Its featured on The Sunday Times! Yes... This stall deserves some praise... but if everyone knows about this treasure... will the owner:
1) Hike his price?
2) The queue become very long, and I have to wait like 30min???
3) More customers, therefore quality drop?

kk...

Things I agree with the article:
1. Nice sweet sauce
2. Toasted sesame adds a nice touch, aesthetically as well as to the taste
3. Yellow beans are tender
4. The Soup is really good
5. Fresh
6. Deep fried items, crispy outside, tender inside
7. Should be able to get your food in 15min
8. Don't expect a service with a smile... True.. been there many times, but never see the uncle smile before... but think of it this way... He is selling his food, how to smile at every single customers? Not customer service leh...

Things I disagree with the article
1. Chili sauce that stands out
2. More than 40 types, theres a lot of variety, but i don't think theres 40... well... I will count on my next visit
3. The fried homemade pork balls are supposed to be hard... its over fried intentionally to bring out the meaty aroma
4. WHY 3 STARS??? I GIVE IT

4.2 STARS
