• go straight --> keep left and go up the slope
• look out for carpark A which is on your right
• turn into carpark A --> go down to B3 of centros building

kueh kueh - complimentary from the manager dino

as we were too full to have anything else he thought we could try their

ever since the TCS drama series "little nonya" everyone seems to be more aware of peranakan culture and food. no exception for us either.

food, ambience and service of the manager were excellent.

last saturday, we joined the ieatishootipost's forum's "durian degustation" session here. it was an enjoyable night making new friends and eating good durians. paid $20/- and we got to taste about 6 different types of durians. to name a few : black pearl, red prawn, hu lu, D13, etc. the highlight of the night was 猫山王.

how do you tell the real King from the fake one?

look for the Star at the bottom of the fruit and you will find the real King

(the brownish portion shapes like a star)
