Next up on our food court-food center trail is Lavender! Parking can be a major pain in the tooth torturous and we ended up parking as far as the sports hall just to avoid waiting in vain for a lot.
Ah Long Pancake
Peanut Pancake ($0.90)
They specialise in pancakes with egg but I opted for the safer alternative. Made with a crisp layer and sprinkled with peanuts, it resembled Malaysian Food Street's skinny version but this was an in between of the plump and skinny which flopped over almost immediately when handed over to me.
It fell over so easily like a pancake lump, mostly bland and somewhat undercooked. Unimpressed despite its online popularity.
Kok Kee Wanton Mee
Wanton Mee ($4)
A paltry portion of sweetened scissors cut noodles served with char siew and dumplings. The side of chilli paste soy sauce was hardly the bomb as with most wanton mee stalls, hardly causing a spike in flavour.
Fried Wanton
Ordinary crisp fried wantons, unimpressionable.
Blanched Vegetables
Well just to meet the greens intake.
The bill came up to $16.50 for three dishes, an appalling sum after the dreadfully long queue, subpar taste and portions. Used to be located at Bugis Street, their stall sports one of the longest queues, next to Prawn Mee. Also voted CEO's favourite, I am wondering why.
Ju Hao Xiao Long Bao
Xiao Long Bao ($5.50)
The xlb obsessions has not ebbed one bit, I still jump at every opportunity to order it and this time round - it was a gamble that did not pay off. Sticky skin meets starchy meatball. Headed for doom when neither of us were clamoring for the rest beyond the first bite.
Satay
$0.50 each, min 10 sticks
$0.80 each chicken wing
A sorry case of terrible gone wrong. Bland chicken wings, equally bland satay with a peanut sauce too thick.
A really average food square with enough food options, queue or not I am baffled by the offerings.
