But I gave it a chance when the owner, who came to talk to us, convinced me by explaining that their prawns are guaranteed fresh.

Ending our meal with some beef, Juicy Japanese Style Hamburg White Curry Set ($15.80++) is a must-try. The patty was seasoned well, and was lightly pan-fried to create crispy edges that complemented its soft and juicy inside.
