The food over here was really disappointing, it is totally not worth a try. I was expecting some good food over here but the quality really not up to standard. My friends and I was really not enjoying the food, we ended up going for second round of lunch.

Set meal come with a soup of the day, garlic bread, and drink.
Soup was just normal.
Fish and chips ($9.80) // Fish was too oily and the meat was a bit hard. Fries was normal. Not very impressive.
Hainanese pork chop ($11.80) // The pork was overcooked but the sauce was good.
Aglio olio with beef ($15.80) // The aglio olio was good, the spiciness was there but the beef was overcooked. Overall it was a good aglio olio.
Food: 3/5

The food there was average but the aglio olio was really good, it was a good place to have a quick meal. There are no service charge and GST over here.
