The Short Review

Price Range: $3-$24

Nearest MRT: one-north

Instagrammability: High -
Much care has been invested in the spray-painting of graffiti-esque murals; marrying a container concept with an industrial sheen.

The list of vendors pours on and on: Portico Platos (of Gillman & Dempsey fame), Teppei, Two Wings & Garçons (both hailing from Salute), Dancing Crab, The World is Flat (by Tanuki Raw), as well as a pantheon of well-loved hawker delights, some of which were there before one-north's resurrection.

Food:
1) Kaisendon - Teppei Daidokoro [$16.00]
Teppei's always reliable, and while its portion seems smaller than remembered, the standard still warrants a return visit.

2) Three Skewers & Onsen Egg Rice - Kush [$13.30]
We ordered the Soft Shell Chilli Crab Rice, but opening day issues plagued their deep fryer.

Essentially $13 for 3 average satays with a side of sambal kangkong & an onsen egg. We're looking forward to the next stall that replaces Kush.

3) Lobster Roll - Dancing Crab [$24.00]
Stale fries aside, the two brioche buns were a little on the over-buttered side. Lobster flesh and slaw was alright, though it's not spectacular.

4) Sticky Date Pudding - D. by Slake [$6.50]
While the date pudding was little too spongey and dense, the accompanying salted caramel gelato was pretty delicious.

Other outlets were still prepping, with The World is Flat opening during evening hours and Portico Platos launching on Monday, 4 April.
Dine-in items impose a $1 tray deposit, which can be refunded upon returning all utensils to a conveyor belt. Pretty cool stuff.

Live music during Wednesday to Saturday Nights. If you're feeling frugal, the adjacent cheap canteen food's got your back. Plus, it's just 1 bus stop away from Kent Ridge MRT; what a time to be alive in NUS.

Come Here: Again.
