Local Hero Singapore Highpoint — Restaurant in Melbourne

Let's start with the good. The laksa broth is legit. Not curry at all. Spicy, rich and fragrant with laksa leaves. The noodles were a bit too soft for my liking so will swap with the wantan dry noodles next time. Still yummy with just the basic version for $14 with fish cake, egg and tofu. Not a bean sprout in sight either.

The okay. Dry noodles for $13 had great wirey bitey texture. With two pork wantans and an egg, I wanted to see if the sauce held up. It didn't. Tasty but not quite legit wantan mee. Flavour was not quite authentic but couldn't place my finger on what was missing.

The average. Chicken rice for $19. Rice was glutinous like and tasty. Chicken was tough for Hainanese chicken rice. Chilli was fragrant but lacked taste and spice. Ginger was oily and tasty. Soup had cabbage and was definitely not chicken soup. Gai wong has better chicken rice.

The down right bad. The nasi lemak was embarrassing. The amount of sambal given was ridiculously little (see photos). The rice had no fragrance or taste. The one saving grace was the crispy ikan bilis and kacang.

Spent $55 for two at a food court stall and would only ever order the laksa again with wantan noodles.

Update: Both my partner and myself experienced tummy upsets a few hours after eating the chicken rice. Bought takeaway the day before and was...

This is the best authentic Singaporean crusine ever in this shopping centre. Their hinanese chicken rice is the best ever. Chicken is very soft and tasty. Chicken rice is just full of chicken and ginger flavour. Serve with dark soy sauce, chicken rice chilli, ginger oil, this is just perfect. Nasi lemak rice is full of coconut flavour, roast chicken is tasty. The egg is a pan fried egg, but very soft, just like Japanese egg. The rest of peanuts and small fishes are crunchy, serve with nasi lemak is just perfect match. Sambel chilli clam is super tasty. Even though clam still have some sand and few shells without meat, but still worth the value. Sambel is super nice. Even though this is part of a food court, it is a very good surprise to have such nice authentic Singaporean food. Price is average, and size is bigger than hawker dish size. Worth to try. Plenty of nice small tables and chairs nearby. Food court is very bright with plenty of sunlight. This is inside a major shopping center on level 2, plenty of parking nearby and buses. Will definitely come back for dry noodles which is another famous...
