Located along the old world charm of Armenian Street is a Chinese restaurant that serves a combination of Hainanese and Nyonya delicacies.

Ah Khoon Loh Mee

I’m not so much of a loh mee’s fan. However due to recommendation from a friend, I decided to give it a try. To my delight, it tasted better than I expected. That explain the crowd in the place. I have to wait for few moments before a seat is available. The thick gravy is [...]

Plus 2 Restaurant

The signature dish of this air-conditioned restaurant is Marmite Chicken. Yes, the sauce is made from Marmite; the thick and dark paste I used to had when I was a child. It is served with fried “man tau” bread; a great combination for the sauce. Other than the Marmite Chicken, it also serves many types [...]

Lemon Koay Teow Soup

This is a unique variation of koay teow soup. The soup has strong lemon taste and for extra kick, add some chili paste into the soup. It comes with sizable portion of mince pork.
It opens everyday except Monday for breakfast (7am ~ 11am).
