Mr Chau & his gargantuan gaggle of foodie friends just LOVE FOOD.
And after extensive travel & existential eating around Asia, we have brought the mostest & the bestest & the deepest flavours back home to you.

Why is Mr Chau called Chunky Chau? Because Mr Chau is not 'fat'.

‘Chunky’, on the other hand, can be used to refer to someone who is short and muscular. Being short and broad shouldered, he looks heavy. Unlike ‘fat’, ‘chunky’ does not have a negative connotation. In fact, according to some books on usage, native speakers sometimes use the word to indicate affection.

    My friends and I visited for the bottomless bao and Sushi special. The special is great value for money, however — the service was really poor. The food took a while to come out and it was difficult to get the attention of a Waitor. The food was good, but we had a number of dishes that were ordered that never arrived. And two instances where Waitor’s placed food on our table that we didn’t order and we had to point this out to them. There clearly was not enough staff on duty this night as we waited over 10mins to try and find someone to get the bill and another 20mins for the card machine to arrive. Overall, it was a nice dinner that was dampened by the service.

    Great service. There was no salmon on the day so we had to opt for different food choices which wasn’t ideal.

    Fresh sushi, fresh ingredients, great flavors and food presentation, plus tasty cocktails is a winning combination.
