[CLOSED] Just Acia (Bedok Point)

Now that self-service buffet has resumed, to join the “buffet” party without burning a hole in my wallet, I visited one of my favourite no frills joint with free flow ice cream and drinks. While the food itself is not free flow, it’s always good to have just one portion of mains, and then unlimited portions of drinks and dessert. That being said, the portion for the spicy cheese and chicken ramen was so huge, making me feel like I was at a real buffet.There was a generous amount of chicken slices in the noodles, and the soup was decently flavourful with an adequate spicy kick. An affordable, decent, and filling noodle option here.

Had the creamy salted egg chicken spaghetti the last time I came and it did not impress me much, but the creamy tom yum chicken fared way differently. The sauce was a good balance of creamy, sour, and spicy, coming together with a pretty generous amount of chicken. This is definitely filling enough for a small eater, and even if you find the portion for this on the smaller side, fret not as you will be treated with Just Acia’s quintessential free flow ice cream after.

Wanted fried gyoza but for some reason they have them in a set but not as a side, so went for the steamed dumpling. This paled into comparison to the main dishes. Dumplings were thin and not as filled with ingredients as I’d like it to be. The vinegar and light sauce combination did not help in making this side anything remarkable. That being said, I would probably go for other sides in the future.

Just Acia holds a lot of nostalgia for me, especially because I remember it as the place to go for affordable set meals and free flow drinks and ice cream when I was a secondary school student. It is unfortunate to hear that Just Acia closed its longstanding outlet at Dhoby Ghaut xchange, but I believe you can still find it at Pasir Ris, as well as Bedok (where I went). Possibly because the food seems like a classic canteen style food that does not focus on quality but rather, affordability, which has made it less enticing. Furthermore, with inflation, prices cannot safely say that they are affordable, as compared to hawker centre prices.

I went for the spicy chicken and fried gyoza set, which honestly surprised me. Granted the gyoza was that of frozen gyoza that can be said was subpar, especially because it was not crisp enough, the spicy chicken was pretty good. The spicy sauce was flavourful and… really spicy, which went very well with the white rice and kimchi. Overall, the portion was decent, and I think what will make the price you pay truly worth it is if you get your fill of drinks and ice cream. The drinks range from soft drinks to coffee, and the ice cream flavours rotate each time. There is a slight hassle due to the pandemic regulations when it comes to taking the free flow items, but do be patient as service staff would need time to attend to your requests.

The creamy salted egg spaghetti was a tad bit disappointing in my opinion. The salted egg flavour was lacking, and the creaminess felt overwhelmingly milky. It is not so much of an Alfredo creaminess either, so I could not make out much of the whole creamy salted egg sauce flavour. I just did not really enjoy it. The chicken cutlet was your basic chicken cutlet you can find it cai fan stalls. There were also some mushrooms in the gravy.

The set comes with free flow drinks and ice cream!
