Typically on the weekend, this stall is packed with customers and a long queue is waiting for their seat. The long wait may give an impression that the food is extremely good. We ordered similar dishes to the one we tried at Stall No. 7, and find that there's no difference in terms of the menu and taste.

Being the most famous stall at Portuguese Settlement, we were pretty disappointed. The Portuguese baked fish was also disappointed due to the strong fishy smell. The ingredients are seasonal but the waitress didn't update us on the availability. After queueing for so long, we found out that they were running out of crab after we get our table.


Since the menu and taste are pretty similar with other stalls, we do recommend you to skip the queue and try other stalls. Overall, the food are good, but not extremely impressive. It could be better as we remember this stall used to be the best.
