“ Three of us had a most interesting and memorable dinner savouring traditional Teochew food cooked over charcoal stoves. This way of cooking is a dying art and demands good control of handling the wok and other cooking vessels. Eating here is like dining in some grandfather's kitchen. Don't expect modern restaurant ambience and speed in serving the dishes. This is a simple very traditional Chinese eatery run by family, 7 days a week in a shop house in Chinatown. The chef team is father and son. Restaurant started 138 years ago by the young 24 year old chef's great grandfather. Super friendly. They will come out and explain the dishes if you wish to engage in conversation. We ordered a lot of dishes for 3 pax. Served course by course. Cooked the old way using pork lard and no msg is used. All the photo in the photos are excellent. Highly recommend to food connoisseurs who appreciate traditional cooking. No msg used - chef said so and we couldn't detect any Dishes we ate: steamed pomfret, braised goose feet noodles, crab claws tunghoon, fish maw pottage, oyster omelette, durian ice cream. Remarks: goose feet braised 36 hours, durian ice cream and egg noodles are made in house. Pork lard used are fresh and not the deep fried type ”
“ Old Teochew style resto. We were late afternoon on a weekday holiday so the only people in the restaurant. Everything was cooked to order so arrived hot and fresh. All tasty. The ice cream is sock coffee and made old style in a crank machine. Not cheap by Thai standards but very high quality. ”
