Chili's Grill & Bar @ Tanglin Mall

Chili's Grill & Bar has one of the best ribs in town. I ordered the mix and match baby back ribs with half rack original flavour and the other half Honey BBQ flavour. The meat was very tender and slipped off the bone easily. The mashed potato and coleslaw sides are very good too. The mashed potato was not dry, sauce was very good and it came with potato skins which was quite unique. The coleslaw was also very refreshing and nice which different from what we usually get elsewhere.

I also ordered the Terlingua Chili, slow cooked chili with beef, onions and chiles topped with cheese which is another of my favourite here. For dessert, I had the Caramel Apple Tart. The skillet baked apple tart was topped with vanilla ice cream, warm caramel sauce and cinnamon. It was nice but a bit messy to eat.

Laksania @ Hougang Mall

Hougang Mall has changed quite a bit since the last time I viisited it. They are more F&B in the mall now. On the fourth floor, there is a new Mei Shi Mei Ke 美食美客 foodcourt by Kopitiam Group. Laksania caught my attention as it offered a variety of laksa. There have Singapore, Kelantan, Penang, Sarawak and Johor laksa.

I had the Johor laksa which came with yellow noodle and thin bee hoon. The laksa soup is quite similar to our Singapore version. However the laksa ingredients it used egg plants, long beans and fish ball which is different from the Singapore version.

Johor Laksa 4/5
