Food
Unmatched wok hei, smoky flavor, generous lard and ingredients. Rich, sweet-savory CKT. Varied noodle texture, occasional mushy or flat taste.
Location
Zion Riverside Food Centre location, near Great World City. Accessible by public transport with some walking.
Service
Slow queue due to individual frying for quality. Mixed staff experiences; some friendly, some grumpy. Customisation possible.
Value for Money
Generous portions; $6 plate often enough for one or sharing. Some find price slightly steep for hawker centre fare.
Vibe
Perpetual long queues, 30-60+ minute waits common due to individual cooking. Hot, non-aircon hawker environment.
