We had dinner as of this club with neighborhood friends. It was a fascinating experience - noisy, huge, occupied and great food. The club serves Hokkien style food that is very various to the normal Cantonese food we have been used to eating across the world. Wehad tummy pork in a very tasty dark dark brown sauce including small white beans much like baked beans - it actually melted in the mouth area - served with a aspect of steamed buns; crispy skin chicken that was half a baked poultry, cooked to perfection; large prawns in a curry sauce, that was delicious, nonetheless it was very hard to peel the pawns if they had been smothered in curry sauce. We chose kai lan and basic rice as accompaniments. For our band of four the price was MYR 180 (AUD60) that is pretty good, still by local criteria. Would we go once again? Probably not.

If you are seeking to try suckling pig.. this is actually the place! Your skin is slim and crispy and the meats is not tough! All various other dishes are simply ordinary Chinese meal. Nothing at all extraordinary. Don’t work with the dessert specifically the fried pancake, it’s justbatter and very oily. Waitstaff was always readily available if you want them. The area is air conditioned plus they have VIP (personal) rooms nevertheless, you need to book them.
