A simple gingko nut porridge can be so comforting .

It may just be gingko and porridge( and perhaps some beancurd sheets ) but there is something magical about this combination.

For those of you who are used to porridge which is well seasoned, this porridge is very very lightly seasoned - but that’s the beauty of it .

One of the rare places that sells gingko but porridge. Do order a portion of the chee cheong fun from this stall too :) really tasty with their home made chilli .

Blacklisted ....

I rarely blacklist any food establishment and this is probably my first .

The chicken was under seasoned , stiff and in no way reminiscent of sesame oil chicken. Most of the parts served were bones or what I call unwanted parts ...

I would usually ask for prices before I make an order but seeing that most of the chicken dishes cost between 8 to 10, I was complacent this time and took the waitress’ recommendation because she seemed so impatient in taking orders and was rushing through .

My eyes literally popped when I received the bill - this cost 20 dollars - even restaurants don’t charge such exorbitant prices , what more a coffee shop. It was explained to me that this was half a chicken served - but I really only saw bones and chips of meat .

Service was also rude and indifferent especially when I went to counter check the prices at the cashier counter .

I feel cheated ..... for the very first time .
I felt my accountant hat 🧢 drop to my knees 😭.....

Will never set foot to this place again ... 😖
