For the detailed review with photos, please check out http://thehungrybunnie.blogspot.com/2011/03/straits-kitchen.htmlI've always thought that Straits Kitchen is just a high-class food court, so I was pleasantly surprised that the quality of local cuisine served is generally (almost) on par with those of the more famous hawkers.

I've always thought that Straits Kitchen is just a high-class food court, so I was pleasantly surprised that the quality of local cuisine served is generally (almost) on par with those of the more famous hawkers. The small-ish restaurant is laid out like Mezza9, with different food stations in a marketplace-like setting. There's a bustling atmosphere, but with little nooks and crannies that afford a little bit of privacy to groups that want to hang out and talk amongst themselves without being overheard by other diners.
We had:
1) Roasted Duck- fresh (albeit a bit fatty), juicy, with nary a gamey scent
2) Poached Chicken - succulent and smooth, and delicately flavoured with soy
3) Soya Sauce Chicken -not as good as the poached version, but it was still commendable
4) Chicken Rice - faint garlic and chicken stock flavour, but unremarkable
5) Rojak- despite being a little "lao hong", had the right balance of piquant, spicy, sweet flavours
6) Popiah - freshly made upon order but too little sweet black sauce was used to coat the wrapper, resulting in a fairly tasteless version
7) Satay- fresh off the charcoal grill so it looked promising, but wasn't that great. It wasn't fatty or juicy enough
8) Mee Rebus- very good, it had the requisite aromatic, nutty, spicy flavours
9) Fried Rice - surprisingly fragrant, tasty and had the necessary "wok hei"
10) Fried Kway Teow - got quality, it was fragrant, heady and had plentiful seafood. Prawns were fresh, sweet and crunchy, but the squid was overcooked and rubbery
11) Chilli Crab - yummy gravy and crabs were fresh and sweet
12) Deep Fried Grouper - probably the best dish. This ran out in seconds. Fresh, mild, moist, with a golden crisp skin
13) Fried Dory with Oats - not fresh enough, and needed a lot of soy to cover the slightly fishy undertones
14) Mango and Soursop Sorbet - my fave dessert, a refreshingly tart way to cut through the grease and heavy meal
15) Jackfruit Goreng - fresh off the fryer, was sweet and juicy on the inside and coated with a thin, crisp batter
