The old colonial style restaurant with its period , wood-panelled walls is a popular dining centre for locals, ex-pats and tourists.
A large restaurant it can however sometimes be difficult to get a table.
The extensive menu ( and cooking ) is plain old-fashioned, British - soup is served with two thick slices of bread ( door-stoppers ) - vegetables tend to be overcooked. The sizzling steaks are a speciality - diners are dressed with protective bibs before serving.
Service is efficient and fast like a military operation - the chinese waiters are uniformly dressed in white jackets and orders are taken promptly by the "Captain". Tables are just as quickly cleared and cleaned as soon as you have finished eating - a heavy hint to move on and vacate the table for the next customers.
