We were here for dinner after a celebration for National Day at Hong Lim Park earlier. Looking for a table near those popular tze cha stalls can be rather difficult during dinner on weekends. Happened to walk past this stall and right there, there were a few tables reserved by the stall. The assistant was extremely friendly and ushered us to an empty table and handled us the menu right there. Most of the dishes on the menu are those common dishes available at most tze cha stalls.

Most of the dishes on the menu are those common dishes available at most tze cha stalls. After browsed through, we settled for Fried Baby Squids ($10) and Sweet & Sour Pork($8). The rice is available at 0.50 cents per bowl.
The waiting time was a short one.
Fried Baby Squids ($10). The Fried Baby Squids came first. The portion was quite substantial to be share amongst 2 adults. It was a love at first bite. These baby squids were perfectly fried to give it the desired crispiness. It still tasted very much so even left it for a bit. It might be a challenge to the jaw muscle as these fried baby squids were extremely chewy. The smallest ones amongst them was especially so. The sauce has got a slight sweetness that enhanced its overall taste.The 2 bowls of rice served next.
Sweet & Sour Pork ($8). Sweet & Sour Pork came right after. After the lovely fried baby squids, i expected this to be equally delightful. I ended up feeling disappointed after had the first piece. Apparently, they did not fried those pieces of meat well to give it the crispiness before fried together with the sweet & sour sauce and the ingredients like pineapple, cucumber, onions and tomato. The sweet & sour sauce tasted rather average with no distinctive taste. I have tasted a much better Sweet & Sour Pork from another tze cha stall right in this food centre.My partner was telling me that he enjoyed the rice quite a bit. The texture of rice was grainy, fluffy and rather moist.
I did not quite understand why the 2 dishes were garnished with such big brunch of coriander. We ended up picking them out and discarded it.
Another tip to share is that corner is a bit too dark to take good food pictures without a decent flash or external light source.
There are few famous tze cha stalls in this food centre so i am unlikely to be back too soon.
