Food
The food is OK. There wasn't anything in particular to rave about.
Price
Price is just about right for what the restaurant offers.
Service
Waiters seems to forget orders when there's a whole bunch of customers. Plus they always did their eggs wrong.
Ambiance
The place looks like your everyday eatery, but much cleaner though.
Bathroom
Haven't visited their bathroom so I can't really comment on this one.

The Long Story

We saw a plug for this restaurant on an airline magazine, so we thought that it might be cool to try this place out. The name does seem intriguing. First time we tried the place, everything seems to be as ordinary as your everyday restaurant, with the exception of having a side of eggs on every dish. It sort of makes a person want to go back when everywhere else is full (Probably because of the ample parking space available).

About a month or two after, we decided to check the place out again. This is when everything turned sour. It took them ages to ready our meal. Either they forgot our orders of skipped it, I have no idea. It took about 3 follow-ups for our meal to arrive sans eggs. We were already half way through our meal, no eggs. A couple more follow-ups, and the scrambled eggs finally arrived. The problem here is that I ordered my eggs SUNNY SIDE UP.

What would have been a forty minutes dinner turned into a one and a half hour long follow-up festival. My final verdict is that this place MIGHT be good enough to earn it one star more than what I gave, but based on what I experienced, I'm not planning to go back and try them again anytime in the near future.
