My Ramblings...

Old folks will definitely love this place. The ambience of the restaurant is the 70s to 80s Shanghai era and the decor of the place is very posh.

There are also performance of popular chinese sentimental ballads on stage in the evening, i.e. Teresa Teng etc.

In terms of price, it is quite expensive if we did not have the voucher. Understand that they are having a 1 for 1 set promotion at $68++.

Will definitely patronize this place again.

My Ramblings...


Was disappointed with the spread. Heard lots of raves regarding how hard it is to try everything in one sitting. I managed to try all the varieties in 1 sitting.

Rated the quality to be 4 as the quality of the desserts was pretty good although the Boston Lobster was overcooked and tough.
