Customers rave about its friendly atmosphere, complemented by the warmth of the staff.

I recommend their boil/fried beef dumplings. The coatings might be slightly thick but for me I like it. It’s juicy and yummy. Their fried squid nasi lemak is also commendable. The squid is airy and crunchy.

Take away dim sums and dumplings on 6 November 2024 which tasted so so (just wondering if they handmade the dumplings and dim sums themselves). You can choose to dine inside with aircon or outside. The cute thing is that they set up the "outside" using camping chairs (if you like that kinda vibe)
