  Had lunch at picnic food court at Scotts today. Ordered the dry beef ball noodles at $3. Had no problem with the price and the standard quite okay. The only thing is, when you order "dry" at this stall, they DO NOT give you a small bowl of soup which is "customary" when you order any noodles "dry" right? Or so I thought ...
  
  I asked the lady for a small bowl of soup and she replied that we don't serve with soup. If I want, I have to pay a dollar for a bowl of soup or order a seperate beef ball or beef/tripe soup. I paid for a bowl of soup for $1 and it only had tow gay and some kiam chye.
  
  I smiled at her, paid an extra dollar and said to her that this is the last time I eat beef noodles at this stall. And yes, I will tell my friends ... so my friends, now you know. And that is why I will not have beef noodles at this stall anymore. Heck, I may give up eating beef noodles altogether ...

  Actually they served the soup last time. Then gradually, people wondered where the soup went.

  Since scotts renovated their food court, i have not had the chance to try the food there. I took a walk some time back and found the ambience pretty good, but neglected to try the food.
  
  The previous beef noodles offered there before renovations was a franchise chain of beef noodles. I didn't like it at all. As to asking for a dollar more for soup, i think it's merely up to the stall management's style. If they charge for soup then either you take it or leave it.
  
  However if i were you i would have asked for the head honcho of the stall to find out if it is indeed the management's policy to charge extra for a bowl of soup.

  You should try the beef noodles near the Old Hougang South Interchange at the coffee shop near the DBS Bank. But be prepared to queue....for abt 1hr...better than East Coast one. Order the $4 one, comes with succulent beef strips and tripe etc.

  only at this food court?
  what abt others?
  
  i always order the special set, that come with the meat balls, regardless of which food court.
  
  is really foolish to charge $1 for soup.

  its not the point, what if all your food you have to do that, eat chicken rice, muz pay for soup and chili sauce.
  
  anyways, im gonna skip dat stall for sure, it sucks. even if pay 1 dollar for soup, at least make it worthwhile mah.
