Our take: Mak's Place, or 'The Hawkerant,' presents a mixed bag.
While some patrons laud the 'western' dishes and the seafood, particularly the salted egg crab and crispy baby squid, others find the à la carte options less impressive.
The Yangzhou fried rice also gets a nod for its 'wokhey.' However, service appears to be a consistent point of contention.
We note reports of staff being inattentive, impatient, and even dismissive, with one reviewer detailing a 0-star service experience.
Wait times for food can also be significant, even when the restaurant isn't busy, with some customers needing to prompt staff for their orders.
Despite these operational challenges, long-time patrons appreciate the consistency and quality of certain dishes, highlighting a sense of loyalty built over decades.
We'd recommend Mak's Place if you're specifically looking for their seafood offerings and are prepared for potentially slow or indifferent service.
Best for those with patience, not for a quick meal.
