89.7 Eating House

Yesterday Terence felt like eating some malay food, so we landed up at 89.7 Eating House at Simpang Bedok. It's one of the many food stalls located at Simpang. 89.7 Eating House occupies 3 shops' space and offers many different types of food. You can have western, zhi char stuff, prata and regular malay cuisine.

On weekends the whole stretch of shops are usually damn crowded. Weekdays though the place is only half full. Anyway, lately I have this thing for nasi goreng ikan bilis. I ate this particular nasi goreng ikan bilis a while back and have been looking for a stall which replicates the same taste. So no guesses then, that I ordered nasi goreng ikan bilis. Terence went for the maggi goreng. One thing I also like when I visit malay stalls is their teh cino or teh cino peng (localized version of latte?), I always drink it when I get the chance.

The verdict.... This nasi goreng didn't meet up to my standard. Some how it lacks something though I can't really put a finger to it. Rice was just salty, and not much ingredients either.

I never knew what all the hype about maggi goreng was. Always thought that if you want to eat maggi mee just eat it at home, but I guess it's different though. Took a taste of Terence's maggi goreng, tasted like stir fried instant noodles using the seasoning from the packet. So I still don't see whats all the hype about.

Ultimately was kinda disappointed yesterday. Didn't really have a good meal, I think the shop opposite the road serves better food. Maybe I was just unlucky yesterday? People normally tell me that they serve good food, better than the shop opposite. Hmmm I don't know, maybe will review it again some time. The only highlight for me was the teh cino which was good.
