Our take: Lam's Kitchen at Race Course Road presents a mixed bag, with some diners praising its historical significance and specific dishes, while others express disappointment with current standards and pricing.
The salted baked chicken, priced at $8.90 with rice, receives some positive mentions for its flavour, though one reviewer found the portion small for the cost.
The bak chor mee, once a legendary dish, is now described as having a 'very dilute' soup and lacking its former glory, with some comparing it unfavourably to hawker centre versions.
Other dishes like the Teochew dumplings are noted as missing from the menu.
We also see mentions of an 'otah carrot cake' as a flavourful side.
Service attitude has been a point of contention for some.
Overall, while there are glimpses of its past reputation, the current offerings seem to be inconsistent.
We'd recommend it if you're curious about its legacy and are in the area, but manage expectations for the bak chor mee.

Great options to go with the salted baked chicken. Do try the otah carrot cake. probably the most flavourful carrot cake in town.
Noodles are bouncy and goes well with the chilli / vinegar. Soup wasn’t so full flavour.
