Mackenzie Rex has been around since 1966 and has a loyal following -- for all the right reasons. The star here is undoubtedly the Hainanese Chicken Rice. The chicen is flavoudful and perfectly cooked, served alongside fragrant rice paired with slightly acidic, fiery chilli. Other dishes you can find on the menu are pretty much zi char dishes. Popular are the baby squid -- deep fried and tossed in a slightly sticky sweet sauce -- and the chilli crab and black pepper crab.

The delicious big portions of lamb is succulent dellicious..
Beef sirloin steak served with salad and black pepper sauce. You could opt from 3 different choices of sauces but i feel that the black pepper is the best! The price is affordable and the atmosphere is chillax.
Pretty filling food! There's set lunch/dinner, really affordable IMO, for a cafe especially! And what's best? It's halal! Will definitely come back.
At my old place in Bukit Gombak yesterday, I took a trip down memory lane. While its changed hands and renovated many times, this at least two-decade old Muslim-indian eating place "Alif Restaurant" is still recognizable to old boys like me. While pratas these days come fanciful with chocolate, banana, cheese and whatnot, I only recollect there was only "kosong" (plain) or egg back then. Those who are old enough may also remember that we only had free-to-air channels on our CRT TV sets that would screen horror classics like Poltergeist, Nightmare on Elm Street or Child’s Play every Tuesday or Thursday late night. My elder brother and I would lay our ragged "ti lum" (mattress) on the floor in the living room and scare ourselves silly. Almost every time, no thanks to my brother, he would purposely cajole me to buy supper right after the first horror scene in the movie. I was a chubby kid back then, so I would always get suckered into making that trip for some tasty pratas for supper. However, imagination would get the better of me once I got downstairs, and I would always break into an Olympic sprint to reach the restaurant. Once there, I would forget about the horror scenes playing out in my head and get mesmerized by the malay encik (uncle in malay) who would press balls of smooth dough before carrying out gravity-defying prata-flipping. Then, right in front of us in full glory, he would throw the translucent flattened dough onto the big heated flat pan doused with eight tonnes of oil. As a grand finale to end the cooking, another uncle would display the ultimate act of masculinity by stacking up the ready-to-serve pratas and crushed them mightily in one blow with his bare hands. Once the uncle handed me the hot crispy pratas in my hand, Chucky and Freddy would be back in my head instantaneously. So needless to say, I made another Olympic sprint back home! I guess that’s how I am still alive today. #hawkerpedia
Price:~$7. Verdict: recommended (particularly if you are hungry). This chicken burrito from stuff'd is huge in portion, generous in quantity, and extremely value for money. The taste of it while not top class exceeds the standard one would expect from a takeaway burrito outlet. You can adjust the ingredients within your burrito to create the burrito you want. Stuff'd allows you to choose between 2 kinds of meat (chicken and beef), vege, unlimited amount of sides (humus, sweet corn etc), and 2 sauces. It is evidently subway inspired but better. The texture of the wrap was firm but not too hard, the meat was well-seasoned but not too salty, the vege was fresh, and the sides were refreshing because they are unlike what you'll usually get at subway. It is overall a really large portion and it is recommended that you share with someone if you are not a big eater or if you are not feeling particularly hungry
Saw Burpple Tastemaker Dixon's review on the Prata coin here and I just knew I had to specially make a trip down for myself. I came with high expectations and this Prata coin proved itself worthy of his extremely positive review. Soft, fluffy yet still very crispy, the Prata coin kind of melts in your mouth. The Prata coin smells invitingly of butter, which nicely complements the fragrance of the chicken curry served. I initially thought the portion was too much for me, but the whole plate disappeared without me noticing. Definitely coming back for more!
My all time favorite simple straightforward meal.
Filling up my tummy. A wont go wrong choice for Dinner.
Taste wise : Consistently nice
