A rare germ in a small fribourg town! Very friendly owners from Chinese community in Malaysia. Try their dim sum, it's made on site and good, we had the ravioli vapor to start with jasmine tea. And we ordered the mixed vegetables, satay chicken and shrimps, topped with fried thick rice noodles with beef in dark sauce, reminds me of home. The satay is a nice touch, a reflection of the owners' heritage, would recommend eating it with white rice.

Love this restaurant. Uncle the owner is always friendly to everyone. Food were prepared fast and it taste very nice. When I miss Chinese food from Singapore, we come here, closer to our city. The atmosphere is nice too, like a back in the day kind of place where you go with the whole family with round table. Our favorite is the table by the window. Thank you for always cooking delicious food for us. See you again for Chinese New Year :)
