Food Scene
Sing's is well known by locals for delicious fresh Asian cuisine, made very quickly and at very reasonable prices. It can get extremely busy but if you haven't booked you won't wait long as turnover is quick. Most local families dine early so the rush is usually over by around 8pm. There's a constant stream of locals picking up take-aways. It's BYO, so you can pick up a bottle of wine or beer from the Bottle Shop across the road.
