Signature Dishes
Evil Deluxe Three-Eyed Rice
Three half-cooked eggs are fried together; the beef is tender and the seasoning is neither too salty nor too oily, but the satay sauce is sparse and a little insufficient for the rice.
Shrimp Bean Curd Skin Roll
Crisp outside and tender inside, with a full savory seafood flavor; both the texture and flavor stand out.
Salt-and-Pepper Pork Chop Rice
The pork chop is springy and well-seasoned, and does not feel too greasy with rice.
Malay Curry Chicken Leg Rice
The curry is aromatic and there is a good amount of chicken, but the dish is overall oily.
Dry-Fried Beef Ho Fun
The ho fun is flavorful and the bean sprouts are crisp with a slight sweetness; a drier fry and more wok hei may suit better, while it can also come across as ordinary.
