Came here on recommendation by someone in our dining party who had great praise for this place. Glad to note that this turned out to be as expected, if not better.
Although the place was pretty packed on a Sunday for lunchtime, we could still have a decent conversation and not be bothered by chatter from other tables. The dining environment was classy as it should be at a fine dining establishment but not that overwhelming and still cosy enough for gatherings.
The dishes we ordered were generally well-received by our group. Personal favourites were the braised duck and cuttlefish platter, crispy rice rolls, pan-fried carrot cake, bamboo clam with vermicelli, the fried mee sua, sauteed squid in Teochew style and orh nee.
The biggest surprise for me was finding deep-fried chicken cartilage here which was done nicely and crunchy. It's not easy to find this dish in restaurants and among the times I tried it at other places, they were largely disappointing. Glad to finally find a version which was very satisfying.
Service was generally prompt and attentive.
Of course, the high quality from an all rounder like this did come at a price so this is probably somewhere reserved for special occasions or when you want to give yourself a good treat.
