If you can’t decide on which dishes to try, you should go for crowd favourites such as the Curry Chicken and Sin Chow Bee Hoon. The Sin Chow Bee Hoon was comforting and tasty, and paired perfectly with the rich, aromatic Curry Chicken. I especially appreciated how generous Neo Garden was with the chicken portions.
The Crispy Long Spring Rolls were a classic and tasty treat that we loved munching on. They even came with a side of sweet & spicy sauce, which further amplified the flavours of the crunchy rolls.
