While I find many restaurants in the area a bit typical, I was pleasantly surprised by Eight Bungalows. The dumplings had excellent flavor, and the menu featured some delightful choices. I'm also a fan of fried rice, and I thought the prawn fried rice was particularly tasty. I’ll definitely be returning to Eight Bungalows."

The Special Fried Rice didn’t stand out at all, and the stir-fried noodles with mushrooms were also rather bland, with very few vegetables. To top it off, a young lady started mopping the floor while we were still halfway through our meal. The strong smell of cleaner or detergent made it difficult to enjoy our food, especially with someone mopping right beside us. Overall, this experience was extremely disappointing, especially after all the positive reviews I had read.
