"Surprisingly well cooked and tender BBQ sotong. Even the fish, which I think is from the trigger fish family, so BBQ to perfection with moist and flaking meat. The sauces are super spicy, but the ginger sauce floating in oil is not."

"Ugh, so ready for the original place to be all done with renovations. This temporary spot is so cramped, it's driving me nuts! Plus, the heat in here is intense, and there's always some sort of smoke lingering around. Honestly, it's making me miss the old setup. Despite all these annoyances though, the food itself is still really good. I've been enjoying the meals, which is definitely a silver lining. Can't wait for everything to be back to normal. I really love the food, so that's keeping me going!"
