I looked with interest pictures posted by other reviewer and dropped by this place two times for different dishes. Nevertheless, I could only say it’s at best just so so and a nice change.Dishes here reminded me of Taiwanese and Southeast Asian dishes I had over past years. The rice seemed to have a clear influence from Taiwan.

Dishes here reminded me of Taiwanese and Southeast Asian dishes I had over past years. The rice seemed to have a clear influence from Taiwan. The ‘fettuccine’ noodle (Mee Pok) are closer to noodles I had in Singapore and Bangkok but the sauce/cooking style is more toward Singapore’s Bak Chor Mee which was mostly laden with soy sauce, vinegar and chili (optional) but not tasty enough, ie a sort of localization of the dishes.
The stewed pork belly was soft but not flavorful I felt it’s more of an oily than savory meat dish. The only good thing I can say about ostrich meat was its tenderness. Though this meat tenderness seemed to be a theme of street food in Southeast Asia where it’s difficult to find high quality meat, there’s not much of the flavor in there either from the meat itself or the meat marinating Southeast Asian resort to boost the flavor of its meat.
The sauce, as I said earlier, seemed to be a localized version of what I had in Singapore, not bright enough to enliven the dish but more of a sauce to just moisten up the noodle. The homemade chili was way too mild to add any significant meaning to this peasant/homey dish. With this kind of 'moisten' sauce, we need the lift from the noodle. However, it has neither enough bite nor eggy to balance the dish.
Its French bean was cooked on the soft side; its pale green failed to contribution to the presentation of the dish. Its softness resulted in a lack of the power to ‘cut through’ a rather blandness and heaviness of its sauce. If you want to cook the vegetable this soft for this kind of overwhelmed but bland sauce, the vegetable should be cooked with more flavor in it. The soup was not sweet enough though the good thing is that I was told there’s no msg in it.
Every dish seemed to be ‘not there’ yet kinda thing. However, it wasn’t too bad for a change from a typical Cantonese dish in Hong Kong. The hospitality here was great both times I drop by. The place looks clean and comfortable to sit despite the size. I will definitely be back for more once in a while as a nice change but I wouldn’t suggest anybody to come across town for this noodle, kinda good if you are in the neighborhood.
