Signature Chicken Set - $28
·
Individual hotpot that set comes with array of option. The chicken set comes with 200g of chicken boneless drumsticks chunks as main, so fresh and tender. Set includes soup base, vegetable platter, free flow condiments & ice shaved dessert. Great place for small group gathering, can get quite loud during a full house

Finally tried their best selling ice cream flavour (salted butterscotch) one last time again before they closed down permanently + valrhona chocolate ($8) + waffles ($4) last time I have tried with my mum and sister after covid phase 2 where they r dine in. I think that salted butterscotch really so good, savoury and salty taste and taste remaines as same throughout the years. But valrhona chocolate just jelak for me tbh, milky, creamy and bitter taste and also thick texture and still complemented well with salted butterscotch. Waffles I think that they just overcooked (slightly hard to cut down) and got a bit of "char" edge 🥲. It turned soggy once ice cream melted it off towards the end.

Mushroom udon ($6.90)
⭐️ 4/5 ⭐️
🍴Comforting and healthy udon that’s not like any other with its chunky mushroom soup. Despite being vegan and allium-free, the soup was still enjoyably rich, flavourful, and earthy. Served with 2 chunky and juicy mock meatballs that were a mushroom-soy mix, broccoli, tomato, and mushrooms which left us sufficiently satisfied.

The Boneless Fired Chicken was damn good. Damn Crunchy.

Comes with a wide selection of sauces, but decided to go with their Signature Sambal, with spicy level 10,20,30 or Danger! Went for level 20 thinking I am being Conservative, I was so wrong.

The Sambal level 20 made my lips tremble, made my eyes teared, made me dripping in sweat the entire meal. I went home, and I feel my stomach still processing this sambal. Damn spicy.

So if wanna just wanna feel shiok, just go for level 10.

Comes with rice, yellow rice, indomie or salad.

went early for dinner before it got really crowded. you MUST drink or you won’t be allowed to dine👀 wld rec the Potato Salad ($6) and Oden Dashi Soup ($2) sides to go w ur drinks👍🏼

wld rec this!! warm & comforting, goes well w drinks. you can choose from plum/mentaiko/salmon

rice tasted like nothing and there’s def better unagi elsewhere…but the oden dashi soup it came with was SUPER NICE

4 slices of tuna, salmon & hamachi each.
bruh…sashimi was NOT fresh

deep fried oyster was vvv fishy and oily :(

The sorbet itself was really good, v strong and this the Parma ham goes well and it wasn't weird because frankly you don't taste that much of the ham, just a bit of saltiness

Not bad overall, very good execution, it could easily have been disgusting as a dessert but it's not at all
