I’m on the lookout of good restaurants in the west and I was elated to chance upon this restaurant which is highly raved by many food bloggers. This place was really secluded and it’s not easily accessible without driving. We were there on a Sunday night and I was surprised that the restaurant was packed despite its ulu- location.

The Sweet Potato Leaves with Salted Fish came in a claypot, which was too salty. (2.5/5)

We also ordered Salted Egg Squid. Each piece was well coated with salted egg and was not greasy at all. I wish the salted egg taste was more distinct though (3.5)

Another dish we tried that night was Bee Hoon with Clams. The broth which was cooked with clams was sweet and light and went really well with bee hoon. This was one of the better dish we had that night but it still lacked the ‘wow’ factor and crustacean unami I was looking for(3.5/5)

Cereal Prawns was decent and the cereal was not greasy so it was good enough to eat it on its own. My only fault is that the prawns are too small and not as succulent as the ones in other seafood chains (3/5)

The highly raved Champagne Pork Ribs was a disappointment. The champagne taste was really faint and it really just tasted like normal pork ribs to me. (2.5/5)

Tofu with Pumpkin Sauce, was another recommended dish that failed to deliver. The pumpkin taste was bland and not distinct. The tofu tasted rough and I wished it was silkier. (2/5)
