Pinocchio Western Cuisine, Hui Sing Garden

Can't recall when I had my last western cuisine? More than half year or more ago?

Headed up to Hui Sing Garden for Pinocchio Western Cuisine. It's actually a stall located inside a coffee shop/kopitiam.

The simple and only menu:

Can choose any 2 side dishes for the main meal
Pinocchio will update their latest menu very soon and there will be a slight changes on the sides and meal. No more sides dishes to choose to complement the mains.


Our order number and eating utensils

Pinocchio Chicken Chop RM12.80 with sides spaghetti and wedges

Pan Fried Norway Salmon with sides savoury rice and coleslaw



Overall the taste was okay on average. The portion of the mains were rather humble, thus choosing some starchy sides like rice and spaghetti would help to make you full. A few menus were not available such as fish and cheese and calamari ring during out visit. Perhaps that's one of the reason there is changes of menu. 

得不到的东西, 我们会一直认为他是美好的, 那是因为你对他了解太少, 没有时间与他相处在一起. 当有一天,你深入了解后,你会发现原不是你想象中的美好.
