Glad that Ipoh has the authentic and traditional Canton style clapot rice, which the sauce was seperated, tasted the fragrance of the rice, not only the flavour of soy sauce. In fact it taste even better than the one i had in guangzhou, will definitely come back!!

Claypot cured Meats & Black bean rice were good. We enjoyed our meals! However the older lady waitress has really bad attitude. She made us feel unwelcome!!! Never come back once to check if we like our food after she delivered the food. Very moody & displayed poor attitude. Feel bad for the owner. With that kind of unfriendly waitress, people would not come back. The young lady Cashier on the other hand was much nicer. At least she asked us how we enjoyed our food.

It's hard to decide between 3 and 4 stars. The environment is pleasant, the waiters are friendly, and the food is really good. But the Thai milk tea was honestly the worst I've ever had. It didn’t taste like Thai milk tea at all; it was overly sweet (Idk if I should call it sweet or what) with a strange sour taste. I couldn’t believe it, sour, in a Thai milk tea? I added a filter to the photo just to make it look a bit more realistic. The food was great and worth coming back for, but the drink was quite a shock. I really hope this can be improved.

The pepper pork belly reminds me of Pepper Lunch, tasty and delicious. We ordered 5 different bowls to share and taste the different flavours. Decent price.
