Best place to eat Singaporean chilli crab! The taste is authentic and spicy enough to give you a kick. The crab is super meaty and delicious! Service is attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.

Had zero expectations about the food before coming here and boy was it tasty. Don't expect your typcial aunty & uncle restaurant in chinatown, you can taste the difference in their quality here hence the pricing.

Friendly service and drinks were amazing. It was very unfortunate, there wasn’t much oomph to the savoury dishes. They were quite sweet in fact.

Absolutely amazing decor but noise level is a big issue which is unavoidable. The lobster noodles dish wasn't as good as expected. Lobster meats tasted off.

Decided to try out their bottomless brunch. their cocktails and bubble tea were very nice. but their yum cha was average. jaffles were nice but being fried a tad bit oily. the football dumplings had thick shell. rice roll similar problem thick skin. prawn crystql dumplings were nice but their skin at the edge is a bit hard. waiting times were long and as they restrict ordering 6 items at a time, towards the end you do feel rushed and wanting to order more. staff very friendly and will come around to ask if need top up.

I ordered spicy pork and prawn wonton, signature roasted platter, Sichuan Fragrant eggplant, salt and pepper squid, Char kuay teow and ox sauce fried rice. All of them tasted so good especially the eggplant. I gave ten thumbs up👍

This time tried the satay mixed, prawns fried with salted egg and usual full hainan chicken with chicken rice. the satay was a let down but dry, satay sauce good. salted egg good and hainan chicken as usual was good. Also got takeaway large truffle fried rice which meant 2 boxes of fried rice, this was pretty good and the truffle taste not overpowering.

This time came for lunch, their lunch menu is different as they have single Hainanese chicken and rice. also got takeaway three roast and rice and beef noodles. the roasts are pretty high standard. definitely recommend using liven as it makes it hugely worth it

Very busy weekday lunch. long waiting time. had the mixed roast and chicken. the hainan chicken rice was nice but the portion they gave was chicken breast, would have preferred trying their chicken thigh portion. that being said, it was still quite tender. the mixed roast only the duck stood out as clear winner. the roast pork and charsiu was ok but nothing special

Another repeat visit due to liven package, this time came with my friend for dinner who had been before. Tried the lobster noodles and pipis, probably not a great combo as they both combined were quite alot of gravy which we ate with you tiao. Reportedly the lobster noodles used to be better, anyway would try different dishes next time

i will likely have to eat the menu as ive bought a care package. This time came alone for dinner and tried the fried noodles and asaparagus dish. They checked with me that im not actually vegetarian as the asparagus is fried with Chinese sausage. fried rice noodles were smooth and not broken. Pretty good standard.
