    Cha Ching was an unknown destination for us and our selection was based on public reviews = all the Good reviews understated the outcome for us and the Excellent reviews hit the mark. Why? style and charm were subdued on entry but took a step up with the elegant decor and clever lighting. A display of cocktails ready for customers made a statement. But it was the gracious hosting that guided us to menu favourites and best value that opened our eyes to the wonderful choices. And we chose very well across a variety of food styles that nonetheless complemented each other and were beautifully presented. Top class staff

    We went for a birthday dinner, and we could not have been happier. From the moment we walked into the dining room, the staff were warm and welcoming. The menu flowed at a great pace, and the dishes were executed perfectly, flavours were outstanding. We must thank Chris and Keat for their amazing hospitality throughout the night. It was truly memorable.

    The Peking duck was great (as it should be, being a Peking duck restaurant). The other dishes we ordered were very tasty and very authentic. We reserved a table on a busy Friday night for 10 pax and they squeezed us onto a smaller table (luckily we had 2 small children and 1 person not attend - it was still tight). All the food we ordered couldn't fit at the same time. Not much service - order via QR code (which is not a problem), but we had to flag down the wait staff (not that easy to do) about 5 times to refill our water jug.
