This is for a fast meal after work. Limited seating capacity. I was lucky to get one after a short wait. Ordered their braised pork vegetable rice. Fragrant dish braised for hours. rather oily as they used the part of pork with fats. But it is this that makes the dish taste nice. It would not taste the same with lean pork. Overall, can try especially when you are in a hurry.

I had a meet up with an old friend at this outlet of Manhattan Fish Market as there were coupons from my last visit. The offer of 1 for 1 is too good to resist. We ordered the palette and dessert for me.
Palette's fish is good as always from this chain. the clams are slightly fishy smell. if this part of the dish can be improved, the palette will be perfect.
I top this off with a brownie. i would love it to be slightly warmed with a delicious scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Service wise for this outlet, perhaps due to heartland, service is not always prompt. we had to request for water top up. the crew is not so attentive as those from town outlets.

Fancy a dinner without needing to squeeze or queue for your food. Try this EspresSOUP at Jurong Point Level 2, Between JP1 and JP2. The restaurant is kinda "open" but not much of the crowd passes by this area.

Our food was served rather fast. We ordered the signature soup with the square bread top up and a chicken bacon burger. The staff took initiative to help us 'upgrade' our order so that we can enjoy savings and an extra cup of ice lemon tea. It will be even better if the staff can notify us beforehand, rather than do it by himself. But small issue here.

The mushroom soup is flavourful and smooth. The square bread presentation is of cos one of their main selling point, although it is essentially just plain bread.



However the burger is quite standard and nothing special to note.

First day of business for the mall and the stall. I was not exactly very hungry when I ordered my lunch, Beef noodle soup. I was lucky that there was no queue for the stall. The soup is delicious and pretty obvious with MSG addition. I loved their beef balls, I think they hand made them. It is chewy and Q!

The kway teow soup comes with generous portions of bean sprouts with enhanced the texture of the dish.

I was sourcing around for healtier choice of light dinner when I came across this stall at west coast hawker.

I ordered the minced meat balls only porridge with egg.
The stall owners are friendly and the waiting time was short.

I love the smooth texture of the porridge. Very well cooked, not too thick and not too watery.
Minced meat balls are given generously considering priced at $2.50. The egg was another $0.50.

Besides porridge I also tried their hot and well priced chee cheong fun. only $0.80 each.

Can give a try for those staying in the west craving for porridge and does not want to go all the way to chinatown.
