Specialising in local fare, it is (at least in my opinion) a pricy alternative to your authentic hawker food in a local hawker centre where you can find local food at its best, both in price and quality.
But well, we don't have too much of a choice when it's nearing 10 p.m. and we want to settle dinner fast and in a comfortable environment.
We ordered an iced lemon tea, a nasi goreng and a prawn mee soup. The food came in hearty portions but I guess they better do, considering the exorbitant pricing.
Here's the Nasi Goreng with ikan goreng (I had it replaced from chicken), sunny side up, prawn crackers, archar, fish floss and fish balls. (S$29.00)
I like how the archar is coated with a generous amount of peanuts and how the fish was very tender and well marinated despite it being deep fried.
And here's the prawn noodle soup (S$24.00). It was comforting to have some soupy food at this time of the night and although the soup itself somewhat lacks in favour, it redemned itself by a good offering of fresh prawn and ingredients.
Here's the shocking part. The iced lemon tea was a whopping S$14.00, no joke.
What is only comforting is that you get a 50% with a Feed at Raffles card (although the same don't apply to drinks so don't be ripped off unnecessarily).
