Visit Information:
During vacation on June 2012.
Impression:
It looks like a typical higher class Chinese restaurant complete with its tanks of fresh seafood. If you have never been to one, it's clean and nice looking. The black pepper crab is really good.

Fish soup
The waiter was really pushing for this. She is right as it's really good. It's as good as the one we had in Indonesia just the week before. I thought it was neat that they tied the vermicelli noodle in the soup as it made it easier to eat.
Black pepper crab with vermicelli
This is definitely the star for us. We consider black pepper and chili crab as must try dishes in Singapore. The vermicelli under the crab was soaked with the juice. We thought we wouldn't be able to finish it. I even said to my spouse not to worry of running out vermicelli only to found out almost right away that it was almost all gone. The slight dink on this dish was the type of crab itself. We had this problem in Indonesia too. The crab was refusing to let go of its meat compared to dungeness crab.
Honey and young ginger chicken
I might not get the name right, but no worries, it's actually sweet and sour chicken. Even the waiter called it that way later on. We were disappointed. Don't get me wrong. It's good, but it's nothing compared to the other two, and it's just hard to get excited over sweet and sour chicken.
It was explained to us as a triple mango dessert. A piece of mango inside mango pudding covered with mango mochi then dusted with coconut. I love mango and this is a good version of mango dessert that I previously have never tried.
