I had no idea this place existed until brought there by a friend. It's slightly out of the way from foot traffic, so I suspect it's not that well known. It's a Hong Kong style cafe. We got there maybe 12.10, maybe half full, got pretty packed before 1pm, but not full, and no need to queue. My friend loves the porridge here, we kinda forgot when we ordered! I got a duck noodles, he got a roast pork noodles, and poached cabbage to share. We both had honey lemon water cress. The duck was very well done, full of flavor, just a tad salty. The noodles were nice and bouncy, if the portion was a tad small. Their chili was very good! Don't think that's Hong Kong style. Given that the prices are pretty decent, it's not crowded, and there's a variety of food, it's worth coming back. The only real catch is the noise! The ding ding of the collect your order announcement was very loud, which perhaps encouraged everyone to speak loudly too!

When staying at Pullman hotel and don't want to walk to Raffles mall for breakfast under the sizzling sun even in the early morning, this is the perfect place. Person like me who doesn't enjoy Asian style noodles for breakfast can have continental style breakfast with others who wants to try some local style. This Cha Chan Teng style restaurants are unique in Singapore and Hongkong, so good to try once. Very reasonable price as the set menu includes ice teas for $1. -------- They changed their business hours to 10am open, so they don't have anymore merits as a char chan tang style restaurant. They even eliminated many of continental set menus and there's no more $1 tea with a set menu. There are many other places around to have breakfast after 10am with the better quality at similar price. So disappointing...

The food is generally good here. The beef cheong fun was a little tough this round, but overall great value and the dishes are always served piping hot.

What used to be a hotspot with snaking long queues and a full house even on weekday evenings have now mellowed to become a serene and comfortable hangout for dinner. In the absence of a crowd, the spartan decor stands out and you will realise that you are eating at a somewhat upgraded coffeeshop with aircon with StarHub centre energy as the number chimes keep going off in the background, abruptly the serenity and conversations. Food-wise, it has largely maintained its standards, though zero effort was made to plate dishes and food is just dumped onto the plate without much regard, bringing back 90s vibes where it is really more about the taste and quality rather than presentation. It takes a little getting used to now that everyone and everywhere cares about the presentation. The braised ee fu noodles are my favourite, as the taste is true to authentic Cantonese restaurants back in the 90s and pre-1997 HK. The roast duck was also fantastic though the roast pork and char siew weren’t as great as what I recalled. Congee was also great but dim sum seems smaller in portions and strangely stale nowadays. In my most recent visit, I was extremely annoyed by the elderly female waitstaff that was borderline harassing a Chinese national mother-daughter pair a few tables away. In her enthusiasm to make small talk, she purposely and unsuccessfully inserted fake Chinese accent and slangs into her conversations, making it sound like a xenophobic parody instead. May need to look into her retraining as her intentions were good but brings second degree shame to everyone else who were unfortunately roped into the conversation due to the prolonged and loud chatter.

Low rating is because of people complaining about the service, but you don't go here for service. You're here for that good ol' HongKong messy, confusing deliciousness. Milk tea is legit and just like the ones in HK. Bolo bun is ok, not Champion bolo bun level (that's top tier though), but not bad. The dumplings are so good, the skin on that har kao is so thin. Also love their meaty siew mai. The teocheow dumpling is too confusing for my taste buds. And do not skip the fried yam puff and pork tausi. There is a queue outside, but didn't really take long for us to be seated. And be prepared to get staggered orders to be picked up from the counter, that's just how it is.
