This stall is popular for its variety of cuisine - from Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee to Sambal Fried Rice. We tried the Fried Kway Teow - minus pork and cockles.
The dish was okay - the Fried Kway Teow was piping hot and with just the right amount of sweet soya sauce. The chilli was also just right, but the dish was a little too oily.
The service was fast, but you have to be sure the order taker is clear about what you want or don't want. We had specifically mentioned TWO plates - without char siew and cockles, but only ONE plate was correct. This stall is in The Food Junction at Nex.
Overall, the Food Court is an average place to have dinner - one corner of this food court
has leaking air con pipes that have yet to be repaired ( for more than three months).
The environment is clean, but not spotless. It could be better.
Next time, I will try the other dishes.

Chinta Manis is a Peranakan Place that offers both Peranakan dishes and desserts.
This outlet is located in My Village, the new shopping experience in Serangoon Gardens.
This time, I wanted to sample the desserts.
The Chendol Jelly was really awesome! It was like eating the ingredients of Chendol
layer by layer. The top layer was that of the gula melaka and below that were the green 'worm' jelly strips and beans. It was a different kind of experience as I ate the dessert instead of the conventional method of having the dessert.
The other variation I tried was the Rainbow jelly. True to its name, it was multi-coloured
and contained coconut milk as well. The coconut milk added to the taste of this jelly,
that became addictive fast!
Finally, saving the best for last, I tried the Kueh Lopes.
It was really soft and melted in my mouth. It was unlike other types I had tried, which were too hard and tasteless. This one was really good. Despite having being kept chilled, it tasted fresh.
Overall, the desserts were fantastic, though the portions were really small!
Well, as they say, you can't have too much of a good thing.
The jellies cost $0.60 -$0.80 a piece while the Kueh lopes came in sets of 2 for $2.00.
There is a variety of jellies, kuih, cookies and cakes available.
The service is okay, but the staff need to be more proactive.
This is definitely my new haunt for desserts!

Visited Pow Sing at close to their closing time; so there was no more Signature Chicken Rice left. Decided to order from the menu instead. This newly re -renovated restaurant
reopened a few months ago - in the same location, but with a new look that makes take-away more accessible.
We tried the Signature Bee Hoon and Fried Hor Fun - both with seafood.
The Bee Hoon was lightly stir-fried in a special sauce that made the dish very tasty indeed.
At one glance, it looked like simple soup noodles, but upon tasting, it was really something else. It was wet but not soupy. It was filled with wholesome vegatables, seafood and fried egg. So it was kind of an in-between of wet and dry noodles.
The Fried Hor Fun was equally good - not too dry or oily.
There was a generous amount of seafood and it tasted great with green chilli.
Overall the two dishes were great, except that the portion was a little smaller than what we had received pre - re -renovation.
Price-wise, it was a little expensive, when compared with other similar set-ups.
The only problem would be the difficulty in communicating with the ''I can't speak English!''
waitresses. It was really an uphill task trying to tell her that we wanted only seafood.
Hopefully something could be done about that in the future.
All said and done, I will definitely be back for more!

This Indian cafe in NEX serves both North and South Indian cuisine.
It is an open-air cafe located in a strategic position in the mall.
Nobody can miss this cafe, given it's proximity to the Level 2 escalator and the almost fully-occupied tables at mealtimes.
One will be spoilt for choice due to the wide variety of food.

There are various rice sets, as well as naan, prata and thosai sets.
The Briyani looked inviting, so we decided to try the Mutton Briyani set that came with - Rice, Mutton Cubes and Gravy, Vegetables ( diced carrots) and Papadum.
The rice was soft, fragrant and not too oily.
However, similar positive remarks could not be made about the mutton.
The mutton did not taste as good as it looked and smelt.
In fact, it tasted a little stale- perhaps because the dish had been prepared using frozen, not fresh, meat. Most of the pieces were tough and rubbery.
The carrots were okay but the other two types of veggies were not.
The long beans had been overcooked, and the tofu was a little undercooked.
I'm not sure how early the vegetables had been cooked, but they should have been kept warm. The veggies were cold when we ate them.
Next, the chicken masala. This was good, but the portion was too big!
Perhaps, the staff should have the initiative to cut it up into smaller pieces - it was really quite difficult to wrestle with this huge piece of meat!

Overall, the service was average as the cashier was not completely well-versed with the different dishes. Price-wise, it was pretty okay, but the freshness of the food should be improved. As it is an open-concept Cafe, it can get noisy on a busy day.
Will i be back Well, would like to try the prata and naan the next time....

This stall serves Fried Hokkien Noodle and Carrot Cake, in addition to Fried Kway Teow.
The orders were taken promptly and the food arrived fast.
The Hokkien Noodle was piping hot and wet and full of large, fresh prawns,
but, in terms of taste, it was just okay.
As for the carrot cake, we tried the Black one.
There wasn't enough sweet sauce and the dish tasted quite bland.
However there was plenty of egg and the chives on the side added to the taste.
Overall, both dishes were just ok.
It seemed like the real old flavour from the past was gone....
