Better not be fool here. Pricey for its portion, bland flavours. Better cook your own at home.

Don't be fooled here. The portions are pricey and the flavours are bland. You'd be better off cooking at home.
The fish was thinly sliced and not grilled, with a very unpleasant smell, suggesting it was frozen.
The pasta was drenched in oil, with only a few cubes of duck. The mushroom soup tasted like it came from a tin.
For the price, I think other Western hawker fare tastes better.
Just go and check out the other stalls I've tried before.

Always coming back for the chicken cutlet with fries; I love the garlic bread served with it. The price is decent for western food, although service could be a little better – the staff seemed nonchalant and dispassionate about working there.
The hawker itself is relatively clean and well-designed. I would come back, but not too frequently.

Bad service from a Malay male staff at the counter. He was rude, moody, and not service-oriented. He should not be stationed in front-line service given his bad attitude. When a customer asked where the chili flakes for pizza were, he just shouted at them. Management should look into this staff's behaviour as it will affect the company's name. Incident happened on 28th March 2025 around 9pm plus at the Haig Road, Kedai Kopi outlet.

Best to give this outlet a miss. My guess is the chicken has been re-fried many times; it tasted hard and rubbery.

The food I ordered is totally different from the picture reference! This is a dishonest business practice, cheating customers by displaying fake pictures to mislead them. See attached photo. Highly not recommended.

Great portion with freshly fried chicken and hot, piping rice. The coconut rice could be better, as there are only hints of coconut taste. The rest is good enough to be called a decent nasi lemak. As I came around 10:30 am and the weather was quite hot, the seating area was quite breezy due to the number of fans installed. Will come again to try other food.

The atmosphere is spacious, relaxing, and clean. The food is delicious and offers good value for money. I brought my family here for lunch on a weekend. The fried chicken is fantastic! The seafood soup and toast bread were wow! I love it! Will come again.

Nicely decorated coffeeshop at Haig Road. However, there's a lack of sufficient fans and no air conditioning. Price-wise, it's okay. Elderly cleaners helped to clear tables quite fast, even though it was quite late after 8:30 pm.

I usually order the chicken cutlet, which is pretty good! This time I decided to try their pizza, and it was surprisingly tasty as well. There was loads of cheese, but they could have been more generous with the toppings.
The staff seemed a bit unbothered and cold; they could work a bit on their customer service skills. However, the general ambience is pretty good at this hawker!

Lovely Western food in the Paya Lebar & Joo Chiat area. The price is reasonable, but the portion was a bit less than expected. The food is tasty, though the soup could be a bit more flavourful. Overall, a good experience and food.
