This popular stall in a coffee shop opposite SPH sells both pseudo western food and pseudo japanese bentos which are neither cheap nor pricey, but portions would be considered small for most guys. It is crowded & not having a wall mounted menu display makes it difficult to order even for repeat customers. They have several copies of a rather disorganized menu so a first time customer needs to wait for his turn to browse the menu at the order counter & decide quickly or the people in the Q will s
Things were easier for me as my associate told me all their western food comes with spaghetti, small corn cob & lettuce so just choose type of meat or fish desired. He added that the bentos came with local not Japanese rice, miso soup & lettuce leaves, adding that rice sets have shorter waiting time. I picked the teriyaki chicken bento which cost $5.70 & had bonus 2 chunks of chicken karage (see photo). The teriyaki chicken steak was pre cut into pieces - were slightly over-charred (chau dah) & parts of it were rather tough. Taste was ok but not enough teriyaki sauce for the rice. The side order of caesar salad which we bought to share costs $4.70 was expensive as the portion was tiny with not enough dressing & no croutons at all.
