Was initially apprehensive given that Ting's views might mean that the restaurant borders on touristic (and overly busy such that food and service would be compromised) - although was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. Food was good, service was impeccable and seamless, and the team was very thoughtful (in assisting with my mum's birthday celebration). Great value for money to, with the weekday set lunch!
