“ Food i thought was quiet expensive.... yes presentation was good etc but 3 prawn dumplings cost 8 AUD which i thought was over the top for the small portion.... Nasi goreng was good as was satay but overall for 36 AUD it wasn't much food. Staff were good food was good too don't get me wrong just over priced.... ”
