A big open air food centre under Kopitiam, with a wide variety of food. Usually crowded during meal

A large open-air food centre under Kopitiam, offering a wide variety of food. It's usually crowded during meal times. The food prices are on the high side. Many of the affordable and popular stalls were closed. The place seemed a bit dirty, and the tables were not clean. Not recommended.

Today I wanted to eat oyster omelette (蚝煎), and I also ordered wrongly because my eyes couldn't see the words properly. I'm also not sure why they sell two kinds of oyster omelette. I bought the food around 5 pm++. When I got home, I realised I had ordered the wrong item. Then I went back to the shop to change it. The staff told me the food couldn't be changed. I paid $9 to eat eggs and a few pieces of oysters. Very sad and upset.

[1st Feb 2024] pop by to try, notice many store had changed and closed down. Many empty stores. Tire

Visited on 1st Feb 2024 and noticed many stores had changed or closed down, with several empty units. I tried the wanton mee, specifically ordering (no.4) cutlet mee dry with added noodles and (no.2) dumpling wanton mee dry, along with 14 pieces of fried wanton mee. Firstly, the sauce wasn't very appealing; to me, it was just so-so. I mostly tasted black sauce with a lack of savory flavour or aroma. As a chef, I know that the dry sauce is the soul of wanton mee. I requested extra noodles, but the portion didn't seem like half a portion added; it felt like only a little extra. The noodles were a bit soggy. The fried wantons were just okay. I'm not a picky eater, but the sauce really could be improved; the mixture seems off. The auntie was friendly and nice. Seeing her working so hard alone made me want to help her. Perhaps I'll try again next time to see if there's any improvement.

The new fish shop, 赢家, beside the zi char stall. The price point is too high for the small portion; they sell 1/4 of a fish but charge almost $10. Taste-wise, it's just normal.

HK steamfood... not sure of the store name, as I only saw '赢家' (Winner). It looked attractive on the package: one fish, one veg, and rice. But honestly, the rice quality is very good, except for the portion size. I ordered steam seabass; it was a very small fish, cut in half at the top portion, so it was like a quarter portion. Kailan was no longer available, so I chose bean sprouts. I got a countable string of bean sprouts. The taste is not bad, but the portion is still underwhelming.

Pretty spacious during off-peak hours. I only managed to try three stalls as I'm on my way to obesity. Recommend the fried rice if there's no long queue. You can skip the carrot cake as it's just 'meh'. For the Muah Chee pancakes, go for it if you have room for more or if you're broke and can't afford a proper meal. Maybe because it was highly raved and my expectations were too high, but it's just okay, I guess. Try it for yourself.

New stall opened: Freshly Steamed And Served - The steamed fish set meal allows you to choose any 1 out of 4 side dishes. If you don't like fish head, you can add $1.50 to change for fish tail. I chose no. 1 - HK Steamed Mangrove Jack set with steamed egg. The gravy of the fish was quite salty, which paired better with rice. The fish head meat was fresh with no sea smell. However, there were still some fish scales not entirely removed, so one needs to eat carefully. The steamed rice was on the dry side, even with the fish gravy (which wasn't sufficient) to make the rice soft. The steamed egg portion was small, served in a cup like chawamushi (Japanese style), just smooth steamed egg. There's still room for improvement!

Passed by Kopitiam Square and decided to check it out. Many large (dual units) and interesting stalls to try. The space is good, but the floor might be wet in places. Overall, a nice place to revisit.

Kitty and I had dinner at Kopitiam Square and decided to order a Milo ice and a teh c kosong tiklo to accompany our meal. The teh c kosong tiklo turned out to be very bland when served, with the drink looking unappealing and having a pale color, indicating a lack of strength in the tea. The coloring of the tea was not as expected, impacting its taste. We suspect that the establishment might be using inferior tea or facing issues with the brewing process, potentially neglecting our order for a strong tea without dilution. This experience raised concerns about the brewing method and attention to customer preferences. However, the Milo Ice was acceptable, leading us to rate this establishment 4 stars.
