It is a straight road where one would find small eateries flanking both sides. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Malay, Western.. you name it and you will probably find what you like.

This is my nasi lemak @walaku.sg . A not so common component is the nasi (rice) wrapped in banana leaf and grilled. One would think it is the star. Perhaps my expectation was high. The rice is moist but the fragrant coconutty "oomph" was missing and I did not get that "lemaky" satisfaction. I do love the chicken. Skin was so crispy, to the point of being crackling. With crispy crunchy bits of lemongrass and galangal sprinkled over, it creates a frenzy burst on the palate. However, I prefer the sambal to be packed with more heat.

Joo Chiat is a quaint neighborhood with a laid back charm. Hopefully it remains unspoilt and a blast from the past. If you visit, best to put on your comfy shoes and be prepared to walk. Only way to suss out the hidden gems, something old and something new.
