Basically, the restaurant was a small one with most of the seats in the open area outside the shop with only abt four tables within the air-conditioned area.
The main specialty of this place was the German pork knuckles, which normally it would be recommended to pre-order as they sell it on a limited basis daily. The pork knuckle was crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. The taste was just nice for me and not too salty.
I also tried the sausage platter, which consisted of a prok, beef and lamb ( which I changed to pork). The sausages were nice and succulent and were not too fatty, unlike some which i ate in the past.
As for dessert, I ate a tiramisu and it was not very sweet either. Overall I can say that the food is quite good and the portions are just right for either a couple or a group of friends. As for the pricing, it is quite reasonable was well. So do go down if you happen to be nearby Sunset Way

Coming to the food, it was typical Teochew porridge style with the braised stuff. We ordered a braised platter, which consisted of duck, pork belly, pork ears, eggs, tau pok,intestines. In addition, we had pre-orderd one of their signature dishes, which was braised pig intestines. This was highly recommended by my gf boss.
In addidtion, we also ordered "Tua Tao", "Gong Gong", Bean curd with Chai Po, mixed vegetables and chicken. Overall, the quality of the food was not bad but the quantity could be improved. As for the pricing, it was slightly higher than average but still with reasonable limits to me.
So if you are interested, do go down and try it for yourself.

My gf and I orderd a lot of stuff such as Sashimi Moriwase, California maki,Kabocha korokke(pumpkin croquette), Moyashi itame (teppanyaki beansprouts), Fukahire chawanmushi and Pumpkin chawanmushi, Tori karaage, Gyuniku shogatayaki (beef with special sauce), Nankotsu karaage (chicken cartilage), Sunagimo Shio (Chicken Gizzard), Ika Karaage (Baby Cuttlefish), Unagi Kebayaki.
I msut say that the quality of the food is definitely much better than that of Hanabi's. In addition, the spread of food is also much more in variety. The few nicer ones i like especially are Pumpkin chawanmushi, Nankotsu karaage Sunagimo Shio and of course the main dish, the Sashimi Moriwase. As for the price wise, its not much diifferent than that of Hanabi or Honjin. Therefore, I think that in future, this will likely be my 1st choice for nice Japanese ala-carte buffet. (till I find a next better one that is. haha)
Only one small disappointing is the slighly sluggish service of the waiters and waitresses. I requested for a cup and it took me three times asking 3 different people b4 I got what i want.

We ordered a couple of dishes, namely Sashimi moriwase ( mixed platter of sashimi), tori kaarage, pork belly in special sauce, stirred fried beef, gohan (white steamed rice), Chawamushi.
I must say that the taste is really quite different from what you eat at those franchised Japanese restaurants. The sashimi was really fresh (thou only a few pieces). The Chawamushi was very silken smooth and the pork belly was very juicy yet not too fatty.
Although the price is slightly higher, I feel that it is worth it as the taste of the food is definitely worth the price. So do go and give it a try one day if you happen to pass by.

The setting of the place was nice and could house about 30 tables. We ordered a few dishes namely the Fish Maw Soup, Ngo Hiang with Har Cho (signature dish!!), Hokkien Mee, Oyster Omelette and mixed vegetables (Lo Han Zhai).
Firstly, the fish maw soup was simply superb and tasted almost like the real shark's fin soup and maybe even better, as it was not that starchy. As for the signature dish, Ngo Hiang with Har Cho, the food were fried to a crisp yet were not oily at all. The servings were reasonable as well.
As for the oyster omelette, it was quite different from what we normally eat at food courts or hawker centers. Basically, it was crisp and non-oily with the oysters fresh and juicy. This was good especially for elders, who can't take too much oily food.
However, the Hokkien mee was served quite late and the taste was not really that fanastatic as compared to the other dishes. And in the midst of waiting for the Hokkien mee, we ordered another signature dish, the Kong Ba Pao. The meat was not too fatty and the portions served were reasonably good. However, for a small size serving of the Kong Ba Pao , there were actually 10 buns!! This is something which I observed for many other dishes, where a small sized serving was slightly oversized for a small group of people. In addition, like the chicken, you can only order either half a chicken or one whole chicken. This seems quite inflexible as customers cant have the option of ordering a portion anything smaller than half a chicken.
However, I would say that the dishes are indeed very tasty and I would go back there to try out the rest of the other dishes as well, especially the suckling pigs, which need to be pre-ordered. And one good thing is that there is no service charge for the bill. Though you are charged for the peanuts, tea and towels, which may be less than 10% of the bill if you eat more dishes.
