It is expensive if you compare the food price at the different stalls to the actual price going into the individuals' places. Then again, can you get to different places on foot? No. Besides, the entrance is free at least.
Yes, the first thing that grabs you by the nostril is the stinky tofu. I wish that I like them then I would not be affronted by the smell (this must be how other people feel about me eating durian... drools).
I didn't get much food or drinks because of the price... haha. It is called fluting, so it was good that I only got things that I don't usually get like the oyster pancake, and Thai iced tea. OMG, oyster pancake was sooooo good from "Fried Oyster Pancake Oh Ah Jen", and the people were so nice. I got at least 5 pieces of oyster in my box. My husband got the lamb skewer, not at the famous one that is pricier and with longer lines. Guess what though? His lamb skewers were so tasty and not over cooked, and no lines! 6/$10 but others were 1 for $4-5. They say that theirs were big but it ain't that much bigger and for the price and how much you got... hmm.
After our walk around the stalls, we walked in P Mall, just to get my steps in. Don't go crazy with the juice, and lucky for us because it was warm today. Light sprinkles of rain.
So, once a year, cool. I go to this one because I have never been to either this or Night It Up (NIU). I ah e only been to the one in Irvine, Cali. I can't go to NIU again this year so here I am. I read that state of Asia is smaller in production than NIU so I can't wait for next year.
Overall, I got to eat and try food that I would never get otherwise. Price is expensive so I stuck to getting 2.5 items...half is for the nibble of someone else's purchase that I shared.
Basically, the food were a range from $8-13 per order of fish/squid balls/ 2-6 meat skewers/ buns, octopus/oyster pancake/potato curries. Today, I asked the person taking orders about how much was the BBQ eel, which I really wanted! When he said $13 for 3inches by 4 inches and .5 inch in thickness, I said, "oh, no, sorry, that's expensive. Thank you." He was not mad, but there were so many people lining up here. Each their own, right? Next time BBQ eel.
Besides, if you really don't like anything here, you can always head to P Mall restaurants.
