Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee - Food Republic (Closed)

fried oysteromelette $5.50: Because fried oysteromelette tends to be rather oily, I requested for less oil for my order. It was still oily but less oily. The taste was pretty decent as well. The eggs were very flavourful and savoury. The oysters were fresh too. I liked that there were more eggs than starch used. The consistency of the starch was just right too. Overall, this was good. 

While we thought that we probably had to squeeze with other patrons in the food court during dinner, we were wrong when we first stepped into food republic of west gate.

It's not too oily either and had this slight salty flavour, perhaps from all the fresh ingredients and seasonings added to this dish. Fantastic. Will definitely come back for more.

There was a newly open Foodcourt at Westgate basement, though the foodcourt was small as compared to neighbouring shopping mall, there was quite a number of stalls selling local fares.I ordered the Char Kway Teow. The wait for the order was quite a while as the chef freshly cooked when ordered.The Char Kway Teow had a nice "Wok" aroma and "Wok" taste. The Kway Teow was nicely fried with slightly spingy feel and not too oily. There was also chinese chives, chinese sausage and cockles which added
