    Small and quaint outlet run by the kindest aunties. The food (herbal soups, laksa yong tau foo, laksa herbal chicken, etc) is sincere and heartwarming — watch out for the daily specials as well. The vegetables are washed with an organic cleansing agent to remove any pesticides. The walls are filled with illustrations of tiny aliens, which is incredibly cute. Always worth the trek out to the fringes of the CBD.

    Very homely food . very flavourful, had laksa yong tau hoo.. price wise is slightly on the high side if compare with hawker centre but if comparing with cafe, it’s still slightly cheaper. Portion wise is sufficient for a big guy like me. Didn’t took any pictures before the meals. Only managed to took some photos after finishing the dish. The concept here is more towards vintage style , thus it is kinda warm in here which I love it because my food won’t turn cold that fast. Would definitely come back here if i am around the area.

    Homely ambience, quirky and fun interior! Card payment accepted. Small and compact menu with healthy options for food and drinks. Loved that they had tables designed for solo diners, as well as for groups. A variety of sauces - chilli, garlic oil, sweet sauce, etc. - well within reach on each table. We felt well taken care of when we had our meal here. Tried the herbal laksa, which was amazing. Flavour was on point, and you could find various kinds of nutritious and delicious herbs in the soup.

    Food was refreshing. Supposed to be pesticide free. Works with shop next door to promote etl9 to remove all traces of pesticides from the food source. Too bad is closing down.

    Such a gem! Glad I found this. Menu was simple but they had a vegetarian option. A quiet spot in the hustle and bustle of Chinatown. Good place to enjoy a healthy light meal while having some quiet alone time.

    The poster stand outside looks plain, but the food is surprisingly delicious! Totally impressed by how they make a healthy dish so flavorful, as if they released the essence of the ingredients. Had to finish the last drop of soup. The ambience is cozy and homely, and the aunty is attentive. Great place for a warm dinner after work.

    Tbh the food is just so so. Ordered fresh vegetables with taupok soup, they asked me is it vegan but I told them I take egg aka ovo lacto vegetarian but the soup came without any egg, but why they asked? Also the taupok is not taupok, it's just 2 small cube of normal tofu. The shop is quite hot, I was sweating when eating.

    I just have a wonderful lunch here. The soup is flavouful not overpowering the taste of the vegetable.Most important of all there are no MSG or any artificial flavouring that cause thirst afterward. Totally must go for those who love healthy food without sacrificing the taste
