My first try at this popular shop is definitely very late. Fortunately I managed to try two broths the restaurant had to offer. I got the Xiao La for the Mala Tang, with some vegetables, mushrooms, pork and one maggi. It amounted to $9.6 and was served with a huge bowl of Mala Tang. The soup was very flavorful, not too spicy or numbing for me. The ingredients soaked up the soup well and went really well with the soup. I actually preferred the Pork bone soup surprisingly at it was more rich and creamy and flavorful. I slurped down the remaining soup that my family couldn’t finish, together with the pork which really absorbed the soup broth well. Would return for the pork bone soup next time.

I enjoyed this dish! The wanton skin was very soft and silky, not too thick, with a generous portion of prawn paste filling, having a good ratio of filling to skin. The wantons were soaked in the chili oil and vinegar giving it the spicy and savory flavour which was very fragrant.

The king prawns were huge and really fresh. Flesh of the prawn was plump and soft! I particularly enjoyed the buttermilk sauce with cornflakes which tasted like salted egg sauce! It was creamy, buttery, salty and super delicious!! The cornflakes also added a crunch despite being soaked in the sauce and was delicious.

The shape of the pancake was so cute! Anyway, the pastry skin was crispy and buttery, while the red bean paste was not too sweet and was generous! They even gave extra red bean paste beneath the ice cream! They served caramel ice cream together with the pancake, which was smooth and surprisingly didn’t melt very fast. Flavour of ice cream was not too strong but nicely and slowly gave the caramel flavour. It went really well the warm crispy pancake too!

Overall was good and soothing, chicken was flavourful, tender and soft, while soup was thick and had rich herbal flavour and smell. There were enoki mushrooms in the soup which was a good addition and complement when drinking the soup and the dumplings were also good, with a good ratio of meat to skin.

I enjoyed this dish a lot! The grilled fish was crispy and fresh, not fishy at all, was really soft and pulled apart easily! The soup was very rich, creamy, flavourful and nutritious, and tasted like premium and thick fish soup. It had many ingredients to go with it like tofu, white radish and bamboo shoots!

My favourite dish of the meal! I really enjoyed the overall flavour, noodles texture and the smell of the truffle wafting into my nose as I slurped the hor fun! The dish had both the normal kuay teow and deep fried crispy kuay teow, topped with 8 Wagyu beef slices and a half boiled egg. Then, you can pour the truffle sauce over the dish to let the noodles soak in the sauce! The truffle sauce was generous, and flavour and smell of the truffle was strong and good! The crispy kuay teow soaked some sauce giving it flavour while maintaining some crispy texture, which I really enjoyed. Beef slices were very soft and flavourful as well, and the egg was mixed in to give a thicker sauce texture.

Portion was huge!! Noodles were chewy and remained chewy throughout. The braised pork slices were thin and fatty hence melted in the mouth when eaten together with the noodles. The sauce was so savory and flavourful with the meat and some spices flavor. Really enjoyed this but recommended to share!

The sliced pork was pretty ordinary and portion was small for the price. Taste was nothing spectacular, just stir fried with some vegetables and soy sauce. Pork was not fatty and was soft and tender though. Worth a try but would rather go for the chicken here!!

Portion for la zi ji was huge! It was so crispy and freshly fried and there was a good ratio of meat to skin. The flavour was fragrant and spicy and super delicious! Good for sharing among a few people as portion is huge.

This was just nice for 2 small eaters! The noodles portion were huge and it was freshly made in store. The noodles were chewy and went well with the flavourful beef soup which was spicy and tasted like mala due to the mala paste that they added at the side. Beef slices were soft and tender and was quite worth for the price. The wantons were delicious too, with the salty sauce drizzled over the soft wantons. The spring onion pancake was very crispy and tasty and had strong spring onion flavour, and tasted very freshly made! It was a nice side dish to go with the noodles.

Portion was really big, but the chicken pieces were not many. The fried rice wasn’t very fragrant, was slightly tasteless but not too oily. The chicken pieces were also nice as the meat was tender. The sambal chili was also a good complement with the rice.
