Visited the branch at Bugis+ (#04-08 Bugis+, 201 Victoria Street). Comparisons are abound.
Ice coffee was not bad because it was sufficiently thick through the ice. We could taste the evaporated milk in it so it's kopi c. Gotta remember to siew dai it.
We had something on the menu called Penang prawn noodle. We were trying to figure out if this was a dry-ish hae mee tng or was it a soupy Hokkien mee. Turned out to be the latter. Not bad tasting in a pretty decent broth. Prawns had natural meaty texture and were sweet even. Fried lard was a little bitter, not very fragrant and hence, also not the better ones around. That being said, the lard wasn't a deal breaker and I could eat this again.
This was petai fried nasi lemak with fried chicken from the petai series of their menu. We were expecting savoury and this turned out a little sweet. Sweetness that annoyed me. Sweetness that came from the sambal and possibly onions. Who puts onions in fried rice or nasi lemak? Especially these which are neither caramelized nor raw. Even the turmeric infused batter of the fried chicken on the side was sweet. Dislike. 👎🏼
Yam rolls - floury and filled with bits of vegetables. Like some of the fried bread in Indian rojak. I have no idea where this was standing with that Nanyang themed food. Don't know where the yams were because we couldn't taste them. Also don't know why there were carrots. This was largely a filler fritter which was saved by the rojak sauce on the side. Pleasantly surprised with that sauce but that did not vindicate anything with these "yam rolls".
