One of the most surprising dish for me is the ๐—ข๐˜†๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ข๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ ($๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฑ/๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฑ/๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฌ). This is nothing like the orh luak commonly found in hawker centres- the plump oysters are stewed in a savoury sauce and served on top of a golden omelette. This is soooo tasty and goes really well with rice - so glad we decided to try this!

Iโ€™m not a big fan of fish but the ๐—ง๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜ (๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ) is absolutely delicious. The broth is not too sour and the sweetness of the fish really comes through. Along with salted vegetables, tomatoes and shiitake mushroom, this is one comforting dish not to be missed.

The ๐—ง๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐——๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ธ ($๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฑ/๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฑ/๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฌ) is another star of the show - the braised duck is very soft and flavourful. A truly classic Teochew dish.

The ๐—–๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ็Œช่„šๅ†ป ($๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฑ/๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฑ/๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฌ) is amazing. This is light, tasty and refreshing and I love the bouncy texture - goes so well with the citrusy chilli sauce!

It a must order if you are first time here

The oysters are huge and the egg is tasty

Tasty but the sauce is little too thick
