Michelin Bib stalls join in Raffles City's reopened food court
The reopening of The Food Place at Raffles City brings a 20-stall array that's bound to satisfy your cravings.
The crowds were at an all-time high as I took in all the new stalls that had set up in the new storefront. A concept by Food Republic, The Food Place aims to combine Michelin-recognised brands with food court prices.
Among these renowned names is Mon Kee Café, responsible for authentic Hong Kong cha chan teng-style recipes. They are especially famous for their scrambled egg rice, featuring various cooked meats enveloped within a layer of fluffy egg.
The Scrambled Egg Rice with Homemade Sweet Sauce (S$8.50) was a plate of true indulgence. The soupy sauce was drizzled generously, coating the entirety of the omelette.
Paired with the thick slices of char siew, each bite was a balance of sweet and savoury. I love how the scrambled eggs were still slightly moist, adding a velvety texture as they mix with the rice. A dish like this can only be called comforting!
Ever wondered what stars like Jay Chou, Alan Tam and Bosco Wong enjoy during lunch? Well, come for a taste of Ju Xing Fish then! They're the first sauerkraut fish express concept by Ju Xing Home: a Hong Kong restaurant awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand for 6 years since 2018.
This Sauerkraut Fish Soup (S$13.80) features crunchy grass carp. The sour and slightly spicy soup whets the appetite. I was pleasantly surprised by the texture of the fish. It was meaty and light, enhanced by the acidity of the soup.
Smash burger fans, you're going to love this one. Smash by BurgerLabo brings their juicy, umami-rich burgers to The Food Place's reopening.
The Smash Burger (S$16.80) was filled with pickled onions, two thick beef patties, and a creamy sauce. It also came with a side of salted fries that were fried to crisp perfection. Seared on a griddle till a crust is formed, the minced beef turns an appetising caramel brown.
So, if you're not sure of what to eat, why not pop by The Food Place? You're bound to find something that tempts you when you arrive!
