Nice family-friendly spot near Punggol Park. The menu has a good variety to cater to different tastes ; from Indian and local food to Western options, so there’s something for everyone. It’s especially nice to drop by after a good walk in the park. A relaxed place to grab a meal and hang out with the family. 👍
View on GoogleFood isn't a splendor though adequately good quality and serving portion is sufficient. Staffs are attentive to clear away dishes and cutlery when done, making way for other food to be consumed. Of the 6 items I enjoyed, chendol was kind of disappointing though. There wasnt much red bean which seems to hv lost punch to this local favourite dessert.
View on GoogleI think your rating of the place will highly depend on what you order here. We ordered the chop chop Hokkien mee and the turkey bacon carbonara pasta. The hokkien mee took a while to come for some reason, but it was a very satisfying and filling dish for the price of $9.90. However, the carbonara pasta wasn’t bad, but for the price point of $11.90 the portion was meh. On its own though, it still tasted nice and flavourful. If i were to return, I’d try the Hokkien mee again!
View on GoogleDecent place for makan. Place order at counter then self collect when your food is ready. This branch has Cat & Fiddle, so can enjoy some dessert after your meal.
View on GoogleVisited on 8 March 2026. We placed a takeaway order at 7:15 pm and ended up waiting almost 45 minutes, only receiving our food at around 7:55 pm. About 20 minutes into the wait (around 7:35 pm), we politely asked one of the staff how much longer the food would take. Instead of a professional response, she snapped back rudely: “aiya 5 to 10 minutes more only lah!!”. I was genuinely taken aback. I asked a simple, polite question and that was the attitude I got in return. To make matters worse, that “5 to 10 minutes” turned into another 20 minutes. So not only was the response rude, it was also completely misleading. The problems didn’t stop there. We specifically requested no mayonnaise on the fried mushrooms. When we opened the order, it was covered in mayonnaise. Clearly, the request was either ignored or the kitchen simply didn’t care. Then came the most ridiculous part of the order. I had ordered grilled fish with rice. When I opened the box, the fish looked like it had survived multiple wars. It was so badly overcooked it looked like it had been through World War II, and possibly the Vietnam War as well. The fish was dry, tough, and hard like chicken. Calling that “grilled” is honestly insulting to the word. I’ve attached a photo — anyone with eyes can judge whether that resembles grilled fish in any universe. Between the rude staff, inaccurate wait times, wrong orders, and completely butchered food, the entire experience was frankly a joke. Do yourself a favour and avoid patronising this franchise. There are far better food options in Punggol that actually respect their customers and know how to cook food properly.
