iSteak at MyVillage Serangoon Garden


iSteak is a popular western food place at MyVillage at Serangoon Garden.  During lunch, you will see lots of people who either work nearby or live nearby come in for a quick lunch.  The prices here are quite reasonable, and the food is quite decent.  Well, how did I know it?  Somehow it is not too pleasant for me to come here, as someone likes to choose this place for farewell whenever we have someone leaving us for greener grass.  I have been here numerous times.  The dinning environment is pleasant, large glass windows let in plenty of natural light.  We want to support this place also because they support people who are intelligently challenged.


Honey Ginger Chicken, $10.00

For this occasion, I ordered the honey ginger chicken, for $10.00.  Every main comes with two free side dishes, which I chose spinach salad and olive rice.

The chicken was grilled together with the skin, which provided lots of natural chicken oil.  The meat was just nice, fully cooked but not dry.  Honey and ginger combination is a bit interesting.  Honey neutralized ginger's strong flavor and taste.

There is no GST, no service charge here. The price you see in the menu is what you pay.  By the way, if you do patronize this place, just help yourself with a menu from any table or display, choose what you like and then go to the cashier to make your order and payments.  Then you will be given a number plate indicating your order number.  The staff will bring the food to your table.  For cutlery, it is self-service, you can get them from the cutlery station, as well as whatever ketchup, chili sauce that you prefer.  For drinks, you have to order separately at the drinks counter.

Soi Thai Kitchen at Serangoon Garden


Serangoon Garden is quite a food paradise, with a variety of cuisines available, from the local hawker fare at Chomp Chomp, to Chongqing BBQ, to Italian food, there is always something for everyone.


Went to Soi Thai Kitchen for a quick lunch the other day.  The place goes for a no-frills setting.   High ceiling and ample space between tables.  You won't feel being cramped into a small place.  The downside, of course, is there is no air-conditioning.  It could be quite hot in Singapore's tropical weather.  In addition, the restaurant is just 1-2 meters away from the car park.  If you are sitting at the shop front, and a car is starting, the exhaust can blow right into your face.  I must say it is quite a turn off.  Morale of the story?  Don't sit near the entrance.

Basil with minced pork and egg, $6.00

Soi Thai Kitchen makes available some Thai food at food court price so that you can even go there for a casual lunch, just like me.  I ordered their basil with minced pork and egg, served with plain rice for a grand total of $6.00!  No service charge, no GST! 

The food was decent.  The minced pork was on the more fat side, so it was not that great.  The basil leaves and the chili somehow compensated for that, offering appetizing fragrance and the hot stimulus to your taste buds.  For $6, I think it is not much to be too critical of.
