Starts your meal here with their Signature Deep Fried Chicken Wings where the chicken wings are perfectly deep fried till crunchy bites and it is well coated with the sweet honey garlic sauce in it.

Moving next is the Golden Soft Shell Crab Spaghetti where the lovely pasta is cooked al-dente with the Asian twist in it. We love how the soft shell crab is done where every mouthful is amazingly good and crunchy. And it has the hint of light spiciness.

We also enjoy this tender moist black pepper chicken which is sinfully delicious. The tender moist chicken perfectly grilled and comes with the aromatic hint. Sides with the creamy blend of black pepper.

And of course the pizza. The pizzas are served in square and thin crust. We had the chicken ham and cheese pizza where the pizza is stuffed with generous amount of the savoury chicken ham, pineapple , onions and cheese with it.
