Grilled Chicken Carbonara

Looking for good western cuisine dishes such as pastas and steaks? Yes, you are on the right site, right post.

The Grilled Chicken Carbonara is probably one of the dishes that most people will purchase at the stall Hungry Jack located at Makan Place. There is also another variation of this dish which is served with meatballs; pick your meat well.

The queue is usually not very long as compared to other stores during peak hours as the waiting time for the food is very long. After you have ordered your dish, you can see the chefs cooking only after receiving your order. This is why the food at this stall is so tasty, it is only prepared after you have placed your order. It is definitely worth waiting for good food. However, the price of this dish costs $5.50. It is slightly expensive but it is definitely worth the price; it is okay to indulge once in a while. Pasta up-size is also available with an additional of $1.

Taste: I'm a fan of cream-based pasta sauce, so this was one of the few dishes that I first tried out from the stall. The sauce is full of flavor, rich and very creamy. The chopped herbs definitely enhanced the flavor of the sauce too. I prefer a thicker sauce; sometimes the sauce can be quite watery when the chef doesn't drain the pasta for a longer time. The chicken's skin is also very well seasoned and crispy. Sometimes, the chicken can be slightly overcooked. If you are lucky, you will get to chew onto a perfectly cooked-pink chunk of chicken.

Overall, this was one of my favorite stalls and dish in Ngee Ann Polytechnic. As a freshmen of Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I was very surprised that I could find such good food here. The price of this dish is slightly expensive but it is still affordable and can be on par or even better than some other pasta outlets. So delicious, so try it out! Definitely recommended!
