I am not exactly sure how old this place is but a closer inspection of the interiors and the faded paint near the staircase indicate either old age or heavy wear and tear. In any case I am not complaining because once you sit down , rather uncomfortably since our table had a particularly worn out couch, the food that they serve is outstanding leaving no room for any faultfinding what so ever!
We had veg.steam wonton and exotic cucumber soup in starters. Both were exceptionally good. Steam wonton came with an ample amount of some tasty sauce which enhanced the overall flavour of that dish. The soup tasted distinctly of cucumber and had such beautifully julienned vegetables that it was a treat for the eyes as well as the tummy. Both these dishes were enjoyed by my two year old too. In the main course we ordered veg.stir fry noodles with pakchoy, babycorn & red yellow bellpeppers. This although minus any gravy was moist enough and well made. The portions were apt for two and comfortably filling.
One tip for the first timers, avoid seating on the upper floor. This place has a haphazard seating arrangement with some tables put outside, a few inside on the ground level, a few more on the upper level and some within the enclosed space on the upper floor. Sadly, the pantry exit on the upper floor is directly facing the washroom and may pose some hygiene issues. Also, it will be a good idea to not be in a need of using the washroom. There is just one here and proves highly useless when preoccupied. Kids can give a tough time during such pressing situations; ours did while we waited for our turn to use the loo. And in extreme cases even elders may be forced to exercise some self control
