Hotplate set @ Kopitiam (Tampines Mall)
Surprisingly, even after having spent nearly 7 weeks working at my new work place, the both of us still haven’t spent that much time at Tampines Mall. A lot of it I think has to do with the massive crowds that hit the mall every evening; parking is a problem, and traffic pretty congested on the roads that lead to and away from the mall.
Still, Ling wanted to catch Charlotte’s Web before we left on our honeymoon, and a Tuesday evening was the best time for us to catch it. Ling loved the movie while I thought it was rather just average. Dinner was at the Kopitiam on level 4, and at 8:45 p.m. the foodcourt was still filled with crowds.
The plate on the right is a Hotplate set, sold at the Carona Chicken stall. For $6 – less if you have the Kopitiam discount card – you get the rice that seems to be identical to that served on the other commonly seen chicken-based fare, a small vegetable side, soup (that was almost tasteless), an egg, and a meat portion that you select from a variety. In my case, I went with Teriyaki beef, and it turned out to be pretty yummy. The hotplate was set on a heavy wooden tray too, and visually it looked pretty appealing and, depending on your leverage, could just improve your dining experience. The entire set was slightly expensive though, so as delicious as this stuff was, it’s not something many would want to eat on a frequent basis.
- Food = 7 / 10
- Value = 2.5 / 5
- Overall: 3.2 / 5. Soup was mediocre, rice and veg were average, but meat was fabulous. If the price was around $4.50, I’d eat this every time I hit Tampines Mall.
