Opening hours: 24 hours

Was here for our monthly family gathering.

The place is located off the main roads and near to a a group of bungalows. Its a coffeeshop comprising of 2 different sections, the coffeeshop section with no air con and an air conditioned partition for customers who prefer a less warm dining experience.

They serve 24 hour dim sum and we were skeptical of the quality due to this. However, i have to say the dim sum was generally palatable and pretty decent.

Fish head steamboat

This came as a pretty big serving and had a generous portion of fish in the pot. Its rather salty and lacked the sweetness i  crave but my relatives enjoyed it.

Salted Egg Prawns

The salted egg prawns looks weird because of the batter that is used to coat the prawns. However, it turned out to be a hit. The batter was light and not oily while the salted egg taste was well balanced and complemented well. Prawns were pretty big and crunchy as well.

Coffee pork ribs

This hit me as overly sweet but otherwise fragrant and tasted good.

Overall, i picked some of the standouts to talk about but the general feel of the food was that it was above average for a Zhi Ca stall. Its 24 hours which is a bonus for late risers and the price is also very reasonable. 2 tables totaling 20 people with at least 10 dishes per table and drinks came to about $400 bucks. Your mileage may vary depending on what you order but its typically around this range.

Check it out and see if its your kind of place.

Verdict: Value for money and worth a try
