Food: The rice had no flavor, like plain rice. Despite the short 15 minute travel time from the point of purchase to my home, the quality is terrible. If a simple food could not last for 15 minutes and immediately turn into disgusting no flavour rice, then is it even considered food? This deterioration is particularly concerning given how expensive it is. Service: The workers are very attentive and hardworking, and atleast that's what makes me satisfied. But the food is terrible!
Food is pretty good and hard to go wrong, but taste can be inconsistent and can really vary. Hit or miss, but overall still comfort food. Will need to plan ahead and make sure that you order in advance as waiting time can be long. There's quite a lot of MSG in the fried rice, which makes it tasty but doesn't sit well with my tummy. To others who are sensitive like me, might wish to take note too 😅
Easy-to-find restaurant that is located directly outside of Hougang Mall's exit to the MRT. Getting the staff to attend to me was a struggle. Even when one cook was not busy and just staring at me, they continued to do their own thing instead of addressing me. I feel like the service needs some work. I order fried rice everytime I visit. One version in particular I favor is the Dry Laksa Fried Rice with Grilled Chicken. While the normal fried rice has the wok hei aroma and great-tasting rice, the Dry Laksa Fried Rice was a level-up. If you enjoy laksa, then the fusion between fried rice and laksa BY Wok Hey will make you crave for more. Price range is sort of pricey for Chinese street food cuisine here, so expect to pay almost $10 for one simple meal. Definitely worth it though. Despite my comments about the fried rice, there were times when the rice will taste watery (NOT because of oil), or even underseasoned. I once bit into a box that had like plain reheated rice. Consistency is a bit of an issue here, but this happens rarely. There's no quick guarantee of food being served because the staff can be either fast or slow. However from most of my experiences, my order would take 25 minutes on average to prepare (even during peak hours). It's a good food chain with delicious food, but put some effort to get attention of the staff when you order.
