A new eatery that pops out along the stretch of Zion Road, named as Tong Shui, cantonese way of saying those watery sweet dessert. It took over the previous nasi padang store, and revamp the whole place.

A very big signboard was hanged outside to attract customers, but I don't find it very pleasing to the eyes. Looks more like temple. The shop design wise, i think they are trying to make it look authentic, but kinda of mismatch everywhere.

They had a huge selection of food which makes you quite bothered on what to order. I have decided to order the recommendation which is the cheesy fried rice & milk tea. The cheese is good but the rice beneath is a hard, dry and tasteless. The milk tea is also tasteless, so blend. My colleague ordered the pork chop rice which he finds it not that fantastic, and another colleague of mine ordered a toast with baked beans.

Imagine waiting 30 mins or more for one slice of ordinary toast, yet all the staffs are busy chatting with one another & playing with a baby? Super poor service.

She was hoping it would be something good since she waited so long when we are the only customers. When it is served, it is just a thick bread with baked beans on top. She says the bread is cripsy on the outside, soft on the inside, but it is not something she would like to order again.

So what else can I say about this place? Poor decor, poor sevice, tasteless food. Failure.

Rating: 2/10


2nd visit to this place is still as disappointing. Sort of being "conned" by their 1 for 1 set lunch gimmicks. Even maggi mee taste better than their nissin noodle. This would definitely be our last visit.
