Went in thinking I was dining the Happy-Hour session according to their menu shown and also according to their POS system it was 14:00:53
However on the bill they issued there was no discount because they said it was the weekend, but there was no fine print or even a teeny weeny misleading print to indicate that weekdays and weekends are different.
Ordered stir-fried dry curry flat noodles and prawn noodles in gravy.

Vermicelli starter
This was complimentary but the taste was too spicy as starter.
It tasted like vermicelli tossed in chili and lemon dressing.
The starter ruined my appetite because it was too spicy and left my tongue burning so bad that I could not distinguish whether the main food items were too hot in temperature or whether it was the spiciness that was stinging my tongue.
After drinking some water, the burning sensation was reduced.

Stir fried dry curry ho-fun:
Initially I could not taste anything, but after drinking some water, I could taste that the sweetness of the curry powder used. The scrambled egg strands in the noodles were surprisingly quite nice. The oil odour was not that strong.

Prawn ho fun in gravy:
This was basically stir-fried noodles topped with prawns and vegetables cooked in clear gravy.
The noodles were stir-fried as well like above but tasted greasier and smelt of oil.
I would have expected this to be slightly healthier than the curry ho-fun, but this was so much oilier.

Chilli sauce:
The chili sauce was contained in a cute ceramic pot with a cute spoon. Not quite sure what was in the sauce but there seemed to be some grounded pork in it and it was slighty sour.
The sauce was quite nice and not that spicy.

Although this place has been awarded many awards, I found the food average.
