Food Junction @ Nex — Restaurant in Singapore

It's usually really crowded but it is justifiable. The food stalls here are pretty decent and I can name a few that I usually dine from:

1. Yukee duck rice. This stall is one of the many outlets they have around Singapore. And the food here has never failed to impress me. The duck rice is perfectly cooked with the right amount of flavour, paired with the braised duck meat, peanuts and pickles. What makes the dish even better is the homemade chilli sauce! It really really nice pairs with the duck rice. And not to mention the soup is REALLY tasty as well! I usually ask for a larger bowl of soup - it's that nice.
2. Fish Soup. Apparently this fish soup stall has won several awards (not sure if it was place there for show..) but the fried fish sold here are in THICK chunks of fish and the soup is very tasty too! I usually order fried fish soup, with milk and additional fried shredded egg. But they may have used MSG in the soup because you tend to get dried mouth and thirsty after downing the bowl of soup.
3. Korean food. The Korean food here has a dedicated place of seats and does not charge GST nor service charge (but they are of course included in the nett prices alr, hence it is not as cheap as the food sold at the main area). That said, prices are rather reasonable, though a little expensive considering the environment. I usually order the BBQ beef spicy soup which comes out to $8. I've tried their ginseng chicken, which was not very nice with the tough overdone chicken and soup not as tasty and not to mention the lack of ginseng taste - but it's for $9.80, so I'm not really expecting anything but it's not something I would order again. On the other hand, the BBQ beef soup has quite a decent portion of beef served and the soup is spicy and tasty at the same time. Overall, this place definitely does not sell authentic Korean food, that's for sure. But it is a quick fix for korean food that suits singaporean taste. The queue/business here has definitely gone down a lot since before the increase in price and I would say it would continue to go down if there is a second price increase.
4. Mala Xiang Guo. This store is ESPECIALLY popular among the Chinese. The ingredients selection are pretty fresh (not the meat though) but it's REALLY pricey. They do sell individual sets for about $7 but the meat used are frozen meat, which has a very strong smell (at least for the beef). Personally I think that if you want to try the food from this stall, pick only the vegetables. The spices here are generally tastier than the other MLXG I've had. If you're craving for a nice individual set of MLXG, I can suggest going to AMK hub's food fare upstairs that have a pretty...

I had the WORST experience with all the staff at the Fitra Chicken Rice stall today. A Malay woman who claimed to be 'in-charge' of the stall acted more like a gangster than a person in charge of a team. Her name was given to me as NUR. Likewise, a Chinese male worker (by the name of Hong, wearing glasses) who chops the chicken up also acted like a gangster when he spoke to me.

Basically, the 4 staff members (including the in charge person) were very disrespectful and rude when they served me. I had ordered a chicken noodle dish to takeaway and asked for extra noodles, chicken and veggies in my servings. I was prepared to pay whatever amount they would have charged me, but the staff started showing me attitude for no reason and this Malay woman in charge came out of the kitchen and spoke very harshly and rudely to me and told her staff to give me the food to me for free! I wasn't begging for food and yet she said it so loudly in the presence of so many customers and people!!

I was very humiliated by her loud accusing voice which eventually infuriated me! I gave them $20 for that simple food (which turned out tasteless) and told her to keep the change. The matter got worse when this lady and the Chinese worker started talking loudly using harsh tones on me! I finally told them off and insisted on getting their names and their manager's contact number. The Malay woman was very obnoxious and arrogant and challenged me to complain against them. I called up the manager who in turn called the landlord of the food court and an Operations Executive came down to speak to me! By then I was so furious with the whole lot of them and told them that I was going to write in an official letter of complaint against the staffs of Fitra Chicken Rice stall! I will never go back to that place again as the quality of the food, the extremely bad service and attitude of the staff and the exorbitant prices they charge for the food is a real put off!

This stall has had too many complaints against them according to a Supervisor working there. I'll warn everyone to be aware of this stall's staff's behavior, especially the in charge person - Ms. Nur! Such a disgrace to the company to have employed gangster-like staffs to serve customers with total disrespect!! Spoilt my Friday which started off...

There are 2 food courts in nex. Food Junction is larger but I usually go to Food Republic because the location is more convenient. Both food courts are usually very crowded during peak dining hours. After the renovation, Food Junction is not as squeezy and the seating areas seem to be larger. Another plus is that Food Junction stalls finally have electronically payment terminals that take credit cards (it was just NETS before), but both times I came (right after reopened, and on 8 Nov 2018), the terminals are down?!?! Totally can't take e-payment modes, making it worse than before. 😑 PLEASE FIX!! Aiyo it's 2018 c'mon. LSL would be displeased 🙊. PAssion card holders can get 10% off on weekdays, but note that unlike Food Republic, some stalls will charge an extra few cents for takeaways. Food prices on menu are roughly similar in both food courts.

Edit: The management should step up on training the stall cashiers on electronic payments and FJ promotions. The PAssion Card promo is not uniformly implemented in practice. Some cashiers require that I pay by the PAssion Card (debit card) while some said I must pay by cash to enjoy the discount. The promotional materials on FJ website and at the stalls said to FLASH the PAssion Card during payment to enjoy the discount, not pay by this mode or that. It is no point trying to argue with this kind of cashiers because they'll think they know best, so the management has to step up their game to train the stall cashiers. I did not have any problems with using contactless payment at Food Republic downstairs and all cashiers are highly proficient with their...
