This is my second visit there, Fat Tulip and a curious Papa Chow in tow. We arrived no later than 12.15pm and already, the place was packed to the brim, with tables spilling out over to the premises' neighbours. Stir fried leek with shrimps. They had run out of tau kua, which usually makes up one of their signature dishes.
