The chicken from Arabica Kebab at Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre offers great value at $12 for a half portion of spring chicken, served over flavourful basamic rice.
It's both enjoyable and satisfying, making it a worthwhile dining option.
Iced chendol to complete the meal.

Newer stall than the rest. Good seafood flavour, but the puffed rice was useless. Very generous ingredients. The fish paste surprised me because it's my first time seeing it.

One of the OG claypot prawn stores, tucked away in a quiet industrial estate near Republic Poly. Dropped by on a Tue night and there were just a few tables filled, mostly having the prawn claypot. The base claypot costs $32.80 and comes with 12 big prawns. Though the broth wasn't as rich as Hae!'s, I think it is the more balanced out of the two and would not result in the 'jelak' feeling even towards the end of the meal. We also opted for a few other side dishes to add to the claypot - wouldn't say that the price is cheap, but overall the meal was still affordable considering you get free flow of various dipping sauces, unlimited refills of the soup, and even plastic gloves. Also, the toilet was surprisingly decent. Parking is also free!

Yet another moment where the Golden Arches have released a limited time-only item in their menu — the current seasonal offering being a line-up of Mala-inspired items that will be progressively rolled out on in their stores starting with the Mala Chicken McCrispy, Potato Pops and Corn Pie from 30 October 2024 onwards, and then with the Smoky BBQ Shaka Shaka Chicken McBites and Mala Crispy Chicken Burger being subsequently introduced on 7 November 2024 and 14 November 2024.

Wasn’t that much interested with the Corn Pie considering our preferences, so we found ourselves opting for both the Mala Chicken McCrispy and the Potato Pops during our visit to the McDonald’s outlet at The Woodgrove to give the line-up available from 30 October 2024 a try. The outlet doesn’t seem to be the best spot to give the seasonal offerings a go especially considering how they don’t seem to fry things well enough here — the Mala Chicken McCrispy that we had gotten felt a little soggy and not as crisp as we would have expected things to have been. That being said, it does seem that the folks at the Golden Arches has managed the flavour well — there is definitely that hint of fragrance that one would associate with Sichuan peppers that is pretty prominent, while it also does come with a spicy kick which should be well-manageable for those whom have moderate tolerance to spiciness. We didn’t quite catch the numbing sensation that the Sichuan peppers were supposed to provide however.

We also wished that the Potato Pops were better fried considering how they were a little limp with some pieces actually being stuck together — these are essentially Tater Tots that comes with spicy chili flakes that do provide a slight kick of spiciness; again, something that would be manageable for those whom are tolerable to moderate amounts of spiciness. Whilst we aren’t too enthusiastic about the Potato Pops, the Mala Chicken McCrispy does seem to get us a little excited on how the Mala Crispy Chicken Burger would be like — perhaps something which we would consider giving a go once it gets released on 14 November 2024!

It's coconut, but I think there was some gula melaka added.

Acceptable flavour but quite little filling.

The bkt is ofc as good as ever

Can't rmb if I've reviewed their pigtail before, but it's reasonably tender. They cook it to the same texture as the pig trotters, not the melt in your mouth kind but more than tender enough. On the plain side tho, as the pork ribs tend to be as well

It's almost funny how close the flavour is to the canned versions. However given it's freshly cooked the texture is better

Having it again, I'd say the texture is still good for what it is, but I don't think the flavour is so impressive. Is their slightly herbal sauce, only drizzled over so it's abit mild

This was pretty good. A sweet style braise which wasnt too sweet at all, with minor herbal notes like their soup, which is different from the ubiquitous herbal style that has a strong sweet aftertaste. On top of that, there's a bit of heat

Quite tender too

Good ver
