My experiences during my internship last summer in SGEntrepreneurs is not only resulting in networking, real-job experiences, and self-improvement, but also resulting in knowledge of food available around SGE office. Located in South Bridge area, the office is surrounded by quite various places to eat at, i.e. circular road, central mall, raffles place, and Funan mall. All of those places are up to 10 mins walk from my office.
Circular Road
There are few places that I tried during my internship in this road.
1. Sinar Pagi Nasi Padang
It is so far the best Nasi Padang that I've ever tried in Singpore. Been talking about this quite a lot to my mom, because last time she came here, she had difficulty in adjusting with the food. She is totally an Indonesian, particularly Padangnese, because she majorly only can eat Padang food. So will be happy bringing her to this shop when she comes to visit me again. One of the food variation that I tried.
2. Hawker Centre
There is only one hawker centre in Circular Road. Among all of the stalls, I tried only one stall, The Malay Stall. Typical Malay Stall, it sells foods namely like Mee Rebus, Mee Goreng etc. But, I didnt tried such things, instead I tried more of their type Chicken Rice, starting from their Chilli Chicken Rice till their Black pepper Chicken Rice. On top of that, they also have Fried Rice, which can be considered worth-it to try, since most of the price in this area kinda pricey for an intern. :D
3. Yong Tau Foo Shop
I thought there will be no difference in the taste of Yong Tau Foo, because it is consist of foods that being put into the soup. But apparently I am wrong. Their Yong Tau Foo is the worst Yong Tau Foo that I've ever tried. Well, I only tried Yong Tau Foo in Banquet previously, VivoCity and Jurong Point.
Central Mall
There are a lof of resto that you can try in Central Mall indeed, but as intern and limited budget of everyday, here are the places that I went.
1. Burger King
Well, everyone knows how Burger King taste I think. And since it is franchise, they will adopt the same SOP globally, so the taste is supposedly the same. Beside in central mall, there is a Burger King opposite UOB Builiding as well, nearby Raffles Place MRT station.
2. Freshness Burger
As the name of the shop, all of their ingredients are fresh, which indirectly indicating that they are using organic ingredients somehow. Due to the quality of ingredients, you will see the price difference as well between this shop and "normal burger" in the other shop,
3. B1 Level of Central Mall
There are few numbers of eatery in this level. At the shop that selling this Crispy Chicken Cutlet Set Rice, you can find Laksa and some other soup noodles menu with their home-made drinks such as green tea, grass jelly, etc. While at the shop that sells Chicken Katsu Curry Set, you will find that they give you a lot of curry till you cant see the rice.
Raffles Place
I did not really try in Raffles Place, because so lazy to walk down there to simply get my lunch. But there are few numbers of resto in Raffles Place such as cedele (one of their nice menu) and TCC (there are other TCC in Funan and Central Mall as well). If I am not wrong to recall, I only bought from Mr Bean above the MRT Station before in Raffles Place area.
Funan Mall
Out of numbers of makan places that available in Funan Mall, I tried these 2 places.
1. TCC
It was during lunch hours and was really a busy hour for them, especially when I was eating there, there was an offer 1-for-2. I was eating with a friend, so we use that offers. From taking order to get the food ready took about 20 minutes. And if you ever eat with me, you will know I am the slower eater ever you met in your life. So hence with this, I would not go to this kind of place anymore if my office is really strict about lunch hours timing.
2. Qiji
Located at one of corner in Level 1 of Funan, it is one of my favorite makan place because they served it efficiently, so you can enjoy your food without long waiting time. I will consider eat here if I need a quick lunch as well. And you need to bring colleagues to get the seats while you are ordering the food, because it is really packed during lunch hours. I tried quite numbers of their rice set, here is one of them: Chicken Set Nasi Lemak.
Well, there are quite a lot of other places that I can try on around and there are some places that I ate before but I do not really feature here due to my personal reasons. So which one is your favorite place among those 4 I mentioned above?
