Lai Lai Kitchen has been tucked in the far end corner of Jurong Point 1
over these years ever since the mall was in operations. Their roasted
delights as well as the noodles were known to be up to the mark. The
contemporary designed eating place is cozy and bright with curved
ceilings that follow suit to the layout of the building and was
installed with sparkling downlights.

Clean & Neat Environment |
As Space of Lai Lai is rather limited, the layout was maximized by
placing counter table where customers can enjoying looking at the MRT
passing by at an elevated seating during the day. While during the
night, the panels of the building come in good use, reflecting the
lighting thus enhancing the ambiance.

Looking out of Jurong Point |
We were skeptical on the food availability as only half a roasted
duck was left hanging on the display. Fortunately, when asked, the
cashier mentioned that the items we wanted was still available.
Ordered the
Black Sauce Chicken Noodle at $4.
Black sauce was sweet and was generously poured in with the springy
fine yellow noodles whereas chicken was firm and juicy, yums!

Black Sauce Chicken Noodle - $4 |
Reddish Char Siew on
Wanton Mee ($4 Per Plate) was
tenderlean to my liking added with 3 wanton bags and some greens stalks.
Sauce used was the same and our mains were equally yummy especially
with the QQ bite from the noodles!

Wanton Noodle - $4 |
I'm a fan of their
braised Chicken Feet ($1 Each) . It's
usually one of my orders unless it was sold out! The deep fried chicken
feet were braised to infuse flavour thus achieving a succulent texture.

Braised Chicken Feet Aka 凤抓 - $2 |
Here's a close shot of the chicken Feet. Ho Jiak!

凤抓 - $1 Each |
Dumplings soup, $5 was filled with about 6 dumplings in a
bowl accompanied by some greens. Soup was tasty and lends some hints of
peppery taste, however, we all knew that its the magic of MSG behind
this.

Dumpling Soup - $5 |
While dumpling skins were smooth and delicate.

One of the Dumplings |
What's wrapped under it? A lump of minced meat packed with little
chunks of chestnut that gives of a crunchy bite with a jelly bite like
feeling from the black jew's-ears.

To sum up, Lai Lai serves as a convenient place to dine in with a
reasonable pricing. Quality and quantity of food in my opinion are the
best so far in the mall! The downside I would say that if the restaurant
is packed, the walkaway along the aisles are rather narrow and there's
no direct route to get out of the restaurant after the meal especially.
One more thing to take note is that as Lai Lai Kitchen is located next
to a training school, it is best to avoid the peak hours especially when
the children are dismissed from their classes with parents waiting at
Lai Lai. Be early to to avoid disappointment!
