Hipster Hawker Joint at Pasir Ris!

Majority of us are all into very hipster stuff, especially when it comes to food! We as Singaporeans are mad foodies, we have a myriad of food selections from the diverse pool of culture here. However, wouldn't it be awesome if local food is served in a very hipster way?

We stumbled upon a hipster hawker food court in Pasir Ris area, just minutes walk from the MRT station. There's an entire level dedicated to hipster serving food.  Hence, we decided to indulge our taste buds in some hipster food.

Can we just say, even though the setting is a hawker center set up, the place is just stunning. For overseas readers, a hawker center is a local coffee shop where it is not air-conditioned and there a variety of different food sold there. Dining there comes with a splendid view of the Pasir Ris Park.  The green foliage accentuated the entire hipster dining experience.

First up, we order a beef stew that costs about SGD8.90. Upon the first bite, it immediately teleported us to a homely feel. It feels as though it was a hug in a bowl. The beef stew was so thick with tender beef chunks as well as other ingredients like; carrots, potatoes, onions, etc. The beef stew gave such a home-cooked feel that it will definitely leave u wanting for more!

Next up we ordered something Thai. We had Thai basil rice with a vegetable side dish which costs approximately SGD 11. Here is another sumptuous dish that you can sink your teeth into! The basil rice was so closely authentic that you feel as though you are eating it in Thailand.  There was just enough spiciness where the heat just hits you in the right amount. The chicken was so well cooked and the entire dish was simply mouth-watering. The vegetable side that we ordered was just the cherry on top! The vegetables were super fresh and crunchy. The sauce was cooked beyond words. Though it may seem like a simple dish and you wouldn't expect a punch of flavor but let me tell you, it was gastronomical!

Lastly, we had beef sirloin with sides of cold slaws and fries that cost about SGD 10.90 ( not very worth in our opinion)! It was rather disappointing as the other two dishes were just amazing, hence this was a little bit of a letdown. The beef was rather small but well-cooked. The only saving grace of the dish was the fries as it was nicely fried with an appropriate amount of salt.

We ordered some drinks as well, the typical drinks like tea and coffee. It was nothing much to brag about. It was very minimalistic but the pricing was a bit hefty. Overall, the entire dining experience was splendid. We will definitely come back to try out the other food options available and will especially be back for the beef stew!
