New restaurant at Tiong Bahru Plaza, at a corner so not too visible. Bak kut teh and prawn noodles were delicious. Would recommend the dry Bak kut teh, sauce is excellent. Had a good dinner, will be back!

Great service and friendly staff

Superb service. My whole family comes at least once a week if not more. We usually have the steamed fish. Even though it is not their signature dish, it is still very good.
