This food court is the saddest food court I have ever come across in my 15 years in Singapore. The standards are...(wait there are none), sadly to say I'm getting frustrated just writing this post and thinking about the place.
My family and I decided to go because there was some write up about it on the ST today, and to think that Tony Bourdain wants to bring this concept to Manhattan? Sure, just as long as its not a replica of it. The one thing I can never get with Singapore and its developments are that they are always half-assing things. If you've been there and seen the sad satay stalls perched on the exterior i think you know what I'm talking about. They are not even created as permanent stalls, but makeshifts, as if there was some food show and they just came to set up. This is your namesake for crying out loud!
It's a shame... a total shame. Not to mention that only a handful of stalls were open and the options were bbq seafood, bbq seafood, 5 satay stalls, one turkish place and steamboat. Food was...let's just say I would have been a lot happier grabbing a mickey d's takeout. We ordered a chicken kebab, (bland) bread was good though, hommous was one-note, baba ghanoush went sour. We tried the bbq seafood (next to the popiah stall) everything tasted the same...and sadly they cook just to cook, no thought in to it, just as long as it was edible.
I don't know what to say GBTB, clean up your act a little, you spent so much money on your gardens and you place this eye-sore in the corner...of which your little wooden plank signage was horrible at directing us.
Will I ever come back? I think the answer is clear. That is unless they bring in better stalls, and spiff up the place.
