The counter staff we encountered, including the male manager were brusque and unfriendly. Made us feel very unwelcome.
Food portion as everyone knows is miniscule at Wendy's. Thin slice of meat, small buns, same price as other fast food outlets. Not worth at all.
If not for the fact that Wendy's was the only fast food outlet in the neighbourhood we would never patronize. Comments and suggestions to the management fall on deaf ears.
However Burger King has just opened opposite Wendy's. Guess where we'll be heading?

Parking: Ample parking in the shopping centre.
Cuisine: Touted to serve authentic Taiwanese food, but we did not find find the tastes palatable at or authentic at all. The Vermicelli with Oyster and Pigs Intestine ($8.90) was the most authentic tasting dish we ordered with quite a good amount of oysters in flavourful broth. The Tainan Coffin Toast ($9.90)was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with creamy seafood filling. Our mains, Spicy Taiwanese Braised Beef Noodles ($12.50) and Taiwan-style Braised Minced Pork Rice ($9.50) were bland and uninspiring.
Beverages and Dessert: The usual Pearl Milk Tea and Bubble Tea (from $3.80) selection and Shaved Ice desserts (from $7.90) make for good conversation after meals, or for a hot and lazy weekday afternoon.
Service: Staffed by a team of older workers and some affable youngsters, the service is casual but efficient. At times, when the crowd swells, the staff actually look quite perplexed.
Verdict: Nice comfortable place for Taiwanese drinks and desserts, but the cooked food was not to our liking, and rather pricey.

Parking: There is no kerbside parking along Tanjong Pagar Road, so you have to park along Duxton Road or at the openair carpark behind the restaurant.
Try these:
The Sate Ayam Madura ($8 per stick). Tasty juicy chunks of chicken, marinated in dark sauce and bursting with flavour. Perfect with rice.
Ikan Bakar ($28) unlike any other grilled fish we tried, this thick sole is slathered with an otah paste of fragrant herbs and cooked on a banana leaf. Bit pricey but well worth it.
Even the Cendol ($4) is different, lacking the overpowering santan (coconut milk), and instead infused with gula melaka. A very nice change indeed!
Skip this: Sayur Lodeh was sold-out when we visited, so we were "strongly" recommended the bayam dish. The very simple Bayam was terrribly overpriced at $16 for our family of four. Haven't paid so much for stir-fried vegetables before!
Verdict: The entire meal was a wonderful experience until we got the bill and saw what we paid for vegetables. Worth a first visit, but not likely to return at these prices!

Location: It was easy locating this coffeeshop which faces the main road (Lorong 1). The problem was finding a carpark space. Fortunately there is a multistorey carpark (MSCP at Blk 110A) located a few minutes behind the block.
Service: It's self-service and a long queue forms at lunch time. Ordering is brisk and the operators (a family, I think) are very friendly people. Our only grouse is that the chicken rice balls are only available ala carte, when you order half a bird. You can't have chicken rice balls with the standard set meal for one, which is a shame. After some discussion, they allowed us to "upgrade" to the rice balls (but after our meal and upon closer calculation, turned out they just added the cost of rice balls to our rice meal). That's expensive!
Flavours: The roasted (brown) and boiled (white) chicken meat was not tender at all, and at times even chewy. The rice balls however were quite fragrant and double the size of those in Melaka. Even the chilli sauce tasty a bit off, unlike the usual garlic chilli sauce that comes with the dish.
Verdict: Notwithstanding the texture of the chicken, it would be a nice place to come whenever we have a craving for chicken rice balls. However, we'd have to come in a group!

Ambience: Not much ambience to speak or, as it is located in a canteen. However, the hustle and bustle of the dinner crowd, and the team of young people rushing around makes for a busy atmosphere. Can be a little noisy with kids running around too.
Cuisine: Not exactly authentic Thai flavours, but the food is well-cooked and well-presented and at very affordable prices. Must-try dishes include Thai Deep Fried Fish Delight ($13/16/19) - a very simple dish but the fish was very fresh and crispy without being too oily; Bei Sheng Oats Prawn ($11/14/17) again very fresh, and the fragrant little bits of oats were nice to crunch on.
We did not particularly appreciate the Tom Yam Soup ($4/7/10) and Pineapple Fried Rice ($3/5/8) which we found quite bland and lacking in taste-feel. The Fried Tang Hoon ($3/5/8) had very little ingredients and was quite oily.
Verdict: Affordable hawker-style dishes if you're in the neighbourhood. Otherwise quite run-of-the-mill and not worth driving a long distance. Call ahead on weekends to reserve a table.
