We had dinner with our tour group visiting South Africa. The owner, a friendly lady from Taiwan. She shifted here 30 years ago & never looked back. Dishes are flavourful and noticed the sweet sour prawn sauce was sweet but not much sour taste. The crispy fried pork was good and full of flavours. Cabbage fried with shiitake mushrooms was not too salty so was the lettuce fried with brown sliced mushrooms. Soup was slightly spicy and sour which was hot and a good starter meal to warm the tummy. We had the mix cold dishes with chef made pork meat & sausage etc Finished off the meal with some citrus fruits
