Sarah ChenApril 3, 2013Awesome apam by the man in the bike at the roadside! Male waiter of drinks fond of make customers. HeheUpvoteDownvote
Mk DAugust 15, 2016Never order the Hokkien mee, it tastes ok only. Waiting time is very long coz the boss will serve takeout first and then will forget about your order after reminders. You decide what you wanna eat
