Cheese Baked Rice with Chicken Chop

I'm so amazed on how they presented the Baked Cheese Rice, fusion of Western and Asian style, the rice was put on topped of a dimsum basket, quite a nice idea. The rice is yummy and full of chicken chops til the bottom. It costs 10.90++ SGD if you order ala carte or take their set to have a free cup of ice/hot home made lemon tea with a small bowl of dessert for 12.90++

Almond Lychee gelatin

This dessert is common to any chinese food shops but what I liked about this, the syrup is not too sweet and the gelatin is firm.
