The Salted Rice Roll was good, but that's it. Don't bother to order the Salt Bean Milk. You will have better ones somewhere else. As for the Spicy Cucumber, it looked and tasted like it has been sitting in the fridge for a long period of time. Eat at your own risk: upon entrance, you will see a huge graded "C" sign. Everything cheap though.
