Spicy Dynamic (medium spice). I am Loving the most - pork belly and luncheon meat. It could numb your lips with this level of spice, but I do enjoy it because of the excitement and feeling great with the Ma La sauce. The sauce is not oily and perfect balance on the taste.
Spicy Fragrant (little spice) - The mild spicy flavour gives diners a good kick.  Savoury meal combination of fresh vegetables and meat really makes us addictive and cravings to add more rice. Oh ya! you can also add noodles to stir fried it together.

Unique Platter (non spicy) - I love the strong aroma from the garlic (you can request to add more if you want to). This simple and healthy dish is delicious!

You can always choose for all vegetables which is perfect choice for ladies who want to go for light meal and also suitable for vegetarian.
Succulent lala with mild spice
Wonderful meal and best pairing with a bowl of rice
Free flow of hot coffee for all walk in customers. You can cool down the spiciness with a cup of hot coffee




This is the first restaurant you can taste the refreshing herbal drink which are directly imported from Hong Kong. There are almost 7 choices of cooling drinks.
