Dianxin @ Kopitiam (Compass Point)
The Kopitiam at Compass Point is pretty crowded at the times we have weekday dinners these days. That really has to do a lot with that the both of us are having dinners at the same time as everyone else – i.e after work at 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Hence, the only times when we don’t have to scout around for free tables is when we eat at odd hours during during weekends.
We had brunch on Saturday late morning; Ling stuck to her usual Grilled Mackerel. On my end, and for a change, it was a little Dianxin set meal that’s sold at the corner restaurant near the entrance of the foodcourt. For $5 – and discounts apply if the patron is a Kopitiam blue privilege card holder – I got an especially yummy three layered pork bun (or “kong bak pao”), glutinous rice, a side that tasted like yam, and prawn-based chee cheong fun. Each order of the latter is made on the spot, and it was the first time I’ve seen this dianxin item get prepared. The pork filling for the bun was thickly coated with gravy. Sold singly it costs quite a bit ($1.30), but it’s much tastier than the ones sold at coffee shops. Value wise you don’t get too much food for $5, but it’s food wise this one’s really not bad.
- Food: 8 / 10
- Value: 2.5 / 5
- Overall: 3.5 / 5. I’m gonna have to try the other chee cheong fun types soon.
