We decided to visit this place after taking notice of the shop in the far corner of the vicinity, near the washrooms. It looks neglected at a glance and the lights were dim, as if they were still closed. There was only one person stationed outside who later ushered us in once we made known ouR intent to visit their premises.

The restaurant isn't what you'd expect if you're looking for a fancy experience with your date. Instead, the place looks exactly like it was taken from Singapore's hawker stall. In fact, that's exactly what they were going for.

Eager to sink our teeth into what they offer, we ordered most of the best sellers for our dinner. A platter of sambal fried rice, chili crab meat, beef rendang, katong laksa, sambal stingray, and hainanese chicken.

The food arrived in waves in the span of ten to fifteen minutes, starting with their katong laksa. It tasted better than Ulli's although i think it needs a bit more tartness to cut through the richness of the coconut milk. Their beef rendang is perfectly seasoned thoroughly.

To end the meal, we ordered iced kachang, which is their version of the local halo halo with coconut milk and pandan extracts.

I think that they should ask their customers if they wanted spicy or non spicy flavors. I expected singaporean food to be spicy but we were served mildly spiced food. Most orders are expensive. I'm glad that their stingray tastes okay. I'm surprised they know their sauces well.

Once located at the crossroads near IT park, this fusion restaurant was one of the best places where you can get unique and fresh singaporean/indian dishes at an affordable price.


This restaurant practically makes use of the herb coriander in almost all of their dishes from the appetizers, garnish, and even up to their drinks. This makes all their dishes light and refreshing to the palate.



We had basil pesto pasta, samosas, and naan for the duration of our visit here. The grilled stuffed eggplant was also quite delicious. The toasted naan was served with salsa that fit the theme perfectly with its crisp and hint of spice. Even though they have meat dishes here, vegetarians have the option to order a meatless version of some specific food.

The ambiance was perfect, as the lighting was just right to set the mood for a perfect dinner with the company of your closest friends.


To end the meal, we also ordered a scoopful of homemade green tea geleto, just the right way to end the night.
