Nanyang Food Court is located at the far end of MBS Shoppes' Galleria Level, occupying the premises of the former celebrity chef restaurant Punjab Grill. The ambient lighting, booth seats and Ikea type wooden tables & chairs bear no trace of the former high end Punjab Grill. Apart from the Nanyang Cafe that sells beverages, desserts, toasts, nasi lemak, mee siam/mee rebus, there are threeother stalls inside viz Western Food, Chicken Rice and Thai Food. The Western Food stall is halal-certified a
The fish & chips was great value at $6.90 ~ similar to the prices of western food sold at food courts and neighbourhood coffee shops. It was almost 9pm when we dropped by and this food court was still buzzing with activity. I was given a buzzer after ordering my food and it rang about 10mins later signalling me to pick up my order. Two generous pieces of breaded dory fish, lots of crispy fries and a small scoop of coleslaw. It was a hearty portion and tasted good too.
The chicken rice cost $6.80. The rice was fragrant and flavourful without being greasy. I could eat this without any chicken. Anyway the Hainanese style chicken was excellent. I was served the thigh which was plump, juicy and tender. I like the succulent & gelatinous chicken skin which was wonderfully Q to the bite. The minced ginger sauce was addictive and the concentrated chilli packs a punch. Nanyang's version of Hainanese chicken rice beats the popular Sargeant Chicken Rice Stall at the Food Republic hands down.
So it is possible to have a hearty meal for less than $10 per head at MBS, even after a cup of Gong Cha milk tea for each of us from the shop one floor above at the Atrium (street) level.Post
