We decided to give the Palette at Capitol Piazza a try on a sluggish Sunday afternoon, and good thing we did.

Tucked in the basement level, Palette is reminiscent of the typical atas indoor hawker food courts (something like a food republic). However the selection is quite good and we were chuffed to find an Ah Koong.

Although not spectacular, the food really hit the spot in a secret guilty way only crack cocaine can match. Flavourful slightly greasy noodles with salty crunchy bits and the spiced fishball soup were the perfect hungry man's teatime snack.

We arrived grumpy, we left happy. So consider it a cheaper alternative to your weekly therapy session. Enjoy!
