As @nasha took a tentative spoonful of cendol, she exclaimed, "(Old amoi cendol at Chinatown complex) Quite nice, but at the end taste abit too sweet." But @x3rai, never one to shy away from a taste-off, rebutted, "The Cendol sold here is good and just nice in terms of sweetness. He claims that the price point here is alright too at $2.50 per bowl of Cendol." Oh, the sweet dilemma of cendol! @nasha and @x3rai transformed into cendol connoisseurs, battling it out for the perfect blend of flavors, leaving spectators undecided on which cendol to indulge in.

@kermit, with a twinkle in her eye, raved, "Finally tried the black sesame toast at coffee break!! Super shiok, especially if you like the kind of kaya toast with a slab of butter. The sesame balances out the creamy heavy butter super well, the toast is crunchy too!" Not to be outdone, @bbjiaksimi chimed in, "Also more butter than most places hurhur."

Maxwell Food Center - The Portion Predicament!

Maxwell Food Center - 1 Kadayanallur St, Singapore 069184

Opens: 8:00am - 2:00am.

@albert's excitement was evident as he shared, "Affordable cai png at Maxwell Food Centre! Stall name is HAPPY FOOD." However, @lilith, the no-nonsense critic, remarked, "Affordable but it looks so sad… It’s inching towards war-time portions of little protein & nutrients but more carbs." @x3rai added a heartwarming twist, "The aunty that serves me food at Happy Food stall is always very nice to me despite our language barriers as I am unable to speak Chinese. I patronize the stall often because of that."

Ah, the portion predicament! While @albert's celebrated the pocket-friendly cai png, @lilith had her nutrition radar on high alert. And there was @x3rai, proving that sometimes, a friendly aunty's warmth can trump the biggest of portion woes!
