Considering the food is relatively mass cooked as there are so many tables to be fed, the food is generally good. Deco is traditional and really nothing to shout about but the food is good, in particularly memorable: * scallops and broccoli in XO sauce * fish maw soup * steamed grouper in light-sauce Will definitely return. :)
More like 3.5 stars but I'm feeling generous. The food here is good but not exceptional. There are many better places to eat in Singapore. But I'd come back. Lunch is always busy as its in the heart of Chinatown. Lots of high rise office buildings so there are loads of people. Give it a try.
Excellent place for dim sum and other local delicacies. The fried chicken feet were a little strange for my taste but my Singaporean friends loved them. Place crammed for lunch Large choice and good value for money.
