First time trying this stall, tended my 2 young chaps with the mum sitting at the nearest table acting as cashier. Straight forward menu, chicken rice, ayam penyet and roti john. I ordered chicken rice and was prompted for the $3 or $4 version. I certainly did not regret the latter option, with a bigger piece of meat given and not rice. You help yourself to the utensils, chilli and dark sauce. The chicken rice is also served with a bowl of soup with lots of fried onions in it. 

The chicken rice taste fantastic, more specifically the chicken itself. It tasted freshly prepared and comes with slight crispy texture for the skin. The rice could be more enhanced with flavour though. The dark sauce on the other hand is not quite those suitable for chicken rice. Will certainly want to return and try their Ayam penyet next time.

2 new restaurants opened up in this basement 3 area, one is Nara Thai, the other is Itacho. If i'm not wrong, they actually replaced the former premises of burger king. Decided to give Nara Thai a try after hearing that this brand name actually originates from Bangkok and highly rated. 1st impression of the place is its nicely decorated with a huge wall feature decoration and nicely shaped lamps hanging overhead. The corner seats all comes with high backing. The menu is a grid like display of all the dishes, not common but it does attach each item with a photo, makes it easier to visualize what the potential food likes. The servers are divided between the host/hostess and the servers. The host will take the orders via a iPad mini. I was thinking why dun come up with a menu on the iPad and let the customer check and pick the item themselves. And immediately let them have a heads-up of the total bill. That actually can be a cool idea.I ordered Tom Yum Kung $19.90 (comes with prawns and straw mushroom in spicy lemongrass lime soup, the prawns are big i must say), Thai Fish Cake $13.90 (6 slices, with peanut sweet chilli sauce), massaman gai $15.90 (more of a sweet curry, and i found peanuts inside like those braised peanuts, interesting), green curry with chicken (the gravy goes very well with the fragrant rice), crab meat omelette $12.90 (comes with chilli sauce, nice texture with the crab meat minced) and Stir Fried seasonal vegeatbles with oyster sauce $10.90 (really good mix of vegetable, just that qty a bit small). For me the tom yum kung and green curry impressed me most. If i have to gripe, its probably the waiting time for the dishes to arrive, i had my dishes served minutes apart so that makes sharing dining a bit of a challenge. Also a suggestion for them is not to have the plate on the table from the start since they are serving by the plate (like the rice and individual portion mains) so that makes it a little redundant. I'm certainly keen to return for another tasting especially the interesting desserts on their menu.

There's currently a 10% promotion going on now. So it works out to be $23 per pax for me.

They are the only ci char stall within this club house. Prices are slightly expensive with the cheapest individual dish costing $6. I was late for my game so chose the Beef Hor Fun for $6. They do not offer the black bean paste option. It turn out to be quite a disappointment. It tasted a little bland, more like hor fun with beef slices. Hor Fun usually taste nicer if you have wok fried the kway teow before hand before cooking it with the starch solution but nbased on hte hor fun looks, they didn't. You could tell the beef was the frozen type and it was a little hard. Will probably not want to visit them again. Average waiting time was around 15 minutes. Its an aircon restaurant just beside the pool but does not offer a view. It seems popular with small one table gathering though. Parking is at $3 per entry after 5pm. Get carpark rebate if you are a safra member.

First thing you observe is you no longer see the crowd and the servers dun seem that familiar. I recall always seeing the uncle with black frame specs taking my orders. Anyway at this new location, they are just meters away from mustafa centre. Human traffic is there but parking may still be a concern. Tip will be to park at mustafa and leave within an hour, i remember mustafa is free parking for 1st hour or something. They occupied 2 units at this kim san leng coffee shop. From the signage i can see usual kang kong and toufu, but there's also dishes like sambal sotong and prawn. Initially they were also offering noodles and yam rice as an option but have since removed it from the menu. I ordered 1 person portion with porridge. I first tasted the sauce, glad the sauce quality was still good, sweet and slightly starchy. But the meat seems to have dropped in quality, i no longer taste the smooth and soft duck meat, this time it was slightly tougher and dry. Chilli is still the same, mixture of belachan and light chiili sauce. For the 1 pax portion and 1 porridge , it cost $5.50. Certainly hope the quality improves else at this kind of pricing in this area, they may struggle soon IMO. By the way, its self service now instead of being served.

Still not convinced that the Tokyo version is better, I decided to make a return to Menya Musashi. I ordered the ala carte Cha Shu Ramen Special which comes with the Black Tora Soup and also Dokko Octopus. This costs $15.90 before GST and the set lunch one cost $14.90, for a merely $1 more, you get one more cha shu and also the fried beancurd skin instead of the seaweed. It made me wonder if the set lunch is not value for money. Was hoping the server give some recommendations but no. Took around 10min for the food to arrive. Presentation wise not impressed, with the meat shielded by the beancurd skin. You get 2 round sized cha shu and half a tamago egg. Soup was nice, deeply flavoured but i find it a tad oily and most importantly could not bring back my memory of tokyo. The octopus is nice but pretty much many other places can match the quality. Overall just an average eat but if you would like a quiet ramen joint to eat on your own in the afternoon after peak hour, this is the place.
