The Cook House - also Koufu is located on the highest floor of JEM. Its layout reminds me of ION Opera, with interestingly decorated seating partitions. I went for the least adventurous stall in here, Roasted Delight. Generally the chicken/duck rice stall would be a good gauge of the standard of the food court.
I ordered the Char Siew Wonton noodles for $4. It is a set with the noodles, a few strands of vegetables, char siew and the bowl of wonton. There are three wontons inside the soup, which I think is quite generous as compared to the Pontian wonton set.
The noodles was quite a disappointment because of the sauce it was immersed in; there was too much sesame oil such that the sauce tasted bitter. The noodles were also clumpy and difficult to extract. The char siew was ok, slightly burnt and hard but still more edible than the noodles. I could not finish the noodles despite being rather hungry. The wonton was chewy and delicious, but obviously filled with MSG flavouring. I think they should rely less on artificial flavouring and put more natural ingredients into the food.
The service was good though, the food was prepared within less than one minute. I am quite turned off by the white stains on the cutlery though, but all of them looked unclean so I just closed one eye and used them anyway. Even if there is a huge crowd at the new shopping mall, they shouldn't skimp on cleanliness.
