This is probably the Most Obscure Eatery in this Shopping Mall located in a Relatively Remote Section where there are Noticeably Lesser Human Traffic. 🤔 This place is so Low Profile and 低调 that someone even has to help them create a Google Maps entry. 🌏
And yet as I observed during my 2 Days of Exploration in this Mall, it is quite Popular and Busy during Meal Times. 🍽️🤔 The Main Reason is as according to some Google reviews, the Prices on the Menu for this Place are possibly the Most Affordable you can find in this Mall. Perhaps due to the Affordable Prices, this Eatery acts like a "Staff Canteen" for the Folks working in this Mall. 🤔 Of course its also open for the General Public. 👍



This Eatery opens at 9.00am 🕘 before the Mall's Official Opening Time of 10.00am serving Breakfast like Economy Noodles 经济面. Their Main Menu is served only from Lunch Hours. 🍽️ Staffs are Quiet and Reserved and Mostly Keep to Themselves. They can speak abit of English but its better if you can converse using at least some Basic Malay.


How to Order your Food:
1) Secure a Seat and then Join the Queue
2) If you're eating Nasi Campur (Malay Cai Fan), just pick whatever you want. 👉
3) If you are ordering Specific Items from their Menu instead, tell the Staff what you want. Remember to indicate "Makan Sini" if you are Dining-In. Pay first and hold on to your Paper Receipt.
4) Wait around nearby for your Food to be served up.
It will be placed on a Nearby Tray Receptacle for you to Self-Service and Collect with your Receipt. It took about 7 Mins for my Dish to be ready.
Mee Goreng Basah (Ayam) = RM10.00
I ordered this because of some Decent Google Reviews of this Dish. 👍 Served Piping Hot, the Dish itself feels Decent and Filling at 1st Look. 👍 Although it calls itself a "Mee Goreng", this is not those Dry Fried until Very Oily type that you'd normally expect, but more like a Tze Char Zhup Zhup Lor Mee type. 🤔

The Dish itself consists of:
🍝 Noodles with Gravy
🥬 Some Pieces of Veggies
🐔 9 Small Cuts of Chicken Breast Meat.
Quality of the Gravy
The Zhup they lum for this has a Brown Lor Zhup type of Appearance. 🍯🤔 Tastes Noticeably Sweetish with a Slight Saltish, like a Mix of Oyster Sauce and Kicap Manis. 🦪😋 Not unlike the Type of Gravy you get from a Typical SG Kopitiam Level of Tze Char Mee of this type.
Quality of the Noodles
These were most Definitely from some Package. I liked that they boiled them to a Soft Bite Texture and the Amount given feels Filling and Not Stingy for the Price. 👍 It does taste Quite Alkaliney and is Completely Dependent on that Sweetish Braised Lor Zhup Gravy for its Main Taste Profile. 🍯🤔 Not Amazing obviously, but Acceptably Decent for a Typical Office Work Meal.


Quality of the Chicken Breast Cuts
Amount given felt Acceptable for the Price and I liked that they are also Decently Thick Cuts, not Stingy Thin Slivers. 🐔👍 Clean Tasting, Not Overly Chickeny. They were Meaty but also a Tad Dryish, they were a Welcome Decent Protein Source for this Dish. 👍
Nothing Special about the Veggies, Soft and Tender, with No Sandy or Slimy. The Amount given was Acceptable. 🥬👍



---------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion and Closing Thoughts
At the Price of RM10.00 (S$3.10) for this Plate of Lor Zhup Styled Mee Goreng, 🍝 this is actually considered Non-Mall Food Price that is available in the Shopping Mall. 🤔 In fact, this Eatery may perhaps be the Most Affordable Place you can eat in this Mall.
The Dish I had actually tasted like an Average Tze-Char Mee Dish that you would expect from a Typical SG Kopitiam. 🤔 This is a Very Typical "Office lunch" type of Taste that is meant more for filling the Tummy for the Work Day. 🍽️ Not a Culinarily Complex Dish, it is Decently Made and I'm impressed with what is given for the Price. 👍

Realistically speaking though, despite being the Most Affordable Eatery in this Mall, this is probably not a Place that most Singaporeans coming to this Mall would bother to visit. 😅 Meant more as an Affordable Meal Option for the Staffs working in this Mall, I am impressed with how Decently Acceptable Tasting it was and 良心 Not Stingy they were with the Chicken Breast Cuts. 🐔👍
Really 良心老板 for offering such an Affordable, Acceptable Tasting, Not Stingy and Actually Filling Meal for the Working Folks who need it. 🍽️👍 I don't know if this Eatery will ever read this Post, but Thank you for your Service.
