Do you fancy some quails? These cute-looking quails were almost just as big as a chicken drumlet, but it is the preparation that makes a difference. Prepared in a French method with a butter bath, these locally farmed sustainable quails were then marinated with Vietnamese five spices before grilling. This dish kinda reminds me of the Chinese roasted chicken with salt and pepper which is also served on the side with calamansi for an extra kick of flavour. Pretty bony without much meat as you might have already guessed. Served with a medley of fresh vegetables.

One of the Vietnamese specialties served was this lemongrass chicken in claypot, which was a close resemblance to the Chinese sesame chicken. Equally saucy that makes a good pairing dish with rice, although the lemongrass sauce marination was pretty mild. We heard from Chef Linh that this is one rare yet special dish that she would only have as a celebratory dish when she did well for exams as a kid. Same goes for my Vietnamese friend, this must really be of certain significance! The only downside was that the boniness since chopped wings were used.

Highly recommended by a colleague who used to stay in hougang.

Bang for the buck.

It was just overflowing with black pepper sauce, just when u thought u finish the side dishes, there is more hidden below the chicken chop sia.

And the entire hotplate base is onions, loads of onions.

Just feel super value for money.

There's garlic bread, got butter potato as well.

One of the better hawker western chicken chop I had.

Ordered haonianlalamifen, came with a generous 10 lala. Food was piping hot, enjoyed the ginger shreds that were cooked with the noodles. Quiet place to chill on a weekday night. Only accessible by car, parking might be an issue.

Have returned to this restaurant multiple times as the steak is good. Set meal comes with garlic bread, soup of the day, main, slice of butter/pound cake and a choice of coffee or tea. Decor is very old school, service is fantastic and fast. Raw oysters, lamb shank and oxtail stew are good too. Free parking in building.

Frequent customer since more than 10 years ago when they were at other locations. Nice fishballs and pepper is a good topping, but expect a queue during lunch time. Usually closes quite early, probably not open for dinners. $3.50/bowl. Shop also serves laksa and ba chor mee.

Was fresh and hot when it came. 10 clams per small portion, small ginger slices in mifen made it nicer. Place is quite inaccessible, unless you have a car. Very quiet on a weekday dinner.

$9.90 set - single scoop icecream with waffle and 1 drink
Love the minimalist interior, service and paintings on the walls. Great vibes!
