Passes this place all the time since I live close by. For a good ramen place like this I'm surprised that it doesn't get more customers. Their tonkatsu broth is very rich though a tad bit salty. Noodles are made in house and very springy and just the right thickness. Was pleasantly surprised to discover that they have a one for one deal going on right now. Paid extra 3 bucks to include a drink and a side. Total damage for 2 people is just shy of $20.
Located at an unsuspecting end of pasir ris central hawker centre, lies wild olives where you’ll see snaking queues at any time of the day. Looking at the queue of about 8 people, I quickly joined the queue thinking that it would move quite quickly, however, I was wrong. The stall has a system of taking an order and making that order individually before moving on to take the next person’s order and this inefficient system is why the queue was moving at snail’s pace. Nonetheless, that didn’t faze me, and it took 30 min before I could finally place my order. The preparation of food was pretty fast and we only had to wait around 3 min.
Their grilled chicken was moist and tender unlike the conventional grilled chicken we get from other places that tend to be dryer. I love the signature mushroom rice which was super fragrant and appetising especially with the generous amount of onions that they added. The herb roasted potato wedges were also pretty well seasoned however, it did get a little too ‘jelak’ for my liking after a few wedges. You also get a bowl of pumpkin soup for just additional $1, which is super worth btw!
Overall, I can see why this inconspicuous stall is extremely popular with the crowds. They take conventional western foods and tried to add their own spin to it, which turned out surprisingly well! It’s also super value for money considering the generous portions and quality of food. I would be back again if not for the long queues I have to conquer first!

The burrata was to die for. Also had the tomato pasta which was also a bomb 🙇🏻♀️
Skewers was perfect!! Slightly pricey
Came here for mom’s birthday. We both loved the Hawaiian thin crust!! 🥰
Baked boneless chicken leg coated with hot sauce, served in tomato based sauce stew with cauliflower mushrooms and potatoes with a toast at the side. This was surprisingly quite filling. Sauce was just the right sourness. Chicken was tender but a little too little. 6.5/10
Fries were chunky and the sweet potato was really sweet. It’s served their homemade aioli sauce which honestly tasted like mayonnaise which I don’t fancy and didn’t go well with the fries. 6.5/10
