Shiok

Had a desire to eat Singaporean food so Lisa and I decided to try this new restaurant at the Fort Stopover named SHIOK, which according to Lisa meant good or tastes good in Singlish.

When we got there there were about 3 tables occupied by diners and there was only 1 waiter serving the whole place, which of course made service slow. I wanted to order the Hainanese Chicken Rice but it was out of stock so i ended up ordering the Soy Hainanese Chicken Rice. the chicken was good although not exceptional. I liked the Ginger sauce but found the Chili sauce lacking. They also served Hoisin sauce instead of Dark Soy. Lisa ordered Nasi Lemak which turned out to be a Monumental Flop, one could get beter tasting fried chicken at a carinderia in in the middle of a storm. The Roti Prata was ok although we would have preferred it to be more flaky, what was dissappointing though was that the curry dipping sauce used for the Roti is the type of curry used in Japanese Curry dishes. The Sambal Kangkong had good flavor but we got served more stalks then leaves, they could have at least cut it into bite sized and chopsticks friendly pieces. The Char kway teow was dry and a bit burned. I would go back to Shiok and just order the chicken.
