The restaurant was surprisingly bustling with activities. We got a table and observed what the rest were having. Porridge looked good, as well as clams.

| Clams cooked in XO Sauce |
Our order arrived within minutes. Chef must have mad wok skills here! The clams tasted good and it was pretty spicy!
We discovered that the porridge here comes in 2 sizes. Small or large. The staff informed us that small has 2 servings while large will yield around 6 serves. We decided to go with small, and was amused when the youtiao 油条 (fried cruellers) is of a large plate.

| Beef Porridge |
Am happy with the beef porridge. Well cooked grains, flavourful, smooth and enjoyable with tender beef slices. Yums! To elevate the porridge, simply drizzle a bit of the XO sauce from the clams dish. Double yums!
We had a plate of morning glory as well done ala stir fried with fermented beancurd sauce. But beware as there was plenty of cut chilies thrown in there as well. Fiery!

| tofu with salted fish |
The tofu with salted fish dish was good with rice. Every bite makes you want to take another and another...
The best dish for the night, was deep fried pork spare ribs with salt and chili. Tender meat fried till golden brown, seasoned perfectly and just lips smacking good.

Service staff was efficient and they were helpful in clearing off the bowl with clam shells, even without us asking. Our tea was also regularly topped up.
Busy place, nice staff and good food. We spent around AUD150 for our supper. We were there for only 45 minutes... Payment at the counter, after your meal.
