| - Getting tired of the full SERVICE restaurant scene, I took my family to eat at the Centerview Square Food Court for dinner. It's been awhile since I took my family for Food Court since my School days probably at Pacific Mall or something.
I'm kind of glad it was Gourmet Garden because it's such a different atmosphere then we're used to in the last few years. When's the last time you've taken YOUR family for dinner at a Food Court?? Sometimes it's simply all about good food and family no matter where you go to eat.
The sights here are all on the Food and the SOUNDS come from the Wok constantly frying up something. It almost brings me back to the memories of Asian Street Stalls where those sights and sounds are a big part of the experience.
That aside, it's a Food Court so it doesn't have the cleanest tables, seats, washrooms, etc... It's not a place to stay either as people coming in to pickup their orders zoom behind your seats towards the counter. The air circulation isn't great but it depends on perspective as the HEAT is mostly from the Wok and whatever it is cooking.
Penang Prawn Mee(Sat/Sun Only, $5.80) is MOSTLY good with delicious soup stock, 3 Shrimps, Fish Cake Slices, Bean Sprouts, Fried Shallots, Egg, Chili Pepper and a spoonful of Sambal Paste that tastes pretty good too. The only downside for me is the Egg Noodles which didn't excite me much.
Malaysia Pork Satay($5.80/pk) & Bef Satay($6.50/pk) were tasty especially with the PEANUT Satay Sauce which accompanies. Hokkien Mee($5.50) which is Egg Noodle w/Seafood & Chicken is where the Noodles worked better in this application in my opinion rather than as a Soup Noodle.
Guess what? We also had Roti Prata w/Curry(3pcs/$4.50) but it's a deep-fried THIN Roti that was very oily but nice and thin but it had a bit of elasticity chew which you can see when you pull it apart. It came with a small bowl of Curry that had a piece of small Chicken and if lucky a brunoise of Potato. This was a good snack though as I found myself DUNKING the Roti nonstop into the Curry. Maybe open up a restaurant called "Dunkin' Roti".
