Here you will find the menu the same as the takeaways in England and many expats, ABCs and BBCs dining here.
They have all the comfort foods you would find at home and cooked with the familiar ingredients such as baby sweet corns, green bell peppers and those sweet onions.
The must try item is the crispy duck, it is not the Cantonese type with the thick fatty skin. The crispy duck served here and in the UK has crispy skin and soft supple duck meat inside to be eaten with those pancakes.
The pancakes are made by themselves too.
The price of the duck is about the same served in quarter and half portions with the same number of pancakes, which cost about £6.75 for a quarter of a duck and around £12 for half a duck! Here it costs $75 for a quarter and $120 for half a duck.
Likewise extra pancakes costs a few dollars extra.
The curry has the stuff you get in UK such as sweet onions and baby sweetcorns .
As well as Western Chinese food, they also do some Cantonese food, which is quite nice too.
They have duck leg noodles in a herbal soup with Angelica sinensis (donggwai) with wolfberries which I like, but unfortunately it gives me the nosebleeds the day after.
The drunken chicken leg is also good.
Even the Laksa matches the quality of the Laksa served in Singaporeoan places except it lacks the blood clams and prawns, but the taste is good enough and you can choose egg noodles to go with it instead of the boring vermicelli.
Although I usually order the comfort food, the eggs with prawns or roast pork is brilliant as well, especially with extra spring onions.
