The menu is wide-ranging with good prices. I had the pork belly with rice and it came with sides of wombok cabbage and a fried egg, all for $12.50. Of course change of $2.50 ought to go into the tip jar for the wait staff. Next time, I want to try the roast duck and crispy pork belly on rice. This is a great alternative to other fast-food outlets nearby.

There are many options available (maybe too many) both for food and drink, with good value and quality. read more There are many options available (maybe too many) both for food and drink, with good value and quality.
