Is it worth waiting? ..... Ah Nam Zi Char

It has been a long time eversince we go to Changi Village Food Centre. So over the weekend we headed down to Changi happily, but in the end filled with disappointment. First of all, the food centre was closed. So we have got no choice but to look for other alternatives. Just opposite the food centre, there was this "Bak Gut Teh" seems very "famous" (because of the crowd), so we thought of eating over there. But the business was so good that there were no empty seats available and there were few more people ahead of us. P and i dislike queuing, so we headed somewhere else.

We walked across the road to the coffee shop and managed to get a seat despite the crowd (it was 6plus on a sunday, but could be due to the foodcentre was closed?). When we looked around, saw this "Ah Nam BBQ Seafood" (with newspaper cutting introducing the food). Thinking that it was "recommended", it should be not bad, so we placed our orders. Unpleasant moments began... first of all the waiting time. We waited slightly over an hour for our food. Yes, no joke (we don't like to queue, because we don't like to wait so long for our food). When we placed our orders, the lady did not warn us, otherwise we would not have eaten there. Second, the food was not fantastic (despite we were so hungry). The sambal for the stingray was not nice, it was not aromatic. The "lala" was also not nice, because they used the same sauce as the stingray for that. The veggie had got this funny taste.... like some kind of soap... and the squid... again using the same sambal.... sign... we came all the way to Changi Village, waited super long for an unpleasant dinner... I was so sad, because i love to eat, therefore eating an unpleasant meal will make me very unhappy and feeling disatisfied. I don't know about you. Will you feel the same?

Lesson learnt: "Recommended" food may not be nice. That was the second time we got "cheated" by recommended food. First was the Fried prawn noodle at Esplanade, "recommended" by Makansutra. The food was only passable, it's not so nice till you need to go all the way there.
