WHAT'S THE CHANCES OF TWO @#$% FOOD STALLS SITUATED SIDE BY SIDE?

Unfortunately, quite high I must say.

There's always mediocre food around. But having to pay $7 for a claypot of prawn noodles and $6.50 for a chicken breast dish touted as its signature dish in an industrial estate food centre, you would have expected a bit more.

First on the chopping block is Ah Geok. Apparently Rebecca Lynne Tan loved it.

But I differ.

Don't be deceived by the colour and looks of the dish. The soup is bland. The prawns, which were most probably of the long frozen variety, is mushy. Yes. Mushy. I cannot believe that the owner did not QC on this very important aspect of the dish before serving it. Sorry. But it's the first time I had mushy big prawns. And the taste was bleh.

I picked up the menu and saw some credentials of the Vintage Chef which I thought sounded good. But alas, the potatoes that came with the chicken tasted better. The breast was kinda dry and the saltiness seemed like an afterthought. $6.50. I'd go Wok Inn.

I do see some potential in this two budding chefs, but I just hope they improve on their dishes before going further.

Suddenly, I missed Wah Kee and La Cuisson.

JUST STICK TO WHAT YOU DO BEST: &MADE BY BRUNO MENARD

I hope I got this joint's name right. 

Not that it was hard to read, but it came across as being...

Anyway, you only need one piece of advice here. Just stick to their original B Burger and their fries. The rest don't really cut it.

4.25/5

 

 

 Don't try to customise your own burger. Don't try the somewhat un-cooked caramel lava thingy.

Beef, truffle mayo, comte cheese, bacon. With complimentary dill, lettuce and onions. Way too complex.

Caramel lava cake with something coated ice cream

Thankfully neither Joe nor Gordon were here. Raw food goes straight to the trash bin on Masterchef.

As my granny always said, just stick to what you do best. B Burger.

FANTASTIC CHAR SIEW CHICKEN CUTLET CURRY NOODLES

I seldom use the word 'fantastic' to describe food. But this one really takes the cake and it's very 'value for money'.

To be sure, Cantonese Delights is located at Hong Lim Food Centre #02-03.

They sell a variety of noodles and such. But the killer dish, is their curry noodles.

The noodles, being the wanton mee variant, is seldom mixed with curry sauce. But it's done really well here.

Those who know me, know I love my curries. And this version does not fail me. The noodles are cooked and tossed into their standard green plate. A few ladles of curry is poured over it. I asked for the chicken cutlet and char siew combo.

All for only $3.50.

4.75/5

The cutlet is crispy and the char siew charred at the rights places. What's more, you get free flow chopped laksa leaves and pork lard bits.

You get heaven on the cheap.
