    Amazing Singaporean Laksa - highly recommended! FYI: They only take credit/debit card if you get $12 worth of food/drinks, otherwise it's cash only.

    Coconut drink - it comes in a shaved down coconut and they keep all the yummy juice and coconut meat inside, Roti Canai appetizer, Singapore Laksa, Hainanese Chicken. Reasonable prices, cash discount.

    First time visiting. I tried the House Special with shrimp. It was a hefty serving for $7.50. The food & service was good. $12 minimum for credit, bring cash.

    Inside track: Be sure to check out the roti guy as he hand-stretches the flaky, coiled roti pancakes that are a destination-quality item here. Read more

    The pineapple fried rice is really good. The Buddhist mix vegetables is good. Do not get the fried calamari it's terrible. Love the ambience.

    Okra and shrimp was amazing. The boneless duck was as well. Generally great food, but priced on the high side for the area.
