This restaurant must be mindful of salt usage, because the Chicken with Tofu and Preserved Vegetable had minimum salt. The Eggplant with Minced Pork was served with fish sauce in a separate bowl. The Charcoal Coffee with Sirloin Beef was bold in flavour, including salt, though. The cooking ranged from forgettable (Chicken with Tofu) to average (Eggplant with Minced Pork), to good (Charcoal Coffee with Beef). Actually, I cannot with sincerity recommend you to order the Chicken with Tofu dish.
Interesting! They cook with used grounded coffee in all the so-called Charcoal Coffee with Chicken/Beef/Pork entree/rice/noodle, and the result was nice, even refreshing. There is an obvious charcoal taste that adds a flavour but it does not overwhelm the other tastes going on in the entree. Nice inhouse specialty. I encourage you give it a try next time you are here.
We ordered a dinner combo for three ($26) that came with rice and starter soup. Considering that 3 bowls of rice was worth $4.50, each entree costed $7.20 on average. The entree was cheaper than those sold at T&T Supermarket. At this canteen pricing, I am willing to visit for a cheap eat again.
