These additional ingredients are priced from $15 onwards. Of course, their usual plum sauce will be waiting for you to drizzle all over your lucky platter.

Priced from $88 onwards per portion. Located across Singapore at all Greenwood Fish Market restaurants. Order from their website for takeaways.
