Gong Pian by Cheong Cia

Cheong Cia Gong Pian business was taken over by two brothers from their granduncle about 10years ago and the old family business is doing very well. I guess that is the reason that makes the owner of the business being so snobbish. Despite of their behaviour, you will still see patrons lining up to order their famous gong pian.
