This homely restaurant on Tai Thong Crescent is sure to remind you of meals at Grandma’s. From the inviting atmosphere to the delicious smells wafting from the kitchen, this is the perfect place to go for some fuss-free local delights. Named after the owner’s nickname and founded on her love for cooking and enjoyment of family meals, diners can expect large portions, authentic flavours, and comforting homeliness.

This spot may be famed for its Assam Fish Curry - an aromatic dish that goes perfectly with rice - but there are plenty of other dishes that are just as noteworthy. The produce used is handpicked by Gu Ma daily, so diners can rest assured that they’re eating dishes made with the freshest ingredients. There are also some creative vegetable dishes, like the Crispy Bean Jal - which is made with thin strips of crispy deep-fried brinjal and French beans. The Stir-Fries Black Pepper Beef is another popular dish. Made with thin strips of meat stir-fried in a spicy sauce, this dish bursts with flavour with every bite.

Save some room for the Black Glutinous Rice with Ice Cream, a delicious dessert made with sticky Taiwanese rice topped with a generous helping of ice cream for a unique take on a local dessert. (Feb 2019)
