Not sure if my experience was a little different because I was celebrating anniversary there, but they were really friendly and knowledgeable, even brought out extra custom desserts to surprise us. But then again for me the service was pretty much on par with Le Crocodile - I personally don't think it can be any better without them literally spoon feeding me lol.
Well except when I dined in a high-end seafood restaurant in China, where it was literally 5 servers PER table, at least 2 of them constantly just stood beside like soldiers at attention which was beyond overkill and not "good" service in my opinion, actually quite overbearing. Take 1 sip of beer and it's filled back up to the brim; take a cigarette out of your pocket and the dude is hovering over you ready to light it.


Anyways, what did you think of the food though? The Chef tasting menu I had was probably the best meal of my life.

Mama Lee's roti canai was impressive. It's been too long since I had good roti canai - this might be my new go-to place for it.
Also tried their Hainanese Chicken + rice. It was pretty good, but I wasn't super impressed by it. I'm aware that the chicken should be served cold but it was a bit too cold compared to what i'm used to. The hainanese rice was good too but it wasn't as hot enough. Lol. I do appreciate that their rice was not oily though - as I spooned mouthfuls away from the plate, the plate under the rice was oily.
I tried a drink as well - Iced Bubur Chacha. It's like a taro tapioca drink with small pieces of carrot. I couldn't taste the carrot but the taro tapioca drink was delicious. I would probably come back again - and order JUST their drink to go.

The food is pretty tasty but I find it overpriced for just chicken. Their "Half Chicken" order barely looks like it was shredded off 1 thigh and it's $16! I can't remember the name of it, but the spicy dry noodle with the egg is really good too!

Secret Sauce Haha yeah but the chefs make all the sauces from scratch with many flavours.
