I think this is the 1st time I ever accord a 5-star rating for any of my food reviews. But really, apart from "GOOD STUFF!" I really don't have any complaints about this place. Service is fast, food is fantastic, price is very reasonable. What can I say...

We first know about this place when one of Chup's clients treated him for breakfast here. It is very near our residence, in fact we passed the place very frequently. I was convinced this place cannot be that bad, looking at the constant crowdedness of the place.

So Chup brought me there one day to try it. And indeed I was not disappointed!

You will be even more convinced when you see all these endorsements from celebrities, one of which would be super familiar to all of us, the late Lydia Sum. I don't think you would miss her picture :)

From what is left on the table, you can be assured of the quality of the food.

Traditional Medical Hall. Disappearing??

This is how a typical Chinese Medical Hall looks like. This particular one located in Hougang (Singapore) is one that I frequent and trust. I have heard horror stories about how some medical halls took their own 'initiative' to exchange ingredients which they do not carry with something else. As a results, the efficacy is completely changed. We as the end users rarely understand a thing about the ingredients in the concoction. All we do is pour the whole content to boil and drink the black bitter liquid that arises from it.

With the wider exposure to TCM, I hope this trade will live on for our future generations to see.

...the one who hates the taste of the concoction but could not deny the magic TCM can do
