The simple life


This restaurant has been at Wheelock Place for some time, but I've never been tempted to walk in cos the thought of paying more than $10 for hawker food just doesn't sound right to me.
Made an exception today (cos of a sudden craving for "teh") and my conclusion is - do NOT ever make another exception.
The hyper-diluted "teh" absolutely did not satisfy my craving.
And when the gula melaka ($3.90) arrived, my heart sank. The sago had a strange gooey consistency. The coconut didn't taste fresh, but powdered.
The saving grace was the prawn mee ($11.90) my friend ordered.
Huge prawns and generous slabs of pork were served on a bed of noodles, in fragrant broth.

Sweeet factor: 1.5/5
