The crab in the chili crab pie was not warm entirely. The middle was coldish, definitely not warm. The bowl for the prawn mee was too deep and it was difficult to eat the noodles. The humourous bespectacled bald waiter/ manager's service was excellent. Rice from the chicken rice could have been more fragant/ flavorful. Thought the sg chinese waitress who spoke fantastic mandarin was quite defensive when feedback (questions were asked and i answered truthfully to help them) was given about the food to another waiter. Kaya toast and the artichoke dishes were fantastic. Kudos to the filippino waiter who noticed a left-hander. This is the 2nd restaurant that I've visited tt noticed it. I am glad that the owner decided to pay homage to Singaporean food and make it his main selling point since inception as sg food is fantastic. Unfortunately he'll have to put up with people comparing hawker food and his. Jia you. Hope he'll continue to prosper. Paid about 550 for 2 pax with 1 drink each (and water).
