A cosy place to have dinner with family. The owners are very friendly and really provide excellent service to make us feel at home. The food is very tasty and nice too. Will recommend this place to those who wish to enjoy a cosy time with family and friends. View all feedback.
If you want some authentic hainanese style western food, this humble family eatery should definitely be on your list. I have been here many times and it's still my family's favorite place for the amazing food, service and the price. While they are famous for their Ox Tail, which is my dad's favorite dish and he ordered anyway, I ordered one of their newer item on the menu, the Rosemary Lamb Shank. I can't fully stress how soft and tender the meat is; I simply just need a fork for the meal. It's just so juicy and the marination speaks length for the arduous preparation process. One of the things I really like about this place is the hospitality. Even before you start ordering your food, you will be warmly greeted by the staff and ushered to your seat. You will also be immediately attracted to the surroundings filled with stuffs of the previous century. Lastly you will be extremely pleased to hear that they DO NOT charge extra GST and Service charges. If you are in Joo Chiat area, you should definitely try this place.
Visited this lovely diner on Friday with my family. A perfect venue to enjoy good food and a walk down memory lane with their very unique setting. From gramophones to old school decor, ideal for a little show and tell. Great fun for different generations. Food was superb, highly recommend everyone to try their beef stew and hainanese pork chop. We had a good chat with the owner, probably one of the most down-to-earth person I have ever met. A feast both for your eyes and taste buds, it’s a MUST HAVE!
The folks there. pork ribs. fries. french onion soup w the garlic bread. clam in white wine. We also had the rosemary chicken, portabello mushroom w cheese n bacon, apple crumble w ice-cream, lemongrass drink, beer x 3, hainanese porkchop. Haha think the staff were shocked by the amt we ate! :p will be back!!
Ours was a big group. There was another big group when we were there on Friday, 22 Sep. Loved the ambience! We ordered two of everything that they are well known for .... yummos ... did not dissapoint! On that night, only found my Ox Tail a tad salty but I have no reservations about ordering it again albeit telling them to be mindful of the salt! Street parking is limited ... however, there's ground HDB Gantry parking about 80m away! Will definitely come again (and again) with friends and overseas guests!
I have written a review on the newly introduced Wah Eng Beef Noodles to the BritisHainan menu. Frederick has my permission to reprint it on this website to share with readers and fans of his electic.....perhaps avant garde 'cafe ' would be the right word to describe this unique f b place. Its like nothing i can compare with in the context of Singapore.
