First time to try - should have some room of improvement in the future. It is a self-serve with limited services such as help to bring food from the counters or help to setup the table for u. My family ordered 2 noodles / 1 rice + 6 pieces skewers(chicken/beef). Tastes of food generally not bad , the satay skewers were just as expected. Noodle is not very strong taste of spices soup - just enough ! However, I missed the dark soy sauce - Singapore style one !! in my hainanese chicken rice 😅. Well, good to try !
I must confess that Singaporean fare was an uncharted territory for me until recently. An enticing local joint promising home-style Singaporean dishes seemed the perfect venue to dip my toes into this food culture. When the much-recommended Hainanese chicken first arrived at my table, its unassuming presentation gave me pause. However, any reservations vanished with the first bite - the dish's deceptively simple appearance belies an extraordinary burst of flavors, particularly when enhanced with the accompanying bouillon, which is a distilled symphony of taste. The Roti Canai also won me over with its flaky exterior, moist interior, and outstanding curry dip. The experience has sparked a new culinary fascination for me, and I can confidently say that it won't be long before I find myself returning.
A order and pickup the food at the counter restaurant serving Malaysian type dishes. Got the beef rendang and the portion was very generous with lots of meat (more beef than potatoes). The satay noodle was very flavorful. The satay nutty tofu was big portion as well. Recommend going with more people if you want to try different dishes.
Always have a long line up. Went at 3:30pm today to beat the rush. Ordered the Singapore Laksa and lemon tea. The lemon tea didn’t have much lemon flavors even though I stabbed it so many times. The laksa was delicious and good portion for the price!
After a hike in Minnekhada Park, the Missus and I had a late lunch at the Singapore Hawker. We have heard and read great reviews but unfortunately, we were very disappointed.
The restaurant is run cafeteria style where you order your food, pick up your food on trays and return your trays with the dirty dishes. We had ordered the roti for an appetizer, nyonya yellow curry chicken on ginger rice, nyonya rendang lembu on ginger rice and assam tofu with mixed vegetables.
We were given 2 serving bowls of which both were still wet inside. One had a wet rice kernel inside and the other bowl had a spot of dried curry sauce on the lip. We found the roti sauce tasteless and the Missus remarked the curry chicken was not very tender. The beef rendang was over cooked as most of the beef was disintegrated. The accompanying vegetables in the assam tofu dish were only green beans and a couple pieces of tomato & okra.
The service was acceptable, pricing was reasonable but the food lacked the "wow" taste factor for us. We will search for other Singaporean eateries.

Love this place! Every time I have visited it has always been busy, though never had to wait for a table. As you enter, the staff encourages you to find a table first. You are then handed a menu and you will order and pay at the till. You'll be given a number to pick up your food once ready.
We ordered family style amongst 4 people. We had left overs. We were stuffed and satisfied. We ordered: roti canai, kari lembu, gado gado, mee goreng and hainese chicken. These are our go to dishes so there were no surprises, we knew they'd be good. And it did not disappoint.
The staff is friendly and helpful. They brought some of our dishes to our table after going up to pick up a couple times. They call your number as each dish is ready. They even came by afterwards to help us clean up.
We spent $100 for all our dishes between 4 people. Very reasonable for this day and age.

This time, my friends suggested that there has a good Singapore restaurant in Coquitlam therefore we are going to try it.
Actually it was like a food court style restaurant, you order and pay first at the counter, find a table and pick up yourself when the food is ready or somehow they will bring it to your table if you order a lot.
The foods we try is very common but delicious, the beef and chicken satay are both smell good, the hainanese chicken is very tender, the curry sauce is tasty but the beef brisket is too lean. The noodles are somehow salty, they still have so much ingredients inside. The quality and the quantity is over average, you spend every penny is worth what you get.
Overall the waitresses are very hard working and very polite, when the customers leave, they clean up the table right away. That’s why they keep the restaurant tidy and clean.
They also mentioned that they would open the second location in Burnaby therefore I don’t need to travel a long way to Coquitlam.
