Had a lunch there for the first time, 3/4 way of my food I found a cockroaches in one of the curries. The food itself might be nice, but I will never go back after the experience!

We used to love this place, used to love the food and the price that is reachable for the pocket, service was used to be alright, at least tolerable for our point of view, you can book seats and they will reserve it for you as long you are not ridiculously late. Last night, we went there brought a friend who's going back to his country for good, so booked 3 seats since Sunday night since they close on monday. Got there 5 mins late and this guy said you are late so no seats for you, wait for 15 mins! We end up went somewhere else since the 15mins looks like it's going to be 2 hours wait! What kind of service is this? If they can't even reserve seats for bookings, don't bother taking a booking! Just tell the customers that they don't do booking. They have become annoyingly arrogant especially since they got the new place and I agree with the rest of you that they have no clue that they are loosing their regulars.

We had lunch and ordered the seafood platter to share between 3 people. It was really good, full of fresh seafood including lobster, softshell crab and the bugs. Also ordered bruschetta which came in a big serving. It was good value and we really enjoyed the food.

Everytime we are down in the city on saturday afternoon, we always make our way to this place just to do a take away of their chocolate tart, and we always buy the medium size 'cos we know that the small one won't last long (gone in few seconds!). It's just so divine to the last bite. I've tried the dome and the macaroons and they all just so delicious. But our pick will be the chocolate tart, somehting that I will recommend to anyone, especially chocolate lovers

The best hainanese chicken rice I've ever tried in Sydney, the closest to the real one in Singapore itself. Highly recommended.

Great steaks, a bit disappointed with the mushrooms side dish. They could do much better than that. But in overall it's a great place to go back.

It was my first time there and we are not planning to go back, we had a breakfast there to celebrate my birthday, and since my husband is alergic to dairy, we requested for a non dairy breakfast (eg. remove cheese). The first reaction from the waiter was this confused look, telling us that the scramble eggs will have milk in it, so we asked him to make it fried egg instead, after he took the order, few minutes later he came back, threw the menu in front of us saying too much dairy in the food my husband had ordered. We asked him what food in the menu that doesn't have dairy, he recommended 3 out of 9 in the menu. My husband chose the last one. Few minutes later the waiter came back again saying it also have dairy in it. My husband end up eating fruit platters for breakfast, which by the look of it wasn't that fresh anyway. Can't they even make a special food for people with alergic? It's not like it's so difficult just to adjust the food with the request, especially it's just a breakfast!
