Ordering Strategy

Service can be chaotic, so arrive early; the space is often walk-in heavy, though reservations are available.

What to order

Safe first

Singapore Laksa

The broth is hailed as 'transcendent' and 'complex', anchoring the menu as a must-try even though critics noted the prawn portions can be 'meagre'.

Hungry

Bak Chor Mee

A hearty minced pork noodle dish that serves as a filling staple of the authentic hawker-style lineup.

Wildcard

Chilli Crab Bao

These 'thickly armoured golden parcels' are described as 'pudding-sweet dough' containing an 'exploding payload' of piquant chilli crab.

Wildcard

Kueh Lapis

An 'oddly compelling' pandan-scented version of the traditional squidgy rainbow layer cake.

What to skip

Skip
Beef Rib RendangBilled as 'fork-tender', critics found this dish 'unyielding' and 'uncooperative' to the point that the provided spoon was useless.
Skip
Nasi LemakReviewers found it lacked the 'anticipated creamy richness' and was marred by an undercooked egg with 'watery ring of albumen'.
