I should mention the fact that HoroBoy is supposed to be on a diet (ya IKR! So skinny still need to diet. Can die!) due to his upcoming TKD competitions.
He has to maintain under 34kg for this weekend (23/8)'s competition and go under 33kg for the National's happening in September. He's currently 33.3kg so from now till September, he needs to lose another 400g (damn sian, no fried food)
Anyway, back to the main point of my post. I was out buying lunch after an appointment and decided to swing by Bedok Simpang cos I read somewhere that they've revamped the former food centre.
I was specifically looking for the stall "Uncle Chicken Rice". The owners are descendants of the former Sin Kee who operated from Margaret Drive. After relocating to various places, they've congregated once again and are now in Bedok Simpang.
Decided to go for their most basic Hainanese Chicken Rice to try the quality.
Also ordered the Lou Ding Set for HoroBoy cos I promised him something nice.
Soy chicken, mustard greens, boiled egg with ramen noodles. HoroBoy says that "it's okay." He likes the chicken and egg and would rather have it with rice. He likened the noodles to instant noodles without the MSG. 😅
So conclusion of the food is that it's probably a 7 out of 10. Nice enough but not spectacular.
I would however like to go back there one evening, perhaps with Horo and some friends to makan and chill out.
Rather fancy the quaint and somewhat eclectic decor that has injected a new lease of life in the former food centre, transforming it into a "hipper" food enclave. Given that on the ground level, it's hot with crowd and heat from the weather and the cooking from all the restaurants, this second level food enclave is spared the heat and noise (at least whilst I was there). It was bright, airy and breezy (probably from the fans but who cares) and the aesthetic presentation more than soothes any frazzled nerves.
A pie shop and the next one serves some western cuisine which I did not bother to check out cos I had to rush home.
And much, much more. If you happen to be there, do leave a comment in this post and let me know what you had, recommendations and comments about the place too.
