Makan Place (Ngee Ann Polytechnic)

Was walking around and deciding what to to eat when I saw a newspaper article for one of the stalls. Heard good reviews of this dish ($3.30) that includes a few pieces of fried chicken on top of an egg from a friend who is studying there and it did not disappoint. So good that I regretted not buying the upsized version. Will eat this again if I am at NP again.

Ordered the western cuisine, uncle was generally rude to customers, raising his voice, showing attitude, etc. maybe cause he assumes all customers are students? unacceptable.

[MUIS Halal-Certified] I’m about to complete my studies as an undergraduate in a month’s time, and truth be told, I’ll miss the food at Makan Place more than anything. This is the famed Mongolian Chicken set from Makan Place’s Pines. It really doesn’t singe your wallet and it is pretty delicious at $4.20. Although…most times, they are illiberal with their sauce…and it’s the selling point of this dish!?! 😤 Okay well, their cereal bits are a highlight too, to be honest. (7.9/10)

TAKE NOTE — it doesn’t come with the rice set by default, but you can add on a portion of it for 50¢. And since most stalls at Makan Place have the NETS ‘50¢ off via Scan & Pay’ promotion going on, what’s really stopping anyone from doing just that? 😙

Also, it’s a terrible idea for me to be typing out a caption for this while I’m fasting. The hunger pangs are hitting me harder than it should be. 😧🤧

[Halal] I get behind more humble cuisine choices from time to time, and one favourite would have to be the Chicken Char Siew Noodles from my alma mater, Ngee Ann Polytechnic. :’D

You can find this at the halal chicken rice stall which is located somewhere at the eastern end side of the cafeteria. It’s very affordable at $2.50, fairly delicious and above all, pretty darn satisfying. They have variations with roasted chicken as well as chicken cutlet, both of which are priced the same as this one! 😋 (7.3/10)

$0.50 per piece. Extremely big. Usually siew mais in other hawker centres tend to be very small and not fulfilling, however, the one at Makan Place was an exception. It was huge and very tasty, certainly one that had flavour and seasoning to it! Would recommend especially if you are a dim sum lover. Affordable and nice!

$0.70. Extremely cheap and worth it considering the generous amounts of red bean fillings. It was not only good but also sweet, which is what a red bean pau should have been. I would have hoped for the pau to be bigger so that it is more satisfying and that the dough used could be softer. Personally one of the better paus in Ngee Ann Polytechnic!
