Tucked in a quiet corner of Suntec is this bustling cafe WITH AN ACTUAL QUEUE of approximately 10 people. The food here is cheap and good -super affordable at only around $4 per plate, with a good selection of mee siam, laksa, various nasi lemak choices as well as chee cheong fun/siew mai/bao. You'd want to try anything that has their chilli in it (i.e. Nasi lemak) but the other dishes are pretty good too in my opinion.I ordered the laksa at $3.80 (with cockles instead of prawns because who does
I ordered the laksa at $3.80 (with cockles instead of prawns because who doesn't love cockles in their laksa ) after queuing patiently. I have to say though, service is really efficient and you get served quite quickly -they are also generous with their portion and I'm glad to say they slabbed on a huge dollop of chilli into my laksa when I said I wanted chilli -marvelous!
The laksa is rich and 'lemak', with this wonderful aroma of laksa leaves. The noodles aren't overcooked, and it goes just right with the gravy. The chilli, when mixed in, makes this dish utterly divine and I would have to say I'll definitely have more of this laksa!! The gravy was also piping hot and made for a perfect rainy-afternoon lunch. Prices varie across different Qi Jis if I'm not mistaken, I had nasi lemak at the Nex branch and I remembered it to be more expensive than the Suntec outlet. Still good nevertheless, and definitely still reasonable.
