Collins Grill and Bento @ Hougang St 11 Foodloft

So glad this shop opened nearby. It sells inexpensive western and Japanese food. Western one is so so only but the Japanese menu, taste and quality is so much better than those you find at typical food courts. All 3 dishes below only came to a total of $14. Bargain! And let me tell ya, the Udon soup on the right, they used the good japanese udon that has that slight chewy texture, not the cheaper version you can find in the cheaper normal supermarket fridge. The curry was really good too. The only really bad food at this joint, and it's been twice already so I know it's not a  one off, is the corn. It's overcooked and very very tasteless! I'm a corn lover and both times unfortunately I couldn't even finish the corn...that's how bad it is.....The Aglio Olio spaghetti accompanying the grilled black pepper chicken was overcooked - so was not al dente. My guess is the noodles have been cooked earlier and have been sitting around too long. They should perhaps cook it less than al dente earlier, then finish it off when they get an order.
