We always grab a quick meal from Qiji and take it home to eat, as the dining area behind the stall is too small. The nasi lemak was mediocre, and the popiah wasn't very flavourful or well-seasoned (you can tell from the colour of the turnip). The mee siam has improved in terms of the broth's taste and is best enjoyed with the sambal stirred into it. Last year, the quality was bland and well below the standard for mee siam broth. The staff taking orders also don't always acknowledge customers, especially when payment is made via QR code. New customers may not know that there's no need to show the payment transaction, because once the payment is approved, their system automatically generates a receipt and they will proceed to prepare the food.
First time patronising Hougang 1 outlet and the service was bad. The chicken wing was undercooked and went to told the staff about it and there was no apology. The staff just gave a new one which seems a little dry and smaller. We always patronise Hougang Mall outlet and the food was way better.
The only saving grace for this popiah is the soft skin. The turnips lack flavour and the popiah isn't worth the price ($3.40 for chicken) with so little filling. For those who want to satisfy their popiah craving, I highly recommend patronising 644 Hougang's popiah instead! $2 for much more flavour and ingredients!
