Our take: 21 Cafe, located in Boon Lay Shopping Centre, appears to be a mixed bag, with some stalls standing out more than others.
The Ayam Goreng Berempah, priced at $5, receives praise for its fragrant, flavourful profile, crispy skin, and tender meat, though some note it can be oily.
The Chinese noodles stall also gets a positive mention for its satisfying portions and value.
However, the pricing of other items, like cai fan at $6.80 and kopi o kosong, has drawn criticism for being on the higher side compared to neighbouring coffeeshops.
A significant point of contention is the drink stall's policy regarding ice, with one customer reporting refusal to sell ice for an externally purchased mineral water, despite another stall vendor being permitted to buy ice.
This inconsistency suggests potential issues with customer service or policy clarity.
Verdict: Best for a quick, affordable meal if you stick to the recommended Ayam Goreng Berempah or Chinese noodles, but be prepared for potentially higher prices on other items and inconsistent service at the drink stall.
