My friend and I went for a short tea break after shopping at Bugis for the entire morning. Looking at the menu, we decided to try out their french toast which looks quite good.

FOODFrench Toast

It's quite crispy on the outside, and quite soft on the inside. And with the combination of the sweet-smelling maple syrup and melting butter, it really taste so awesome!

PRICE

The price of their food items is rather affordable to all. Not too expensive. They have a few dim sum for people who would like to have afternoon tea!

So my family and I came here for a dinner after it's newly renovated. We had the set menu for 10 pax at $488++

FOOD
Since it's a Teochew restaurant setting, their first dish of the set menu is the Teochew-styled platter which comprises of slices of duck and pork, some pieces of tau pok, and many quarters of braised eggs. It's quite salty if eaten plainly without rice.The scallops are well marinated with the XO sauce and the broccoli is well-cooked - not too hard or soft.One of my favourite dish in the set menu. The fish skin is quite crispy, tantalizing one's tastebuds. The prawns balls on the other hand tastes more like a sotong ball though.The gravy is one of my "grading criteria" that I look for when tasting the different ways fish are being cooked. For this particular dish, I like the gravy. Not too salty, and is rather sweet-smelling, which makes it appealing. The fish maw are soft and soggy, which are easy to bite. Taste good too!The teochew-stlyed noodle, which has those standard ingredients cooked elsewhere. Taste quite bland and dry. Lastly, this desert is my top favourite for the day! It's a newly-created desert that is wrapped by a coconut, which has coconut ice-cream and coconut pudding in it. The serving is topped off by lotus seeds, which creates the feeling of nuttiness in your tastebuds!

SERVICE
I have always admired the service of Tung Lok Group Restaurants. I think their staffs are trained in a certain way that they must present the best service so as to promote the company's goodwill in customers. The staffs here will take the initiative to take extra chairs for you to place your bags on it, so that you can sit back comfortably on your chair. Brilliant move!

Fried Fish Soup - $4.30

I'd always loved the fried fish soup over here. The fish fillet is crispy on the outside, but soft and tender on the inside. The soup is also quite tasty. Usually I would request them to add milk to it. Their milk smells quite nice, which makes the soup tantalizing! They also add many ingredients to it, like vegetables, toufu and tomato. It's quite filling to the stomach if you finished the whole bowl of soup. Alternatively, you can request to add a bowl of rice for $0.50 if you think having soup alone is not enough for a meal.

Tried out one of KOI's new creations:Mango Macchiato - $3.20

I like the strong flavour of Mango, and it's quite a refreshing drink to quench your thirst! However, when the cream starts to mix with the mango, it taste very sweet, even though I have already reduced the sugar level to 50%. The mixture taste not as nice as the black tea macchiato though. MY favourite is till black tea macchiato.

Another thing that I like about the KOI outlet is that they provide chairs for customers to sit down and charge their phone. They provide plugs and even charger for iphone users! how awesome is that! A good waiting place to sit and play with your phone without the worry of draining your battery away. It's also a good place for friends to sit down and chit chat after dinner..

Here comes the "atas" chicken rice...Great packaging leaves great impression. But that's a price to pay for. And that's $7 for a packet of chicken rice.

Personally, I feel that it's totally not worth it. The grains of rice may be very fragrant and smells different from the other, but the chicken is not tender and smooth at all. It's quite stiff, and makes chewing not so pleasing to the teeth. So it's not really worth it to spend $7 for a packet of chicken rice at MBS Food Court. The rent is quite high, which explains for the pricey food court.
