Tender chunks of meat with refreshing cilantro peppered with chopped bird eye chilli to give you that extra kick amidst that sharp but pleasant after taste.
Claypot Tung Hoon with Prawns ($10) – A huge serving of savoury tung hoon with firm large prawns.

Tung hoon is brimming with robust flavour of prawn and a char aroma. Prawns are deshelled for ease of consumption.
Fish Maw Soup with Crab Meat and Quail Egg ($12) – Served in a claypot with generous amount of fish maw for the price.
Fish maw has a spongy texture and absorbs the robust gravy. With no fishy taste, it goes well with the creamy quail egg and gooey gravy. Add a dash of black vinegar and some pepper if you wish, the same way you would enjoy a bowl of shark fin. This is a good substitute for shark fin soup as fish maw soup is also a priced delicacy due to its high nutrition value and taste.
Stir Fry Kang Kong with sambal ($6) – Young tender Kang Kong stir fry quickly in sweet sambal sauce with bits of dried shrimp and explosive bits of garlic.
Kang Kong soaks up the savoury gravy. Peppered with so much chilli, garlic and sambal, this has to be intensely flavourful.

These battered fish chunks with a light and spongy crust soaks up the tangy soup. The shredded Kaffir leaves and cilantro adds a nice aroma to the briny broth.
Mussels are a tad chewy with custardy innards. Get to these before the rest of the seafood to enjoy them at the optimum texture.

Rich creamy coconut gravy with good amount chicken. Soft tender long beans and firm golf ball size Thai egg plants with a delicate flavour coated in thick gravy.
