This is a very authentic Singaporean restaurant with excellent seafood. Its always full of local folks but there is usually a table somewhere for you. If you don't speak or read Chinese and are unfamiliar with the cuisine its a bit tough to order, but worth the effort. There are some pictures and the waiter/waitress are very helpful if you let them assist in your choices. This is a typical Asian scheme where you order a few dishes for everyone and share them around. The restaurant is in the corner of a cute older style building, but its all open to the outdoors. Think patio restaurant/cafe. Ambiance is minimal, but you are right in the midst of local life here and its fun to eat and watch others come and go along Balestier road. I went here the first time with my Chinese boss, now its a regular stop for me when I am in the neighborhood a couple of times a year. This can be a modest price meal or a bit more depending on what seafood you choose. Enjoy a real and tasty local experience.
