This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.
The ever-cheery Peter Kwok appears to have a loyal following and he offers them what they want, with a menu covering all the dependable classics from Singapore noodles to sesame prawn toasts. The additional daily specials menu injects some welcome variety: not every Chinese restaurant serves langoustine, for example. The beef dumplings may take a little longer to prepare, but are delicious and worth the wait. The wine list also covers the essentials, but the overall emphasis is on the food and the convivial atmosphere, and since the corkage is good value and the off-license is next door it makes sense to bring your own bottle. By and large, the menu and the presentation are geared towards takeaway food, but you may find when you arrive to pick up your order that the quiet, warm environment and the friendly service make this as homely a place to eat as home itself.
- High point: The warm, welcoming environment
- Low point: The standard dishes won't set the world alight

Great little local restaurant in the Southside, only 1 mile from the Royal Mile. No MSG in the food, a bonus! Friendly and relaxed service. Royal Tom Yam chicken a delight.
