I believe this is a Chinese dinner opening for some years.
My first time visit here for a quick lunch, turns out a disappointing one.
By looking at the posters on the wall, I had some expectations to my order. When it was served I was speechless because basically it's just some chopped roasted ducks soaking in a bowl red chilli oil, with a few veges, and that sells $25.
If it's delicious I would totally feel okay because it's worth every penny you paid. Unfortunately, it's not the case.
Well, I still finished all simply didn't want to waste my food since I already paid for it.
But, there won't be a next time though.

Place: The ambience was lovely and it was clean (though I ate there during off-peak hours).
Staff/Counter/Waitress: She is bubbly and helpful. She thought I don't know how to use chopsticks and so kind of her to offer me a fork. 🤣😛 Thanks miss!
Food: I ordered 2 dishes, they are:
1. ND05 - Sour and spicy potato noodle (NZ$11.80)
Not that bad, but not so good. Well, apart from the plum vinegar which gave the sour taste and the dried chilli with overflowing chilli oil on it that gives that spicy flavor, nothing much special with it even if there are minced pork and bean sprouts.
2. SF01 - Pork and Cabbage Fried Dumplings (NZ$14)
I was surprised when I saw the dumplings as soon as it was served, the dough ends (wrapper) was light green and it smells pandan and definitely it was! Nice catch for that one but I don't think it goes really well with the filling and plum vinegar. There are 19 pieces but quite small compared to the usual and less filling inside thus what can you say with those 19 pieces, haha🤣. (PS: They just serve plum vinegar with it and when I asked for chilli and ginger, the staff said they do not have and she seemed puzzled why I will put ginger in it. Well, in my stay in Singapore, that's how they eat it and also my Chinese friends will nod to that too!)
I didn't get to take photo of the dumplings because I actually forgot about it and awed with the colour.

Very tasty mixure of Chinese foods. My favorites are the Chinese burger and the Chongqing xiao mian. They usually have Chinese TV shows on the TVs way too loud and if you don't speak good Chinese they tend to just take your order card and do it before you can verify some things you have ordered. As a result I have had the wrong thing more than once.

Lots of choices of Chinese food and beverages but unfortunately when I visited, there were also a lot of them marked temporary unavailable. The food did not disappoint though, good portion and very tasty. The menu is conveniently in both English and Chinese and there is a bell on each table when waiter attention is needed. Overall, the experience was pleasant and I’ll go back again to try more!
