On Thursday night
On Thursday night, we had an exceptional evening with my wife, our son, and daughter-in-law. The service was outstanding, and the food was exquisite. The staff went above and beyond, particularly for my wife. Heartfelt thanks to everyone. Sincerely, Ernie.

Was actually looking forward to this I know you have to try places but I personally didn't enjoy it at all left a sickly taste in my mouth shredded beef was just clumps of fat no flavour in the satay and the spicy chicken was like chicken and onion soup.

A walk down memory lane
I have always been a been a fan of Indo-Chinese halal cuisine since I was kid, and looking for a decent halal place in Purely is sometimes overwhelming. I discovered this restaurant by total accident. The restaurant ambience was decent, the decor was alright. The food was very nice and certain Chinese dishes like, Singapore Haka Noodles, Manchow soup, chicken spring rolls were absolutely delicious to eat.
