I have always loved handmade noodles for its lovely texture compared to the mee pok or yellow noodles which I often dislike for its 'artificial' flavour. This noodles is a big disappointment since firstly, the soup base is too oily and salty for me. Secondly, as seen from the picture, I was merely given a few strands of vegetables and 2 mincemeat 'balls'- of which they were evident in the picture. The noodles was also average. Hence overall I was not satisfied with the meal at all.

This is the place to go for a quick fix of ready made BBQ chicken or chicken wings or pork ribs. Even though the BBQ items here may be more expensive than other stalls, especially to the BBQ food stall in NTUC fairprice at $8.90 per BBQ chicken, it is definitely worth the price! I have always liked the pineapple rice with the BBQ chicken wing and my favourite item has always been the BBQ pork ribs as they are well marinated and juicy. For today I bought the last honey glazed chicken and again this is not a disappointment as the meat is tender and goes very well with the rice. Do remember to ask for the chili sauce when u takeaway from the stall as they complement very well with the meat! Thumbs up!

This is the stall that one can always observe a perpetual queue, especially during the busy lunch hour. For most of my undergraduate days in NUS, I have always avoided Indian Food as I tend to associate it with hot and spicy ( since i am not a big fan of hot food), however it was until last semester when my friend was raving all about it that I decided to give it a shot. Since then I become quite a fan of Indian food (only if the queue is not too long). what I like is that they have a huge array of different kind of Indian side dishes and it can be a good alternative for a vegetarian to have his vegetarian meal other than the vegetarian stall since it has a good mix of vegetables and meat dishes. It is interesting to observe how the iinternational students all love this stall (perhaps curious or that one can hardly replicate such food back home) and the Indian uncle and auntie will always be more than willing to explain to them each different Indian dish, from the thosai to the tandoori chicken. I always love how big the portion they give and with one main and two side dishes that cost only $2.80, I can have a satisfying lunch. Kudos to the brilliant smiles and greetings by the Indian uncle and auntie and for this splendid, and to me, a very authentic Indian food

This will be my last time eating the Chinese Cooked Food at the deck. The quality of the Chinese cooked food has deteriorated over the years that I was in NUS- the portion used to be far bigger than what was shown in the picture. Even though there was no price hike compared to some other stores at the deck, the portion has become ridiculously smaller. Again it depends on who was the one dishing out the dishes to the plate- the aunty used to be very generous as compared to the uncle but unfortunately she has become more stingy, more often than not counting the number of pieces to be given. I had decided to give the store a shot after I was put off by the other long queues such as at the Muslim, Indian, Yang Tau Foo stores etc during the my short lunch break.

Look at the pathetic pieces of chicken I was given, and many of them were actually chicken skin. Even though I had paid $2.20 for a meal that supposedly consisted of 1 meat and 2 vegetables, yet the number of chicken chunks given was far less than the black fungus. The vegetables was a big disappointment- you may be thinking how bad can it get when it was just green vegetables. Well the vegetables was actually badly overcooked with a strong aftertaste of charred food. The potatoes was very oily too, which gave your lips a nice shiny gloss after eating it.

All in all, if you want to seek a filling healthier meal, please do not patron this store, especially when you are a female as I have observed throughout the years that the aunty and uncle seemed to love giving larger portions to guys and school staff ( with their distinguishable staff tags hanging in front) and exchange students ( and more specifically Caucasians ).

Initially I wanted to have lunch at the food court but I was put off by the massive lunch crowd hence it was while exploring the basement of the Star for other food options that I chanced upon the central hong kong cafe. I was first attracted by the facade of the cafe as it reminded me of the traditional hong kong tea cafe or 茶餐厅. After a quick glimpse at the menu outside, I was quickly ushered to my seats. There are two kind of seating in the cafe, either the outdoor or indoor. personally I prefer the indoor, for its ambiance, while others may prefer the outdoor for its slightly bigger seating space. Once u are inside, you will be immediately greeted by a massive picture of the legendary Bruce Lee, pictures of other Hong Kong stars as well as the nostalgic Canton classic such as 上海滩. Even the furniture pays close resemblance to the traditional Hong Kong cafe and the menu is presented in both Chinese and English languages.

Despite it being the lunch hour and the kitchen can get a tad busy, the service was good. The staff was friendly in responding to our requests. In my case, we had asked for a change in our tables as we were initially seated right underneath the fan and had felt cold. We were promptly changed to another table and our food was served quicker than expected too.We had ordered the Hong Kong milk tea with ginger ($2). I quite like the tinge of ginger taste with the milk tea.This is braised beef brisket noodle ($6). We were pleasantly surprised to see the large serving of noodles and the beef given the price. The noodles, I feel was cooked to perfectly as it was springy and not soggy ( a tell-tale sign that the noodles had been cooked a tad too long). I am not a big fan of beef as I was always put off by a certain distinct taste of beef hence imagine my joy as I have my first small bite of the beef- it is very tender and juicy and there is no such taste in the beef!We also ordered the stir-fry fish slice with bitter-gourd rice ($7.50). This I feel is really worth the money as the dish was served with a sunny-side up and a generous portion of fish and bitter-gourd, onions and bell peppers. Given such huge serving, I could only wish that I had more rice to eat with. The fish was deep-fried first before frying with the vegetables in the oriental preserved black bean sauce.For dessert, we have Pomelo mango cream (杨枝甘露 ) ($4). This is not a value for money as surprisingly, compared to the main course we had, the serving was pretty small with just a few chunks of Mango and a little sago and pomelo. The dessert is also a little too sweet for me and I feel that the puree is not as creamy and thick as I would have expected it to be.

All in all, a decent meal which can definitely filll up your stomach given the large serving. I had spied on the patrons next to me slurping on the Hong Kong Rickshaw noodles or 车仔面 ($4.50). Maybe I will try that next time!
