just indulge in it. We ordered this together with their pumpkin rice to go along with other dishes 》$29.80

The french bean looks dehydrated but it is still crunchy. It is not too oily and I feel the portion of minced meat could be more 》$12.80

Fresh and succulent prawns with fragrant and crunchy cereal. We couldn't help ourselves but to clean the cereal off the plate 》$17.80

Besides a variety of soup, you can also expect dim sum and tze char dishes including handmade crispy tofu, sweet and sour sliced fish, hotpot pandan chicken and more. I’ve ordered sea coconut chicken soup and brown rice to go along for lunch. It's made all in one-pot with huge chicken leg, wolfberries, red dates and snow fungus. The soup was rich, slightly thickened but not sticky. On a side track, I’ve also enjoyed the perfectly light and puffy brown rice. Soup was delivered promptly after order. However the waiting time for dim sum and tze char dishes are longer. .

The soup was delicious as usual, able to refill once.
Their Chinese cuisine portion was quite huge as well:)
Was surprised to find dim sum available during dinner timing in this restaurant too!

Will definitely return to try the rest of their dishes 👍🏻
