Haven’t been to Centrepoint for a few months. Was surprised to see there’s a new F&B outlet opposite Noodle Place Restaurant. Ipoh Lou Yao is supposedly a popular chain from Malaysia.

Last Monday, I was at Bukit Timah Market & Food Centre for lunch, wondering which stall to try out when I spotted a respectable queue at this chicken rice stall. Of course I had to check it out. Would any foodie would miss out on a good find? Don’t be misled by that generous-looking mound [...]

Sandwiched among a row of salons, this dinky shop pulls in the crowds with its specialty, Hainanese boneless chicken rice. They also have roast chicken as option 2.
