    It is huge ,i counted almost 400 tables ,i think.Good and attentive services.First you go to the supermarket counter running the length of the restaurant to select your purchases from seafood,vegetables,deserts right down to fruits& wines/liquor.You can choose to have a guided escort or do it yrself with a suppermarket trolley.I remember they have a restaurant in Spore in the nineties,but it was closed subsequently
    After paying for the purchases ,u cart your food to your table and the captain will check how u want yr seafood cooked..grill,fried steam,curried or tom yam.There is a service charge for the cooking.I noticed that they also charge for cutting the fruits.....not much 10Baht ...though i feel this should be waived and treated as a customer service.
    Due to the enormous scale of the restaurant ,i supposed the food could not be fresher.

    Favorite Dish: The curry crab is simply aromatic and delicious.The tom yam soup cooked with giant fresh water prawns (abt 8 inches to a foot in length) as the roe fused with the soup to give it a rich texture.The giant prawns are superb BBQ,out of this world ,however the price is the same as the Lobsters

  • Restaurant Name: Her Cheng Restaurant (Chinese piyin pronunciation)

    Very Chinese thai simple decor,not much to cry about.Authentic teochew thai food with thai influence as the Chinese settles here for few generations.Teochew food originates from a certain part of the southern Guangdong province of China.In an area bordering fujian province ,the locals speak a dialect called teochew,a bit similar to the Hokien neighbour.Their style of cooking is famous for bring out the natural flavour of the dishes as they use light flavouring n spices ..especially steamed fishes.In Honkong known for chinese food connosieurs,this style of cooking hold it's rank and can be found in some up market Chinese Restarants.Been back there several times over a period of 2 yrs. the place is still as crowded attesting to it;s popularity.The patrons are mostly locals of chinese origin withe the occassional expats/tourists.The last time i was there i almost mistakenly walk innto another establishment.Fortunately i remeber the waitresses'uniform and also this restaurant do niot have a uniformed ursher at the door as is common with most places.

    Favorite Dish: Prices are cheap.The sharkfin soup with sprinkle of fresh beansprouts cooked in a clay pot is simiply delicious .At 300B to 500B a pot ,enough for 4 persons, it is a BARGAIN price!The soy sauce braised duck /goose is ender and suculent,typical teochew style.
