50 cents Feast @ Chinatown

7/30/2017

I was really excited last weekend when I chanced upon the 50 cents feast advertisement on TV and immediately thought of grandparentsKwan since it brings back those old memories. Went to google about it and understand that it is the 4th year that Singapore Food Festival has held the events. It is set up with an 80s makeover with street hawkers and there will be long lost dialect recipes such as the Hokkien Rickshaw Noodle, UFO (Fried Oyster Cake), Hakka Abacus Seed, Red Glutinous Wine Chicken, Teochew Ah Balling, Ice Ball and more! Most importantly, the dishes will only cost about $0.50-$2.00 per dish depending on stalls.

The grandparents are really excited about the event as well as we decided to head there for early lunch to avoid possible queue and crowd. Event starts at 11am and we arrived since 10.30am and managed to secure a table for 6 of us.
Sounds good? Read on.
We noticed that the food sold was mediocre, nothing fantastic about the taste and the portion given per bowl is pathetic. Each stall was lined up with plenty of people queuing for food. As the venue was crowded with people, it was frustrating to queue for every single food and extremely humid since there is poor ventilation.
Poor grandparentsKwan ended up not wanting to queue for any hawker stall as they cannot stand for long so we have them seated at the table and wait for us to buy back the food. After going around buying from various stalls for almost 45 minutes and finally head back to rest and eat, it disappoints us because none of them is tasty. Felt total waste of time, money and calories as we munched down the food with grandparentsKwan nagging about not wanting to come for such event anymore.
To make things worse, none of us was full despite spending over $48 on the food! Will not recommend going for such an event in future. BOOHOO!
