| Tasty Cold Noodle - Chilli Oil & Sichuan Pepper $6.80 |
 |
| Stirfried Pea Seedling $ (seasonal price) |
 |
| Steam Pork Slices with Preserved Vegetable $28.80 |
The best? The tasty cold noodle and the stirfried pea seedling are amongst our fav dishes.
The worst? We can never resist ordering some of our favourite dishes, but we do always try to order at least one new dish to try... While the steam pork dish was nice in flavour, we unfortunately found it to be far too rich and fatty for just two people to eat.
Service? Super attentive.
Decor? Chinese.
Noise? Low-range.
Value? Good!
Would we go back? No doubt!
