Dianxin @ Kopitiam<\/a> (Compass Point<\/a>)
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"dining-113.JPG\"The Kopitiam<\/a> at Compass Point<\/a> is pretty crowded at the times we have weekday dinners these days. That really has to do a lot with that the both of us are having dinners at the same time as everyone else – i.e after work at 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Hence, the only times when we don\u2019t have to scout around for free tables is when we eat at odd hours during during weekends.<\/p>\n

We had brunch on Saturday late morning; Ling stuck to her usual Grilled Mackerel. On my end, and for a change, it was a little Dianxin set meal that\u2019s sold at the corner restaurant near the entrance of the foodcourt. For $5 – and discounts apply if the patron is a Kopitiam<\/a> blue privilege card holder – I got an especially yummy three layered pork bun (or \u201ckong bak pao\u201d), glutinous rice, a side that tasted like yam, and prawn-based chee cheong fun. Each order of the latter is made on the spot, and it was the first time I\u2019ve seen this dianxin item get prepared. The pork filling for the bun was thickly coated with gravy. Sold singly it costs quite a bit ($1.30), but it\u2019s much tastier than the ones sold at coffee shops. Value wise you don\u2019t get too much food for $5, but it\u2019s food wise this one\u2019s really not bad.<\/p>\n
