Hainanese Curry Rice @ Maxwell Food Court, Singapore
After our URA visit, we went to Maxwell Food Court which is just across the road for a quick lunch..
Been hearing how sucky Singaporean food is if compared to Malaysian food and all, I had a hard time deciding what time eat..What’s more in a food court!
Walked around and scouted around, bingo! The stall with one of the longest queues..
There was only 2 stalls with the longest queue, at the time we (CheeChing, Jade, Jian, and I) arrived..
One is a ABC-selling stall..Another one is this stall, Hainanese Curry Rice..

So I queued up..It’s actually some kinda mix-economy-rice kinda buffet style..
While queuing i can already heard people ordering their food in Mandarin and all *gasp*..
My turn, the boss asked in Mandarin, “Dine-in or take away?”..
I replied, “Two rice, dine-in”..One for me and one for Jian..
Then I just pointed at the things that I wanted..Looked at the price board, so I chose prawns, eggs, and pork chops if not mistaken..
Costs around SGD 3.50 each..Okay, not bad..Around the same price as in Malaysia if you don’t convert, that is..

*Mine*
This is my garlic egg with fried prawns..

*Jian’s*
This is Jian’s garlic egg and pork chops..
Taste wise, quite good! Perhaps it’s my initial expectation is being set to a very low standard, the rice is actually very nice..
Okay the curry is very nice and very appetizing..Made me want more of it..Okay I just got a big appetite..
Asked around other people what’s nice and what’s not..So I ordered carrot cake..

*Carrot Cake*
There is white and black carrot cake..Logically, black means with black soy sauce and white maybe lesser..
So I thought black would be nicer..Ordered a big one, costs about SGD 3.00..
Shared with the others..Umm, not THAT nice coz I expected something nice since I’ve asked around already..
It’s a tad bit sweet, perhaps it’s the black soy sauce..The girls didn’t really like it..Jian was full..Ended up I finished like 80% of the plate..
Now you know what to order? *winks*
