Verdict : The Nasi Lemak was really lemak, unlike some other Nasi Lemak where the only lemak was in the name. It was fluffy and did not stick together. Fried Chicken wings and the Otah was also delicious as it was fresh and piping hot. The Chilli was also just right in its spicyness and sweetness. Definitely worth another visit when around the area.

We did not know the place existed until we passed by there one day....and we were actually looking for another stall.

The cinema emits a strange smell. We were wondering where the smell came from. When we sat down in our seats, it felt as though the seat was about to drop. The cushion was almost non existent...as though totally worn out. Only then did we realise that the smell could have come from the cushion (it was fabric...soft...too soft...like almost never washed). Good thing the lights were dim and were kept dim even after the show. Just wondered if the cushion was stained with human dna samples from active sweat glands over the years.... the collection of which gave out the arid smell.
Anyway it was the first time also after a long long time that someone's head blocked our view so that we had to watch the show between 2 heads...which seems pretty huge.
Anyway the show saved the day...and we vowed never to step into Lido 7 again...until the place is being renovated and upgraded.

The only problem was that the back rest was too upright and stiff. The seats do not recline, hence providing a much awkward viewing angle. Imagine seating in an upright position for 2-3 hours watching a movie....try to slouch and you will end up sitting with no back support.
Not our favourite cinema, but still better than Lido 7. That is another story.

Food is above average. So far we have been there twice and they have a wide selection of items all at reasonable prices. A plate of Phad Thai is about $3 which makes it even cheaper than some mass produced Phad Thai found at some food courts...so it definitely a must try for Phad Thai lovers.
They have all the regular Thai fares and must say that the portions are tasty and just right for 2 persons. The total bill came up to be less than $20 for 4 dishes and dessert. So it really is budget. Also they do not charge GST and Service charge.
What's more, Tom's Palette is just next door, so you can hop to the next shop to get your home made ice cream after a hearty meal.

So at first we were all skeptical about this shop since we tried a few and most of them just wanted to push the expensive ones to us. But this turned out to be the best experience in eating durians at Geylang.
We started out asking for the 3 for $20 (D24) durians and in the end ordered 6 durians. The "meat" looks just right and we just could not wait to get a taste of it. Perhaps you can judge for yourselves from the pictures above. Note : We did not have to select it ourselves. He selected it for us and we were thoroughly satisfied with his selection. He even asked us if we wanted the sweet or bitter type? We opted for a mix of both.
The stall owner is especially friendly. He provided us with free mineral water and waited patiently while we were waiting for our kaki to arrive. We started out with 3 durians for 8 persons and he did not show any sign of irritation (as to why we ordered so little). Guess he knew that we could not stop at 3. In the end we ordered 6 and tar pao another 6. So he must have been happy.
This is one durian stall with a service oriented boss. When he noticed one of our kaki not digging into his durian (not a durian lover), he went to grab a basket of rambutans and chikus and gave it to us FREE!
Again we were skeptical. Is it for real? But in the end he did not charge us for it. It really is free. Perhaps there were a few "ang mo" in our kaki but I do not think it is because of that. He was friendly from the start.
Before we left, he gave us his name card. His name is Sam. So the next time we have a craving for durians, we will surely remember Sam. Recommended AAA triple rating.
