🤷🏼♀️ Visit again? 100%. I absolutely adore this place! Venue-wise, it has a nice, New York vibe to it, the food has so much depth of flavour and the staff are just lovely. A big yes!
🏆 Faves? SO hard to pick as I loved almost everything but the stand outs were probably the laksa, chengdu street tofu & charred Jordan cabbage
