Finding the large Sotong interesting, most probably I will make a return for its Nasi Lemak. Do remember to be early as most of the time they do sold out before the stated closing hours.
As a whole, I enjoyed every aspect of the experience at Lawa Bintang. The hour-long queue was not uncomfortable and the food proved that it was a worthwhile wait. Although the price of each dish is more expensive than traditional nasi lemak, the large portion and unique ingredient would make your splurge justified.
The location of this outlet is, unfortunately, quite ulu, so get ready to walk quite a distance before you can spot this hidden gem.
A group of penguins is called "Huddle". The concept here is to have your friends over and gather at Tipsy Penguin. And of course, who can forget about alcohol when it's called "TIPSY" penguin. They have a variety of alcohol from draft beer, mocktails, shots, soju, red and white wine, sparkling, whiskey and house pour such as gin, vodka, tequila, etc.
A complete Nasi Padang meal usually includes a balance of vegetables and variety of meat. Check out the curry vegetables, a yellow creamy dish. The spices are finely blended before cooking. Coconut milk is slowly added to ensure a creamy texture.
I'm scribbling this down in part just to help me remember what to order next time at Fei Siong's Malaysia Boleh! and Malaysia Chiak!
Overall, Makanista is a strong entrant to the local F&B scene. Its concept of livening up well-known hawker fare is certainly exciting and bound to attract the hipster younger crowd.
Makanista will surely provide diners with different experience especially to diners who are looking for innovative twist.
Tampines isn’t really in the way for me, but I’d definitely keep this place in mind if I happen to be in the area.
Overall, the experience at One77 Degrees was a pleasant one; no doubt the location is a little far-flung.
The service and ambience are definitely top-notched, but the portions need to be bigger. The food concept is interesting, using western cooking on Malay food, but the food needs some adjustments.
The staff’s openness to feedback and overall friendly service make me want to give our friendship another shot.
We do hope that Brothers in Fine Food would be able to refine their recipes further as well as introducing more items on the menu, but it is a spot that is worthy of checking out if one is around the area.
If they can spruce up the place and improve on the service, it could be a good option for a simple affordable meal.
