If you are missing authentic Malaysian food, you may consider dropping by to Encik Tan at the newly opened Kallang Wave Mall (nearest MRT Station - Stadium). [Update - Aug 2018: you can also now find Encik Tan at Vivocity Basement and many more places in Singapore! Check out their locations here.]
Carrot cake, popiah, wantan noodles, fishball noodles... the menu seems awfully familiar like those you can find at hawker centres and food stalls around Singapore. But at Encik Tan, it tastes a little different, in a good and delicious way. In fact, it tastes more authentic. (I honestly do not know how else to describe it, you have to try it yourself to taste the difference).
The staff are Malaysians, so that makes it abit more authentic. When I was there, I asked if they could make white carrot cake and would it be nice (I really need better questions to ask), and the uncle (probably the manager) said, of course, confirm nice! and it was!
Feels homely - It even has the authentic plate. |
the white carrot cake, tastes good! |
I visited them a few times. The wantan noodle dish tastes normal to me. The popiah sells out very fast (so sad! so you gotta come early to get it). There are 2 different queues for different food so that gets a little confusing.
Priced decently, and it is family friendly (big seating area for large families). So you tend to see big families dining in. I hope they have more food variety in time to come.
My ratings:
- Food / Drinks: 7/10
- Ambience: 6/10
- Service: 6/10
Overall: 6.5/10
- if you are in the area and craving something cheap and satisfying
