โ โ โ โ โ Service standard from booking to being served food was all empty (completely hollow) promises. Forget about reservation, just continue to wait like reservation doesn't exist and when you are out of their sight, you might be out of their mind (and the reservation list). Ordered an 8 course feast for the family,and you may expect to wait upwards of 20mins between each dish, they probably think they are doing wedding banquet! Just make sure you go with a full stomach so as not to be hungry from the wait. If you have been to a genuinely good restaurant, you will know that the food was average, nothing fantastic, but the service was non-existent!
[Update] As expected, the restaurant sent a standard reply to my review. Just another empty promise, no sincerity. Sorry but once bitten twice shy.

โ โ โ โ โ This restaurant serves Chinese Cuisine and well known for their famous Traditional Baked Chicken in 2 types or sizes (Normal 1.5 kgs & Village 1.2 kgs) and 3 flavors (Original, Garlic & Sugarcane) to choose and NOT forgetting their tasty stew.
We had their Traditional Baked Chicken (1.5 kgs Garlic), Chinese Spinach Soup, Thai Basil Omelette, Shallot Oil Noodle, Old Cucumber Soup and Clam in Chinese Wine Soup.
All the food tasted delicious and warmed our stomach. The notable dishes are the Baked Garlic Chicken, Thai Basil Omelette and the Clam in Chinese Wine Soup.
This restaurant served HOT chinese tea (Pu Er / Ti Guan Yin) but limited choices (2) only.
Last time we ordered Ching Leung Chai (Green Dragon Vegetable), this time we ordered the Potato Leaves with Prawn and Binjal Minced Pork.
The ambience, the seating and lighting is of the old chinese restaurant styled but the piped in music was pretty loud even though we have asked for lowering the volume.
During CNY 2022, we ordered their Traditional Baked Chicken, Spinach Soup, Marmite Pork Ribs, Fried Green Dragon Vegetable and Scrambled Eggs with Fake Shark Fins.
Good place to have stew, soup and to enjoy their Traditional Baked Chicken with family, friends and colleagues.

โ โ โ โ โ For a start we brought wine over, the wine glass served was tainted with lipstick marks.
Baked chicken was served without the rice we ordered.
Service was really bad apart from the food servings, no one came in the check on us even though we had gotten the private room.
Food was really really bad to the point that we donโt even want to bring home the leftovers because :
1) chicken was normal
2) sharkfin was substandard
3) green dragon vegetable was tasteless
4) fish was over cooked with very little sauce
5) mapo tofu was bland
6) dang gui lala lacked the taste of lala like drinking salt water
7) sausage fried rice was the worst. Soft and no distinct taste of wok hei
Go at your own risk. This place sure to close down.

โ โ โ โ โ I liked their food. But as restaurant charges service fee(10%), I hope restaurant offers service to tear off piece of chicken rather customer does it themselves. As when chicken is served it is hot to peel tender flash, it will be better to offer thickend glove as well rather than disposable vinyl glove only. It is just my opinion. Thank you for your food

โ โ โ โ โ The signature chicken does not taste like what I have tried in Taiwan, however their food still taste good. Price is abit expensive and doesnโt include tax. The signal is very poor inside the restaurant, so only can pay with cash, due to credit card machine/ any online payment system is not working. It is better if u book the seat early if you bring bigger family.

โ โ โ โ โ Just went there yesterday for a family get together dinner and it was far beyond my expectation.
It's located at the corner of Straits Quay just beside the EnO visitor centre so it's easy to find. A very authentic yet traditional chinese restaurant.
It's interior lines with traditional Chinese wallpapers and ambient lightings, adding warmth and soothing for the customers.
We were told to make a reservation beforehand as it would be full very soon. For weekend's dinner, it is advisable to go just before 7pm to get a seat. With nice view beside the dock of yachts โต , it surely offfers a picturesque photographic spot.
It has a wide variety of choices from it's menu featuring fish ,chicken, pork, prawns ?, and much more. It's signature dish is its chicken (็็ชฏ้) ? which comes with a salted spice powder and sauce to dip into the chicken meat. It's truly delicious! The other dishes we had as well were vege soup with salted egg and century egg which has a cooking wine aroma and a good choice of soup. The curry fish ?is tender and it has quite a large portion. The rice vermicelli with pork knuckles is also a must try. It's very tender and the noodles absorb all the juices of the braised pork knuckles. The salted egg fried tofu ( ้ป้่ฑ่
) is also labeled as one of their specialties with a crunchy crust and soft inside. Generous portions of salted egg paste were also layered on the fried tofu. There was also a seafood claypot dish with mushrooms ? , broccoli ? and braised pork hamstring. It's so mouth watering. The service was excellent and the food came quite fast though packed with people. The pricing is affordable and the portions are big, suitable for people with big appetite.
A really must try restaurant!

โ โ โ โ โ All dishes we ordered taste great. Everything came quite fast. Recommend to go on weekdays as it is less crowded. The server is very friendly and knowledgeable on their menu, also very patience with us as well. Will definitely come back to try out more.
