One of the must-haves during lunch outings is pork, as the cafeteria in the office does not serve this. We ordered the spare ribs as an afterthought, and it was a good thing that it was served together with the other dishes. The spare ribs were very meaty, tender and juicy. Some special brown sauce was poured over it, which makes it super yummeh! Served on a bed of lettuce, it was most enjoyable. Definitely recommended!

We googled a few places, and settled on Ah Lye Curry Fish Head Restaurant as the reviews seemed to be pretty good. We arrived, and business was in full swing. The place wasn't really big, just one shoplot. There were about twelve tables altogether, and most patrons were groups office workers. Since the place was pretty small, the noise level within it was quite loud. We q
