Signature Dishes
As a large family, we ordered almost every dish they had. I must say that I would only recommend their laksa strongly. The ok dishes are:* chicken rice* laksa fried rice* prawn noodle* Soft shell crab with Chilli CrabThe please-don't-order dish was Mee Siam! It's weird tasting! It was so weird that we just left it untouched. The meal turned out to be not too satisfying and also not cheap! I probably won't return again, maybe for a single bowl of laksa?

Prima Taste Kitchen is located in a "hidden" passage down in The Centrepoint shopping mall. Although their Kitchen had been there for quite sometime, I believe that many of the shoppers would still have missed out the stretch of eateries in Centrepoint Mall just like me. Prima Branding has been going steady and strong offering Singapore's cuisine through its convenient method all these years. With its innovative readily packed pastes and premixes sold island wide in convenience stalls illustrated with idiot proof cooking steps, they were well-liked by all. Today, they are very successful and Prima is hardly a stranger to any local.Design and furnishings of the restaurants were vibrant and young, installed with linear tracks lights and strong spinning ceiling fans in the air conditioned environment. Ambiance was cosy and patrons can enjoy the live demonstrations of chefs cooking through the showcase kitchen. Just beside the cash register counter, Prima had allocated a booth whereby one can buy their premixes and pastes, including noodles. A few tourists were seen grabbing some of the packs off the shelves after trying out the Signature's Cuisine at the stall, I guess they must have given a few nods to the taste of Prima Kitchen's delicacies.Not only was Prima innovative in their pre-packed pastes and mixes, they did it again with a twist through their serving menu. Just with a cost as low as $9.50, one get to enjoy 3 sampler bowls of our local cuisine. Available in 6 kinds of dishes, we had them all ordered for our dinner. Dishes were as follows1) Mee Rebus(2) Prawn Mee(3) Laksa(4) Satay Bee Hoon(5) Mee Siam(6) Hainanese Chicken RiceSampler bowls were rather small and its portions reminded me of those bowls of noodles bought during my Primary School Days in the Tuckshop. One can easily finished the bowl of noodles in 3-5 mouths.Alright, my dinner is here. Look at the wide spread of local cuisines on our table! I would highly recommended this place if you have a guest from abroad. Do let them have a one stop taste of Singapore's Delights in Prima!Mee Rebus, a traditional malay dish featuring noodles served with a rich sweet and spicy sauce, topped off with bean curd cubes, egg and prawns. Black sauce and vegetables were also added to further enhance the taste.Prawn Mee was excellent especially when its stock tasted full of prawn flavours. They must have spent long hours cooking the prawns heads and shells to obtain such a rich taste.Laksa served with rice noodles, prawns, fish cake, cockles and Tau pok. The gravy was rich and lends a thick creamy texture packed with coconut fragrant,if this style floats your boat.Prima had never failed to disappoint - With a generous portion of Satay Sauce drenched over the strands of fine bee hoon on my sampler bowl. This scrumptious dish was also served traditionally with pig's liver, lean meat and prawn. Yums!Mee Siam tasted traditional and refreshing. Bee Hoon was served in a tangy sweet-sour tamarind gravy in an assortment of garnishes as well as sambal chilli. Overall, featuring an authentic Singapore Dish!Enjoy the mouth watering portions of tender chicken meat over the pandan fragrant rice with chicken stock, presenting our Local Hainanese Chicken Rice.The popiah took sometime to be prepared. The rolled was wrapped and filled tightly with shredded turnips, slices of eggs, prawns and vegetables. The reddish spread of chilli could be easily seen through the translucent Popiah skin roll which looked orangy under the lights. Moist enough and the only letdown I had was that it lacked the crunch from the turnips as they were finely cut, a bigger shred will make it better.Lychee Sensation? What's that? Preparations of the drink was rather straight forward. It's a mixture of lychee in its syrup together with sour plum in the drink. The unique taste was supported by the big plum that had drowned in the drink. Sweet, Sour and Salty. Perfect!The friendly and jovious server had spoken on behalf, "Singapore's Best Chendol" he mentioned. I couldnt agree more. Sweetened with Gula Melaka, ingredients were plentiful. Do leave a space in your stomach after your meal for this!Total amount summed up to be $34.15. As a local, I would say every sample bowls of Cuisine rock my socks off! Factoring that its a sample bowl, the ingredients were never compromised and quality was definitely there. Worth it!

Prima Taste Restaurant is situated at a secluded corner of Centrepoint. You must know how to weave your way to get there. This restaurant caught my eyes as it served local delights at a reasonable price. However, there is limited seatings available. So be there early... I had the 3-in-1 variety dish which I can select from the local delights menu. I had satay bee hoon, prawn mee and chicken rice. Don't be mistaken by the small portion in each bowl. After eating 3 servings of 3 types of food, I was filled to the brim. I think this is a really good idea to combine 3 different dish into one. Good to try it out. My family members had curry chicken with rice as well as hokkien noodles. Will be back here again for meals when I am shopping at Orchard Road~

It was mid day snack time & I spotted Prima Deli, so decided to pick up a snack from there. So I picked up a cheesy stick. It is a long bread stick baked with grated cheese over it. I never expected to be sweet, but there was sugar sprinkled on it. But it was nice, mildly sweet & cheesy. It was fresh as well. I enjoyed it along with my evening cup of tea. I have tried stuff from Prima Deli before & I like their stuff. The chessy stick costed about 1.5 $. I did not try any other stuff from Prima taste Kitchen but am looking forward to try it out.

he first thought that came into my mind when the Chendol was served was 'so big serving, am I able to finish it?' I actually had Chendol less than 5 times in my life as I would normally order an ice kachang or other desserts in food centres. I don't remember seeing such large serving size of Chendol in food centres though. The first thing that caught my attention was the gula melaka. I stared at it in horror at the gooey pile resting comfortably, taking its desired shape across the ice. No way I wanted so much sugar intake that day! Besides that, the sight of those beans disgusted me as I am not really a fan of them. Worse still, now that they had got bigger. After mixing all up, as expected it was too sweet. I could not stand the sweetness and requested for more ice. With the extra shaved ice, the taste was just awesome. Fragrant from the gula melaka and coconut milk, chunky from the grass jelly and the green worm-like jelly made from rice flour. Not that I am fussy, but having too much jelly really irritated me as the drink should be the priority.
