If we were looking for a Zhi Char stall, we would have gone to Hong Kong Street at the coffee shop next to the AIA building in the vicinity. For your info, it would have cost us much less.

Moreover, food taste below average, sambal was too sweet. The sambal kangkong was very salty & oily. The sambal mussels were full of empty shells and with very few small sized mussels, none of them sticked to the shells.

Ordered a small horfun and a plate of spinach.. And we were told that the bill is $22. The horfun was $8 while the spinach was $14. To be honest, we were surprised by their steep prices for the food. It is still located in a hawker centre after all, not a stand alone restaurant.
