Recommendations
Paper wrapped chickens 纸包鸡! S$25 for 20 pieces
The paper wrapped chickens are indeed very tasty although they are a bit oily!
 
Crispy Cuttle Fish 香脆苏东 S$12
The cripsy cuttle fish is good but the quantity is a bit disappointing.
Deep Fried Bean Curd 香炸豆腐 S$8
The beancurd is really very tender and cripsy.
Bee Hoon with Oyster sauce 蚝油米粉 S$10
 
Personally felt that the bee hoon is a bit pricey. Quite plain with just oyster sauce and vegetables.
Ordered this as they don't provide rice.
