Ang Mo Kio Hub and S11 Kopitiam

Another post in the budget department. It was a Sunday and so i went out with my parents on a simple family dinner, hopefully this dispels the suspense of whether or not i'm actually well-to-do. Truth to the fact, i'm all Singaporean and generally struggling financially (literally).

Address: Ang Mo Kio HDB Hub and S11 next to Jubilee (You can't miss it!!)

A1 Curry Puffs

Display Box and 'Bite-section' ($1)

To say i'm not a fan of curry puffs would simply be a big lie. Put simply, throw me any kind of puffs, cream puffs, durian puffs, custard puffs etc and i'll pretty much gobble them up before you can blink. However, i miraculously did not touch anything here, my mum did all the gobbling for this 'vegetable puff'. I do know that the puffs are indeed crispy due very much to the deep frying and layered way the puff is made, but for some reason, i still prefer the conventional Old Chang Kee puffs to this.

Don Don Japanese Cuisine (S11)

Kinda just happened to hear from my mom that the food here is good, but of course, good i subjective to what or who my mom heard it from. Still, no harm trying.

Chicken Nuggets ($4)

This is honestly NOT called chicken nuggets but i've unfortunately forgotten what its truthfully called and taste wise, it tastes just like nuggets from Mcdonald's minus the crispiness. Its definitely NOT worth a try though, even at its price.

Curry Katsudon set ($6)

It looked impressive when it came. I would never have expected this many items for $6 bucks. The rice wasn't as soft as it should be, the chicken was quite tender and crispy on the outside but has nothing to rave about taste wise. The curry tasted sweet, sour and not spicy in the least, thats a good thing for me. The miso soup was very very bland and practically tasteless while the toufu was forgettable as well.

Ebi Tempura Set ($6.80)

I'll skip on the toufu and miso since its practically the same. The tempura was obviously not fresh but isn't bad to the point it couldn't be stomached. The prawn didn't taste sweet or anything vaguely near the word good to me but you can't complain about the portion size and number of prawns given the price really.

The bill

$16.80 for a filling meal for me and my sister is decent but food quality wise is just not up to standard, which is disappointing after my mom's recommendation.

Chicken Porridge and Vegetable Mee Soup.

These are what my parents had. Really simple dinner huh? Nothing special, totally Singaporean. =P

Score:

Food : 5/10
Value for Money: 5.25/10

Overall: 5.125/10

Last Word:
Well, what can i say? Its hawker fare and totally nothing about it captures my attention or taste buds. I won't say i won't be back but at least for this particular stall, its just not worth the stomach space.
