Review

Masarap ba ang mga putaheng ito? Nasi Lemak as I remember, is known as fatty rice. Rice soaked in Coconut Cream or "gata" as we call it in the Philippines. I am a fan of flavored rice so I went looking for this hidden restaurant which they say has the best Nasi Lemak in Yishun. It is located somewhere near the landed areas of Sembawang. It is near the pet shops and other service shops like bikes, computers and billiards. It is very hard to notice that it is there. Anyway, as I eat the rice with my super delicious sweet and sour crispy chicken, I asked the waitress what was the restaurant's name. She said it was "the original" and truly enough when I looked at the sign board, it said "the original." They haven't move for decades and so they were stuck in that place far away from other hawkers.

Review

Masarap ba ang mga putaheng ito? The cafe is perfectly located at the middle of the furniture store. Just the perfect place to take a light snack after roaming around the store. The chicken wings were cooked perfectly and it doesn't need any sauce. The outside covering is very crispy and the burnt brown color is very tempting. The meatball was ok. The gravy sauce is a bit watery though. They put strawberry jam at the meatball plate and it is greatly mixed with the mashed potato, gravy and the meatball. All in all, this is a perfect place to take a light, delicious snack if you are tired or just plain hungry from shopping in Ikea.
