Review of Makansutra Food Centre Beside Esplanade
-
I buried my head in a pillow when Seetoh took Bobby Chinn there to eat on World Café Asia.

wait till you eat oyster omelette in China, where the oysters are large, tender, fresh without the smell we have usually here.Originally posted by elindra:Sure if it is a thick fluffy omelette like above stuffed with large tender oysters like the one we had at Newton
You will never treat oyster omelette here as good. -
excerpts from an email reply MakanSutra gave when I gave my feedbackOriginally posted by Kuali Baba:I buried my head in a pillow when Seetoh took Bobby Chinn there to eat on World Café Asia.
"Honestly, you have not pointed out EXACTLY what you mean by bad/ mediocre food, it e.g. is the carrot cake too sweet or salty or oily? As you know, taste is subjective, and need majorityÂ’s consensus. And this is what we do in Makansutra. We have a group of Makan-mata (read: Makan police) who are experts in a certain dish, e.g. carrot cake, and they will eat at the stall anonymously. After which, we will compare notes and ratings and list them down.
And from your email, you seem to agree that the pricing is subjective, depending on taste and ‘value for money’, so I wont attempt to address this issue here."
In short, they are not going to do anything about it.
Really, if their makan-mata are so pathetic, I think we better change all of them -
I was simply shocked by the audacity of his plug. And in a way it's his own dining place.Originally posted by soul_rage:Really, if their makan-mata are so pathetic, I think we better change all of them

The place is overpriced and embarrassingly overrated.
Not worth a trip. -
strange,
whilst 100% of us here are not happy with the place one way or another, I see secondary school kids and college kids en-mass eating there that day, ordering all types of food, and being rowdy?
Why? is it coz the money that they spent is their parents, and they don't care?
Not to mention there are adult singaporeans as well.
Makansutra will say that there are Singaporeans who love that place coz I see silly people throwing away their money there.
Yet, I get disgust of the place here
PS: Or maybe many of them are like me. Go there and try once, then don't go back again. But if 1 million Singaporeans go there and try once, I think its enough to let those hawkers earn big bucks
