Curry chicken ($3.80)

Curry, anyone? The curry from this stall is really good, especially the curry chicken. The chicken itself is tender and generously given, a good portion for those big eater like me. The potatoes are considered an extra bonus to the curry, as it is chewy and also not overcooked. As for the curry, it is thick enough and the fragrance itself makes even my friend wanted to try some of it. Good food.

To fix my craving on pastas earlier this week during my break, I went back to Hungry Jack @ Makan Place. This time round, I ordered something different...

Have you ever wonder how a fried rice taste like when topped with cereals? Now you can! Introducing the Signature Cereal Fried Rice by Pines, with the sweet and mouth-watering aroma coming out from the dish! The fried rice is already delicious alone, having the taste above the average fried rice. However, when you eat the rice with the cereal, there is an awesomely sweet and crunchy feeling in your mouth, as you munch at this golden goodness. They also give prawns generously, and the fresh prawn are really very flavor enhancing too. All these for just $3.50, so awesome!

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!


Here is an instructional video on how to cook your own carbonara at home:

When you are in Makanplace in Ngeeann Poly(NP), be sure to check out the stall Japanese Cuisine for their famous dish known as Kaki Fuyong. It consists of just a simple egg omelette on a hot plate, sauced up and then finish it with a few dices of crispy chicken.

Even though the dish looks simple and plain, the food is deliciously good, resulting in its ever staying popularity level among the students. For example, the omelette itself is not that simple. It tasted salty, yet sweet at the same time. One reason could be the sauce, in which enhanced the fragrances of the dish by ten fold. The chicken itself tasted awesomely good, with a sweet and crunchy feeling tingling in your mouth. With a bowl of rice to complete the dish and the set costing at a affordable price of $3.50, this is one thing you should not miss.

Hence if you have any extra time to spare, head down to NP to try it out today!
