Healthy version of ckt. Taste was good. Missing out the wok hey and fragrance. Dont expect to see the smokey frying pan and the stirring noise. The cook is quite gentle with his frying and organize. Will probably stick to the unhealthy version.

3 (good quality but not my taste), freshly cooked kway teow but just not to my taste. I came around 6pm at Sunday, and owner told me get food 20 mins later. It’s freshly cooked and ingredients are good quality like oyster with no bad taste. But I do not like the overall seasoning of it. You may find it good tho.
