    NEW RESTAURANT 

    Yakiniku Heijoen #05-31 Ngee Ann City 391 Orchard Road Singapore 238872 Tel: 6634-1411 Open daily for lunch and dinner: 11am to 3pm; 6pm to 10pm

But what we want to know is which branch of the family tree it hangs on - the original lineage or some secret offspring that took the name and a few dodgy cows, and flew cattle class to Singapore to open a joint in Ngee Ann City.
