1 1/2 hours???? I'll be full by then

that's what they told us when we went..
bittergourd.. can ask them to cook other ways.. they're all zhi char stalls so they can improvise..
their fish noodles also look good... but beware those who are not used to freshwater fish.. slightly "muddy" taste as the fish are from ponds...
