So was so excited to go have food from Singapore since I love it when i'm there but was quite disappointed in the food at Hawker bar. The hainese chicken had no flavor and not cut correctly nor did the rice have flavor: http://steamykitchen.com/5068-hainanese-chicken-rice.html Here is a great recipe that makes sure the chicken has flavor....the skin here tasted horrible. Not like in singapore as the server said. The shrimp dumplings also smelled and tasted bad and without flavor. The Chicken Satay was full of fat...why would I want to satayed fat? The nasi goreng was decent but could have more vegies. Singapore noodles also not great and not worth the $16 especially for the portion and the flavor. The only thing that was good was the lamb potstickers. They had taste and the mint sauce was decent. The cocktails were expensive and barely could taste any alcohol in it. I would say that I wouldn't go there again for food but only if we were meeting people for drinks...and they had a limited wine list as well. We ordered two different bottles of red and they were ok but pricey. The bathrooms are great though. Oh, we had the fried tofu and it was ok but not worth the price for the amount...felt it for that price it should have more.
so not a great first visit. Server was great, attentive to our needs...i think he was interested in one of my friends as he kept staring at her when he come over!
now off to search for some real Singaporean food in the city....http://awol.junkee.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-singapores-hawker-food/24523
