They serve fantastic cheese crabs, irresistible egg yolk prawns and mouth watering braised meat. Hmmmm….

It is situated in a heartland estate below those HDB blocks where you expect to find noisy coffee shops, coffee-stirring uncles and beer drinking chee kor pek instead of this cozy restaurant serving such Chinese delicacies. Their service was fantastic; they change the plates almost after every other dish and even bother to provide plastic gloves where you can enjoy your crabs in the most unglamorous manner. If you are not a nationali-cist and are able to withstand the initial overly enthusiastic and slightly pushy waitress, you’ll love this place for its great food and great service.

My little sister is concentrating on her crabs.

It’s not the cheapest Chinese Restaurant despite its location, where my family of 7 spent close to $280 for this dinner, but it’s a surprising good meal in this tiny little Bukit Batok estate.

This little estate that my friend refused to acknowledge its very existence, he once said, “Who goes to Bukit Batok for movies? No one stays there! It’s not in Singapore!” Yes yes, if according to him that CCK is in JB, Bukit Batok would probably be very accessible via the second link way.

Before I confused any reader, Bukit Batok is in the west of Singapore. Yes, its in Singapore.
