Owner was very friendly. Ordered the ckt. Tbh it was average plate of fried kwayteow. Lard bits could be more fragrant. Cockles were really small and shrivelled in the heat. The beansprouts were nice and crisp,saved the dish somehow. Much room for improvement. Overall will try again to find the improvement in future.
