East Coast Lagoon Food centre

Had lunch with mum recently and she brought me to East Coast Lagoon FC as we were in the area.
Apparently she comes here quite a bit with her friends as she has full knowledge of what's hot and what's not.

Though, that can be seen just as easily by the queues in front of specific stalls. Namely Beef kuey tiao, satay bee hoon being the order of the day. We had satay too but i didn't really think they were that good, just normal.

There's only one pic of this meal. The satay bee hoon. Why? Cause it's the Mooost famous stall there, at least thru observation (queueing) I was like 6-7 people back in the queue and had to wait about half an hour juusssst to reach the front. The brothers at work do one order at a time despite the queue and the few in front of me ordered to dine in AS WELL as takeover of about 10 packets (rough gauge).

After i was done i looked again and the queue was about 20 people long. Talk about a love of 'famous' food!


The $5 masterpiece.

Now to give it credit, this rendition of a local favourite does have many merits. Firstly, they're not stingy on ingredients, which is good. From the prawns to the veggies, lean meat, cuttlefish and hum, everything was done just about right, with texture and flavour both locked into the ingredients.

However, the main difference is the sauce. Finely grounded, it's more like satay syrup instead of the chunkier versions commonly found. Smooth and goes along better with the bee hoon than the usual chunkier version but personally i prefer a little more bite in my meal.

Still, worth a visit and an order whenever in the area.

4/5.
It would be higher if it wasn't for the queueing. I hate queues.
