I still remember the original malaxiangguo stall at JEM foodcourt years ago as it was my go-to! Came back recently and though the stall seems to have changed, the extra spicy MLXG I had was shiok max! Flavourful, numbing and with just the right kick. Totally worth the spice sweat!

Today I had takeaways for a claypot chicken rice and a fried chicken scrambled egg rice. The taste of the food was very good and both stall had friendly staff. The portion of the claypot chicken rice was a bit small for the price that they charged. The place was quite busy, could be due to weekend.

Many stalls offering good food here. I come here specially for the tang gui roasted duck. The western food that I ate today is great. The Hong Lim curry puffs and sardines also very good too. Will definitely come back for more and also to try out other stalls as well. Give it a thump up.

This Kopitiam is probably the best-decorated branch in the west. Relatively, when compared with HDB Kopitiam, this place is much bigger and prices are also on the higher side. As always, the food courts in malls are always crowded but we were able to get seats easily during off-peak. Tried a couple of different stalls and all were pretty good. Worth a second visit.

Impressed with the variety of food here, from savoury dishes to desserts. I only tried the claypot chicken rice with sausage — not bad. There’s even a Putien-owned stall “Mama”. Kopi was a bit diluted. The food hall is comfortable and clean but the lady cleaning tables was quite fierce. 😅 Will definitely return on my next trip to Singapore to try the fishball noodle, which locals say is a must-try.

Ordered sliced beef noodles. Cost about $8+ after Fairprice app discount. Service was good as they took in my special request to remove beans out, coriander and salted veg. Air con here is full blast, comfy and ok.
Also ordered lotus root pork ribs soup with white rice. Cost about $7.56 after Fairprice app discount. Service was also fast. I didn’t need to wait long.
Grilled Ayam panggang from Indonesian is also an all time favourite! Succulent chicken thigh, egg and veg with curry rice. Such a delight!
Superb service although it’s dinner time! Pleasant experience.

Pretty food court. A bit surprised they have so many amazing food. Too crowded during lunch time. Spotted Hong lim curry puff there.
Didn't get a chance to try it, perhaps next time.

Lao Fan Ji (老凡记）- Nice food at affordable price. Not too salty, delicious. Cozy environment at food court.

4 stars for food in terms of variety, I believe high rental rates is to ensure high turnover of stalls meaning that there are always new stalls.
1 star for service because no one cleans the tables, i serve myself and I return the tray myself.
2 stars for atmosphere because 5 stars for design and deco, very good effort. minus 2 stars for cleanliness and sticky floor, minus one more star for low height ceiling meaning it can get very noisy.
Also, Kopitiam aims to give some sort of nostalgia by using old and blackened bowls, just like in the 60s,80s. Not sure if it is carcinogenic but I'm sure that's not intended.
