The decision was clear—to delve into their signature dish, the Dry Chilli Pan Mee featuring succulent pork cutlets. A generous array of ingredients adorned the bowl—a harmonious blend of ikan bilis, fried shallots, garlic chips, minced meat, and homemade chili resting atop a bed of noodles, crowned with a perfectly poached egg.
