Ordering Strategy

Start with shared small plates like the Taiwanese chicken and cheung fun, then get your own claypot rice. Mix the rice immediately to blend the crispy bottom layer with the toppings.

What to order

Safe first

Tobiko & Prawn Cheung Fun

Described as a 'coastal tapestry' where every strand sparks with flavor, featuring a combination of soft rice noodle rolls and minced prawns that provide a satisfying 'good bite.'

Hungry

Chicken & Shiitake Claypot Rice

The signature dish cooked in individual clay pots to achieve a 'perfect balance' of a scorched rice crust on the sides and a soft, fluffy center.

Wildcard

Taiwanese Fried Chicken

An addictive starter with a salt and pepper batter that is 'crispy and thicker than normal,' revealing tender chicken that reviewers find hard to stop eating.

Wildcard

Matcha Milk Bubble Tea

Regarded as one of their 'great bubble teas,' this fusion drink is innovative, though some critics find the flavor profile leans toward an 'overt sweetness.'

What to skip

Skip
Soft-shell Crab Summer RollThe only dish reviewers suggested avoiding, noting it was 'disappointing' and 'lacking carbs,' with fresh veggies that overpowered the 'delicate flavor of the crab.'

Good to know

The space is petite with a central communal table, so booking is recommended to avoid queues. The claypots stay very hot, cooking the rice at the table.
