We’ve been coming here for 30 years. Excellent fish head curry and chicken liver. The other dishes are not great, but what the heck, you should come here for the fish head and the atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. The new US Ambassador (who is Indian from India, not Native American) should come as a neighbour to renew with his roots.
The food is decent, but not nearly as good as any of their equivalent at local restaurants or hawker centres - satay, kueh pie tee, laksa, nasi lemak, char kway teo,teh tarik, etc - at triple the price because you have to pay for the nice environment.
Service is friendly but very slow. The advantage of that is you can linger on and chat without any pressure for additional consumption.
The chicken rice is ok, but certainly not among the best we’ve had - not even in the top 10 in Singapore. The rice is not very fragrant. Confirms the fact that Michelin is not qualified to judge Asian food.
Excellent pao fan. Reasonably priced. One of my fav stalls at Taka food court.
Take away to be consumed in office. Deshelled chilli crab is delicious , and not messy. The pork is flavourful but a bit tough.
One of the few places that serve both herbal and peppery BKT, and they’re good too. Always a Q at meal times, although service is very efficient so the wait is not long. Reasonable pricing for a non-hawker stall eating place.
The fact that this joint has been in the Michelin guide for 4 years in a row is yet another confirmation that the Mich inspectors are clueless when it comes to judging non-western cuisine. The sambal is pretty unique, but otherwise the rice is not fragrant and the chicken very meh.
At the Lucky Plaza outlet, they even serve it in a paper box with plastic utensils - useless for the not-so-tender chicken.
It’s strange that the various outlets of this small chain don’t serve the same dishes. This one has an excellent peranakan fish head curry not offered elsewhere. Worth making a trip for it! No chicken feet, though.

Yummy halal fried chicken, moist inside crunchy outside, with a healthy dose of sambal.
Not the best claypot rice, but good enough and they have individual portions if you dine alone. The herbal are decent . Convenient location .
The worse thing about Nae:um is that it’s extraordinarily difficult to book a table. The fusion food is exceptional, lots of French influences but still retaining a Korean soul. Excellent service by friendly staff. Michelin got it wrong again: Nae:um deserves two stars!
