Takeaway lunches @ Cinta-J Restaurant & Lounge

I do not really like dining at Cinta-J's because it is extremely noisy and there is a 10% service charge. Anyway, decided to try takeaway lunches because there was no queue today. It was hard to see what dishes they had because there was a reflection at the front of the windows so you could only peer from the the ordering counter, but most of the trays were on top of each other, so you could only see the dishes closest to you. I asked what the other dishes were and she was reluctant to tell me and tried to force me to order what she had scooped up.

In the end I ordered the scrambled eggs and chicken curry. For improvements, it would be great if the stuff was labelled so people do not need to waste time asking especially when they are reluctant to answer.

Scrambled egg: The scrambled egg had lots of ham and onions but it was tasteless, but since there was curry sauce from the chicken it did not taste that bad.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken curry: The chicken was tough and dry because it was all white meat, but the curry sauce was quite nice and it had a strong coconut taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soup: At first I could not tell it was peanut and chicken feet soup because it was really salty.
But after I had half the bowl I saw the peanuts.

Dumplings in chili oil @ Stand Up Eating

I have not been here for ages so decided to give it a revisit.

Some of the dumplings are no longer served so I tried the dumplings in chili oil and the other dumplings in soup.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Dumplings in chili oil: The chili oil was not that spicy which was good and the dumplings were topped with grated garlic.
The dumplings were delicious and there were lots of watercress in it.
The dumplings tasted really nice with the garlic and chili oil.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Noodles with dried prawn roe and mentaiko: The noodles were slightly hard but after putting some soup in, it was softer.
The saltiness of the dried prawn roe gave it flavour and depth and the mentaiko gave it some bursts of saltiness.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Dumplings in soup: The pork dumplings were delicious and the dumpling skin was not too thick, however the broth was too salty.

Chicken sandwich @ Oh Food Arabic Halal Cuisine

I love the food here especially the chicken.
You would think their food is spicy, but it is not spicy at all.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
chicken sandwich:
The bread they used could have been better because it was a local one.
However the chicken inside was delicious and tender because it was thigh meat.
The sauce was packed with aromatic spices.
