Loved their Hakka Yong Tau Foo (SGD $15) rendition, which features 6 large pieces of ingredients, all stuffed with a filling of tender minced pork and soft fish paste. There's 2 spongy tofu bean curd puffs, 1 crisp yellow bell pepper, 2 wispy bean curd skin wraps, 1 crunchy bitter gourd, and 1 springy tofu bean curd. Immersed in a thick soy bean gravy, these carry grainy vegetal meaty sweet savoury salty earthy flavours. Very filling, great when paired with white rice.
.
The Steamed Whole Sea Bass Fish Hong Kong Style In Soy Sauce (SGD $32) features a fresh sea bass fish, medium in size (about 600g - 700g), with tender flaky fish meat. Dressed with crisp parsley, scallions, and red chili, which lend vegetal sweet spice flavour. The robust soy sauce gravy carries bold salty earthy savoury flavour, lifting the overall taste of the dish.
.
Loved the ample gravy in the Tropical Fruits Sweet & Sour Pork (SGD $18), which is thick and sour sweet in flavour. The chunks of tender chewy pork loin have meaty sweet sour savoury flavour, while the juicy fruits (lychee, pineapple, strawberry) lend fruity sweet flavour, and the crunchy cucumber lends a cooling vegetal sweet note.

Fluffy egg on rice which looks way too appetising with surprise pork bits beneath. A small bowl but honestly very worth it if you’re not a big eater and want to order more sides. While the egg was indeed fluffy and slightly runny, the entire bowl lacked flavour. But for the price and the free condiments they give at the side - chilli powder, mayonnaise, and even bean sprouts, you can easily solve the problem to make a whole new dish of your own!
