Visit for lunch on Saturday or Sunday, 12:30pm to 3:30pm, to enjoy the buffet at just $22.80++ per person—a steal in this economy. Alternatively, visit for dinner from Friday to Sunday, 5:30pm to 9:30pm, and pay $28.80++ per person instead. WhatsApp 91700684 to snag a seat!

That’s not all: every second adult gets 50% off the buffet price, bringing down the price to $11.40++ and $14.40++ for lunch and dinner, respectively.

There seem to be several fish dishes you can try as well, such as steamed pomfret and deep-fried batang fish. Fans of typical Teochew porridge are likely to enjoy the spread of dishes available here.
