This stall is located in a hawker centre on the 2nd floor of Anchorvale Village shopping centre, where the first floor is where the restaurants are located.
It has >30 stalls and can fit 600 pax. Good ventilation given high ceilings, open layout and large High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) ceiling fans.
Price is reasonable:
Har Cheong Gai / Honey chicken mid joint wings 8pc $12
Triple Egg Chinese Spinach $12
Hei Zhor (Fried Prawn Paste rolls) $12, 18
Bittergourd Pork Ribs $13, 18
Sambal Seafood $16, 22
Nyonya/ Curry fish head $28
Claypot tofu $11.50, 17.30
Yam Ring $20
Horfun $5
Hokkien Mee $5
Pork Rib King/ Sweet & Sour Pork rice $6
San Lao Horfun $6.90
Food quality varies. That of individual rice/noodle dishes is poor, e.g. San lao horfun is simply gravvy poured over horfun; there's no wok-frying. Pork chop fried rice's pork chop is flattened until 3 mm thick, which unfortunately seems to be norm nowadays at all DTF-alike fried rice stalls.
The normal zichar dishes are better, e.g. the whole steamed seabass for $12.80.
Parking - There is a MSCP right inside Anchorvale Village.
Kids playground is located on Level 4 and can be reached via stairs from level 3.

Alamak, white kway teow instead of the chow tar kind. Already see one star dropping off 😂
And what's more, the rice noodles were fat and rather tasteless.
Luckily (?) there's some slices of tender pork and two small prawns.
(Good thing I had two pieces of vadai with green chilli to keep me happy 😁)
Well, at least my curiosity about this stall is now gone!

Ordered Gong Bao Ji Ding, takeaway.
$12. + delivery.
From the look, could tell something was not right. Tried one of the meat, could taste the flour and sourness.
Tastes like leftover food, recook to another dish. Suspect used unsold sweet and sour pork to cook gong bao ji ding.
Totally no taste of gong Bao ji ding.

Ordered hor fun, bee hoon and mixed rice (tze char style) on a Tuesday evening. Had to pay through the Kopitiam app. Order was recorded as 3x bee hoon. What's more atrocious is the exorbitant dabao (takeaway) fee - $4.90 (refer to picture attached)! Mind you, it's 3 packets. Do you not do audit properly? It is your responsibility to make sure that the cost breakdown is clear at first glance to buyers. Yet, what the uncle did instead was to repeat "just look at the screen and pay the price". I would understand your annoyance if you had many customers waiting, but not only did you not have many customers, you also have several staff inside focusing on fulfilling the orders.
I saw that there are other stores with the same name and they have good reviews on the staff's attitudes. Perhaps you should considering shifting those staff over to train the staff here on proper customer service etiquette and retrain them on how to correctly use the Point of Sale (POS) system for the sake of the customers as well as for audit. Well, if the staff in question here is the owner or manage, please go and take courses or shadow those in the other branches so that you can pick up these essential basic skills.
At the end of the day, although the interaction between customer and staff is supposed to be short, it is still fundamental to have good customer service, at the least answer questions once and for all. Failure to disclose information is considered dishonesty and can be reported to the relevant authorities.
The food is decent though! I appreciate the cooking staff for putting their heart into the food they cook :)

Pork chop fried rice at S$8.80. Probably should have looked at reviews before giving this stall a try.
The only ingredient in the fried rice is egg. Pork chop is as flat as prata. Went back to ask about the flat pork chop. Response was they flattened it and it is normal. The menu says "pork chop fried rice".

The fish in the sweet and sour fish slices was hard to bite. The fish must have been fried for a long time.
Yin Thong Wong
This is the only zi zhar stall which doesnt have any wok hey in all the dishes. The hor fun is not even fried at all...they simply splash the gravy onto the plain white kway teow....the 2 miserable prawn also half cooked....avoid this stall at all costs...the taste really cmi.....
Clo’s Laobu
Went on a weekend evening and it’s very crowded. Order from long ding since I saw so many people waiting and I will want to give it a try on the horfan. To my great disappointment, the horfan totally tasteless and no wok hey at all. Ingredients very limited that cost $6. Will not recommended to hor fan lovers.

Ordered Gong Bao Ji Ding for takeaway. $12 plus delivery.
From the look, I could tell something was not right. I tried a piece of the meat and tasted the flour and sourness. It tasted like leftover food, re-cooked into another dish. I suspect they used unsold sweet and sour pork to cook the Gong Bao Ji Ding. It had absolutely no taste of Gong Bao Ji Ding.

Have eaten here on a few occasions. Our favorite dish is fish head curry. Today we ordered the claypot fish head as we have seen other customers ordered this. Still curry fish head is our recommendation.
dZus Dapple
Fuiyoh, $12.80 for a steam fish in this economy? And mind you it is BIG!
The true Super Value Meal. Fried rice is very mid though
Yung Kiang Loh
Food is good.
Reasonable prices.
Bryan Fang
First time eating from this stall due to the promotion I chanced upon while walking into the hawker centre.
$12.80 for a whole steamed seabass?!
Went and made my order with a bowl of rice.
Waited for about 20mins for it to be cooked.
Fish tasted fresh and no smell. Soy sauce was good, tasty and not overly saltish.
Finished it cleanly, superb.
Went back to ask when the promotion will end, staff say depends on boss but not so soon as they have just started.
Adrian Ng
Quality zichar stall "hidden" in a corner of Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre. Service is brisk and food came piping hot and delicious. Now they have a value for money SG60 set meal, good enough for 5pax!
