| - I'm a visual person, and I got to say the pictures here did not look particularly drool-worthy. Alas, do not judge a restaurant by its pictures!
We were super hungry and ordered the Hainanese Chicken Rice, Baked Pork Chop with Spaghetti and Fried Chicken Wings with Chilli Pepper Salt. We also received complimentary soup with our order.
As someone who lived in Singapore for 12 years, the authenticity of the Hainanese Chicken Rice was lacking. The meat was too tough and had a stronger ginger flavour than the usual Hainanese Chicken I was used to. The soy sauce was also missing - a big no-no. The rice, although flavoured, was quite dry. Overall, I would pass this dish and head over to Jackpot Chicken Rice instead.
The redeeming dishes of this cafe were definitely the Pork Chop and Chicken Wings. While the spaghetti was completely different from regular Western pasta (its slightly sweeter and lighter), it complemented the pork chop superbly. The chicken wings, tossed in a chilli and pepper stir fry, is fragrant, savoury, and had a nice crunch. My boyfriend says it may be the best chicken wings he has had!
Definitely don't overlook this cafe!
