Simply take a queue number, run your errands or shop around and a SMS notification will be sent once your table is ready, no reservations allowed.

Snaking queues lines at the take away counters and long waiting time for dining tables are expected as Singaporeans are known to be die hard foodies, trained at queuing for hours for popular food outlets.
