I am new here in SG and this place feels like home. I mean the food are great. Staff we're so accomodating and friendly. Me and my friend had a great night.

Had the greatest time here with my bestfriends from Singapore. Love everything here from the grilled food to the view. It was hot and humid but the music was good. It’s a very busy place, we didn’t need a reservation

nice ambiance… Easy to locate.. All the food we ordered are all tasty… 🤤🤤🤤… Great place if you’re looking for Filipino cuisine.
