After having "boycotted" this restaurant for a number of years due to the fact that I think the staff is quite snobbish and hard to get any service, I decided to check it out again one Saturday afternoon.
The decor itself hasn't changed but somehow the mustard coloured walls was a stand out. I must say the service has improved, maybe because we were still early. The crowds slowly started to trickle in with families coming in for their regular Singaporean fix.
Anyway, decided to order their Nasi Lemak and the Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee.
The Nasi Lemak was nice, the chicken curry itself was rich but not too overbearing and the sambal was a good complement to the dish. The rice was aromatic and all in all, it was quite an authentic Nasi Lemak.
The Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee arrived next. It smelt nice and had ample prawns and calamari. Not only did it smell nice, it tasted wonderful too. Full of that "prawn" stock.... definitely for the seafood lover!
What can I say... I enjoyed my two dishes.
Judging from what we had and what the other tables ordered, I think their portion size is slightly "bigger" compared to the other restaurants and we left with a full tummy.
Ok, Ok... would be worthwhile to visit again...and it is off my boycott list...

Temasek has been there for over twenty years and served as one of my lunch places when I was working nearby in a banking corporate office. I am not a fan of a place having two or three customer sessions an evening - this is not the Australian dining experience that is desired. My fav dishes at Temasek's are its Hainan chicken rice; its grilled satay (although the sauce is so much better made by the Teohs of Carlingford); its Johor mee siam with gravy;and its Mamak mee rebus. What is not so niceis its otak otak fish mousse.
