Heart warming meal for winter. Katong laksa for the spicy option, thick bee hoon noodles were not too soft and the soup was on point. Sambal also had the right kick. Roast chicken noodle soup and BBq Pork noodle soup for non spicy lover, armoatic chicken and heart warming soup plus points for the veggie. BBQ pork dry noodles always been a family favourite. Alaways friendly service who were happy to provided recommendations even though busy.
