Review: Hotpot Seafood Set @ So Pho, Causeway Point B1-16.
I would consider this meal as the black sheep in the menu list. It looks appetising from the menu but the actual meal falls short on many fronts. First of all, except for the visibly 2 prawns, the meal looks more like a vegetarian set rather than a seafood set. That makes the pricing for this choice ‘hefty’ at $13.50 (an above average price given the average meal costs about $10-$12). The taste is not wonderfully Vietnamese which makes this meal a good miss when you choose to try out So Pho. The meal comes with rice in a bowl.

Garlic Pepper Chicken with Rice
Review: Garlic Pepper Chicken with Rice @ Ma Mum, #02-02/03 Ng Teng Fong Hospital (next to 7Eleven).
Ordered Thai Garlic Pepper Chicken with Rice which cost $7.90. While the serving is reasonably generous, the taste is rather bland and definitely not what you expect as an authentic Thai serving. Dish is just passable.
Rice Meal with Fish @ Blk 136 Marsiling Road
Review: Rice Meal with Fish @ Indian Muslim Food, Blk 136 Marsiling Road
This is an instance where what you see being advertised on the billboard is not what you get. So on the promise this stall is not giving what they are showing. as for the food, it comes with just the rice portion, 1 type of vegetable (which you don’t get to choose or you were not asked to choose) and the fish curry. While the fish is of reasonable size, the curry is a disappointment if you are expecting a curry as it turns out more like a soup that taste almost like curry.
Vietnamese Fried Rice with Seafood
Review: Vietnamese Fried Rice Seafood @ So Pho, Causeway Point B1-16.
Listed as a chef favourite this Vietnamese Fried Rice or known as Co’m Chien Hai San / Bo meal cost $10.80. This is what like about the meal, reasonable portion, good presentation and above all, it taste nice. The flavour won’t disappoint you and may even get you coming back for more.
Tom Yum Hor Fun
Review: Tom Yum Hor Fun @ Sanook Kitchen, Woods Square B2-08.
Listed as one of the dishes under Noodles, this Tom Yum Hor Fun at just $5.90 is truly value for money. It tastes good and lives up to Sanook’s tagline ‘Cooking Authentic Thai Food’. With a generous portion, ample mushrooms and fresh prawns, this tasty dish should get you filled as a standalone lunch or dinner meal.
Chicken Rice @ Blk 136 Marsiling Road
Review: Chicken Rice @ Kawan Kawan stall at Blk 136 Marsiling Road
A chicken rice stall is almost a must for any food court and at Blk 136 it is no exception. In fact there are 2 stalls selling chicken rice here at this food court. At this Kawan-Kawan Chicken Rice stall, they probably sell among the best chicken rice in the north of Singapore.
Chicken Oyster Sauce Noodle
Review: Oyster Chicken Noodle @ Puncak, Far East Plaza 05-94.
Let me begin by saying that I have been patronising this stall since I the early 90s even before my marriage in 1995 when it was owned by the original owner. So based on 30 years of experience I got to say that I have yet to find another Oyster Chicken Noodle that is nicer than this.
