Usually come if there’s a parking lot right in front of the stall. Just seems convenient. However, service is very inconsistent. Mostly rude, often ignored and you are made to feel invisible, even when the place is relatively empty. There … Continue reading →

Always tasty and generous portions at the original Komala Vilas at Serangoon Road. Only thing is after the meal you tend to feel quite bloated. I still love the taste here and it’s been in operation since 1947. I guess … Continue reading →
