If you don't mind waiting at least 45 minutes for your food, Wild Olives delivers quality hawker western cuisine for its price point. The Grilled Chicken comes with a choice of either teriyaki or mushroom sauces and two sides. For mine, I picked the mushroom sauce, homemade coleslaw and grilled herb potatoes.

The chicken itself is excellent - tender, succulent and devoid of the freezer burn that so commonly plagues proteins from western hawker stalls. Its skin is fatty and slightly charred from being on the grill, smothered in a rather uncommon herbal mushroom sauce. The slaw is tasty enough but unremarkable, however props must be given to the moreish potatoes glazed in a sticky reduction with garlic and onion. Unbeatable value for the huge portions and taste, if you can stomach the snaking queue.

Taste: 3/5
