Dreadful. Another example of a worthless, evening-ruining Anthony Bourdain recommendation. The man was an idiot who could not be trusted. I seriously believe restaurants paid him. The restaurant is like a hawker stall on a large scale, because it started as a stall. Cheap tables...and chairs, and only one small room with AC. That would be fine if the food were good. The lady who greets guests is very rushed. Tried to give us a terrible table behind her stand, but we asked for a better one. There were empty tables, so the chatter about needing reservations is probably hype intended to motivate potential customers. Exaggerating traffic appears to be a standard tactic in Singapore. Our table had one leg about an inch shorter than the rest. The waitress, who was very nice, jammed something under it. The prawn rolls tasted like the ingredients were old, and they were bland due to a lack of seasoning. The breading appeared to have been applied in a factory, and it was limp. I think the rolls were bought frozen. The shrimp paste chicken wings had nearly no flavor. They tasted like old frying oil. Not good at all. The coffee pork ribs were okay, but I think they sat around after the sauce was applied to a big batch, because the breading was a little soggy. The chili crab cost $95 for 1 kg. That appears to include half a kilo of sauce. No exaggeration. It looks like they boil lots of crabs in sauce until they fall apart, and then they give you enough unrelated parts to look like one crab. Ours had three claws, and the shell was empty. The sauce was awful. Like Spaghetti-O's sauce with Tabasco and a lot of sugar. Most of the meat was tiny slivers buried in sauce. The claws were cracked poorly, so they were hard to get into. This dish is worthless. I wouldn't eat it again if it was free. Maybe there are some good dishes at KEK. I would avoid the crab at all costs. Bottom line: reviews are corrupt and can't be trusted, and that goes double for Anthony Bourdain reviews. The man was a disgrace, like many TV chefs.More
