Great Singapore restaurant to visit whenever I miss a taste of home. My favourite is the fried carrot cake which they make with dark sauce (at request). We have tried other dishes which have not disappointed. We sometimes order chwee kway for take out which is served with a generous topping of salted vegetables and a side of chilli belacan. The past few visits there has been a tray of curry puffs and kueh lapis (a rich layer cake). Family run, casual, clean and very reasonably priced, this is a good place for good Singapore eats.

I have tasted many Hainanese Chicken rice in Ontario, Lion City's are the best - rice very grainy, good fragrance and the chicken is not over cooked and delicious.
