This is one of the many places our family will go for dinner on weekends.
It happens to be the first the 'new wife' would be eating here with us after we got married.
It's just the usual weekend zhi-char food outdoors sitting under a tent that's below a big huge tree! Super kampung!
As usual, the food here is nice, cheap but totally un-presentable! This place is about cheap good food and not presentation. :-)
The veggie dish. It's a little oily, but taste wise it's good.
Slight crunch to the veg, but ugly looking dish!
Their tofu dish was nice. Try the tofu if you are here. They deep fried the tofu which has a nice charred smell and taste, but the inside of the tofu was still very soft.
The sauce looks clear, but it's very flavourful. Great with the plain rice.
This is the fried egg with little oysters dish. Partially covered with sweetish chilli sauce that's very addictive!
If you like your fried eggs and you like sauce, this is for you.
If you are on a diet, flee! It's sinful!
The herbal chicken that's only available on weekends and only a few are prepared.
We managed to get it because we were there early.
Their herbal chicken was yummy. The viscosity of the soup is about right. Not too light or thick.
Lots of the herbs that gives it a messy look below, but the taste was good!
Side note:
I used to like to order herbal chicken in many places, but whenever I think of plastic at high temperature and I give it a second thought and don't order it. Since I have not had it for a long time, it is someone else who ordered it, and I missed it, just makan lah!
This crab dish was the highlight of the night! We all think it's super nice! It's their Salt Baked Crabs!
If you are getting tired of black pepper or chilli crabs, try their salt baked crabs!
The shell is salty (but of course!), but the flesh of the crabs are not that salty. It had the baked fragrance to it. You know the smell of the crab shell that has been heated at high temperature. It smells quite good!
Who can resist fresh crabs?
For lovers of crab roe, (ie the wife and the many ladies at home), it's heaven!
See the bright orange colour of the roe!
The shell is what the wife goes for usually! This one made her smile with the roe there.
Good thing I am not one who likes it a lot! There's no fighting for crab roe!
The crabs are about $100 for two of it. (sold by weight and market prices)
They are quite huge and we were really satisfied!

haha I am a guy and I love crab roe! whereas my other half does not like it. =)
great pictures. now I am craving for crabs!
the mud crabs look delicious! love the nice indie feel of your blog instead of being an ad for a fancy restaurant.
Completely irrelevant to this post but I remember reading one of your old posts and saw you had some coffee cake with sone sort of a biscuit crust on the bottom before? Was wondering if you remember which cafe/deli you had it at as I'm looking for such a cake for my birthday.. I'm actually not sure if it was your blog or someone else's blog but I hope you can help!
Oh mine. The crabs look really delicious. In fact, looking at them at 115am isn't helping. Can hear the tummy churning!!!
My Devil loves crab roe too, I wonder what that means... :P
