Jurong Point is easily my favourite shopping mall, no points for guessing why... but following the features on LENAS, Pizza Hut, Seoul Xpress, Old Town White Coffee, Benten Cafe and Ji De Chi... here's one restaurant of the local delights: Grandma's! This popular franchise popped up along the basement of this shopping mall in December 2013, and provides an awesome alternative for those who wants to eat the classic Singapore dishes yet don't want to brave the heat. Air-conditioned places and loca
There is an ongoing promotion at Jurong Point - Spend a minimum of $8.90 on a bowl of noodles (a few choices available including Ipoh Kway Teow Soup, Dumpling Soup with Noodles, Chicken Noodles, Fish Noodles Soup) and get to buy their Chicken Rice at $1 (U.P $10.90)!
Once seated, a basket of keropok ($1.80) was presented on the table. I thought I only needed to fend against appetizers with hidden charges at dimsum restaurants, but I was wrong. Nevertheless, their keropok was really crispy - worth a try.
The Dumpling Soup with Noodles came in a minimalist white bowl with springy mee kia. What's more, their ingredients are extremely generous with four huge dumplings stuffed with prawns. Reminds me of how grandmothers always do that to feed the children well. A good place to invite foreign friends to try local cuisine without squeezing with the crowd. The whole bowl of noodles was really flavourful and I gobbled it up in no time.
Grandma's Signature Chicken Rice was surprisingly good. The rice was chicken-rice fragrant (though not soft enough to contend with Tian Tian's and the best of hawker centres) and sufficiently oily. The chicken on the other hand, met expectations for it to be tender and smooth. Although I wasn't a fan of chilli sauce, I had to try it - piquantly spicy and strong, this chilli sauce packs a bomb!
Some handmade Milo ($1.80) that was a little diluted and a little too sweet for my liking... oh well, the bar is set too high by my favourite Milo vans.
