Hawkers' Street @ Tampines 1

I’m extremely frustrated with the service today. I ordered a simple “teh c kosong ice” and asked for less ice because I just didn’t want the drink to be so cold. Immediately I was told there would be an extra 50-cent charge. I even said I don’t need the cup to be full — I just want less ice. Why is that not allowed? It makes no sense to charge extra when the customer is actually asking for less, not more. On top of that, I was charged for a large cup even though I never asked for a large. Nobody bothered to check the size with me. Why assume large? If regular size exists, shouldn’t that be the default unless the customer asks otherwise? This whole experience feels like customers are just being automatically upsold or overcharged without even being asked. Very disappointing.

I haven’t tried all the food here yet, but there are already 3 stalls with Michelin Guide logos. I tried the Ban Mian stall (not Michelin Guide), which was quite decent for hawker quality. I’ll update again if I happen to have a chance to revisit and try the other good food again.

Range of Food selection is getting better with higher quality and more delicious. Always clean and layout of dinning furniture gives comfortable and relaxing ambience. Thumbs up!

Came here for late lunch and the foodcourt is about 80% full at around 2pm. There are still plenty of tables and seats available and the foodcourt is quite comfortable with air-con. There are several stalls selling local food fare and mostly are non-halal. Good to bring your overseas friends here if they want to try out some of our local food and don’t want to travel too far away from the airport. I’d tried the King of fried rice and the old teo chew satay Bee Hoon. Both are my go to stalls if I’ve craving for either.

Quite crowded during lunch. I was drawn to this stall as I saw many diners ordering it. I had the Signature Tai Wah Pork Noodle at $9.90 with less noodles. The noodles were so-so, but there was a generous amount of ingredients.
