Makan Places

Selected 新瑞记 as our dinner eating place cos it was one of the cheapest along Seah Street. And YZ mentioned that this seemed to be featured on the papers recently. We both had the 1-person set meal which is an ordinary chicken rice with vegetables, soup and drink set. The chicken was the bloodiest i've ever ate. The waitress changed it without any hooha. Think they must have encountered lots of such requests before. Rice not fragrant. Soup no taste. Unanimously the nicest part of the meal was the chilli. And i'm not even a chilli person! lol. Verdict: Won't be coming back again.

Realised that there's a 老瑞记 along the same stretch of shophouses too! Confused. haha. Couldn't remember which is the original copycat. This seemed to have more customers than the 新. But anyway neither the 新 nor 老 are the original.

Popped by Ah Chew's for desert. Had my fav boiled papaya in milk. Verdict: The deserts just don't seem to taste as good as before. No wow factor any more.
