a friend of ours, alice, brought us to try out this place yesterday.

she has actually patronised this stall for about 18 years already.

we find this stall a jem too.

the combination was simply heavenly.

beef with kailan

had a cup of teh-o.

love the design of this cup. very retro.

they will serve raw veggie before the meal. if you do not like to eat raw veggie do let them know or else you will be charged for it.

it is a small size restaurant. besides table seats, they have counter seats and you can see the chef bbq the yakitori

the golden brown fried garlic is not bitter at all.

rice is very fragrant.

some of the dishes can be quite salty. overall, it is the best yakitori i ever tasted so far.

as the shop does not allow photography within its premises, i was not able to take more pictures of what i ate.
