The moment when you step into this restaurant, it feels like you have stepped into a time travel machine back to the past. The furnitures and decorations here are from last time, never changed and it gives you the feel of antique British times. On the wall is filled with their signboard and the posters from the 70s. The furniture has never changed, they still used those wooden tables and chairs, they still have the hanger to put the hats in the VIP room.

What's famous here is their Hainanese Chicken Chop, it has kept the taste from before. The tendon has been removed before cooked, so the chicken meat will not be rough. You can sense the garlic scent when you eat it. Other than the chicken chop, tey also have Hainanese fish & chips, fried rice, Hainanese noodle and also Sambal prawn, fried sotong and spiced chicken, and all of these is their signature traditional dishes. Another recommendation would be citrus juice, it so fresh till you still can drink the pulp.
