i’m alw down for cheap and good food and so i was excited to try this out after reading @yongweikai ‘s review!! went on peak hour so waited for almost 45min 🥴 but it’s fine la wasn’t annoyed or anything bc there seemed to be alot of orders at that time ; got their 𝙲𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚊 ($5.50) and 𝚂𝚊𝚕𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝙴𝚐𝚐 𝙺𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚊𝚐𝚎 ($5) and wah i was a little disappointed 😢 idk if i set my expectations too high bc honestly i was looking forward to sth that would wow me at first bite but it didn’t for both dishes... the 𝙲𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚊 was okay, acceptable but rly nth mind-blowing the 𝚂𝚊𝚕𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝙴𝚐𝚐 𝙺𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚊𝚐𝚎 is sth that i will not get for my next visit, i couldn’t rly taste the salted egg? and the texture of the chicken w the sauce was sticky with a bit of sogginess, the sauce didn’t complement the chicken it’s v “niam” in a sense? iykyk HAHAHA ; overall, i would give it a 6/10 wld want to go back for other dishes bc they look p promising and it’s located at a very accessible location- jst 5min walk away frm MRT !

virgin visit to Amoy Food Centre and i got the 𝚂𝚖𝚘𝚔𝚎𝚍 𝙳𝚞𝚌𝚔 𝙳𝚘𝚗 ($7) from Kinobe and I must say I was pleasantly surprised!! they r super generous with their Smoked Duck and it was such a filling meal 🤰🏻 ngl i went there bc i wanted to try the Grandma Ban Mee but they were preparing to close when I got there 😢 ; also visited the well known Coffee Break and got 𝙿𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚘 𝙼𝚘𝚌𝚑𝚊 and 𝚂𝚎𝚊 𝚂𝚊𝚕𝚝 𝙲𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚕 𝙼𝚘𝚌𝚑𝚊 - very unique flavours but i think it was p average, the taste of Pistachio and Sea Salt Caramel was rlyyy subtle😬 unlikely that i’ll spend $4.50 again for these drinks but will definitely visit them again to try out their toast! Overall a good experience but surely have to come earlier next time, almost half of the shops that I’m interested were closed when i was there HAHAHAHA
