Our take: Encik Tan at Pioneer appears to be a mixed bag, with a clear divide in customer experience.
We note consistent complaints about the Chicken Cutlet Set, with multiple reports of small, dry portions and overcooked eggs.
The $6.50 Laksa, however, receives more positive feedback for its rich, thick broth, though some find the ingredients and noodle portions small, making it feel more like a snack than a full meal.
We also observed a significant complaint regarding staff attitude, which impacted one customer's overall experience negatively.
We think this outlet is best for those specifically seeking the Laksa, particularly on a weekend, given the positive comments on its taste and value in an air-conditioned setting.
We'd advise against the Chicken Cutlet Set based on the recurring feedback about portion size and quality.
Be prepared for potentially inconsistent service.

What customers say
Encik Tan at Pioneer receives mixed reviews, with a significant number of customers expressing disappointment over small portion sizes and dry, overcooked ingredients, particularly for the Chicken Cutlet Set.
While the Laksa is generally praised for its rich broth and value, some find its ingredients sparse.
A notable negative point is the poor staff attitude reported by one customer, contrasting with otherwise acceptable service mentions.

The smallest portion I've ever seen at Encik Tan. I typically love getting a good chicken cutlet rice at Encik Tan, but this outlet was incredibly stingy! The piece of cutlet was ½-⅓ the size I was ex…
