We were greeted by menus thrown on the table before we had the chance settled ourselves. Never been here before and not a good first impression.
We were only given 2 menus for 4 of us which was not a bug deal. A flood of customers came in and we requested to order.

All in attendance agreed that a main and rice did not cut it if you wanted to get full you had to order 3 courses. The price was definitely NOT value for money especially given the size and the flavour of the dishes. The prawns were severley lacking or any flavour whatsoever. They ...read more
