Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Picky Snout, located in a Kovan kopitiam, offers a menu centered around rosti dishes, with the Creamy Mushroom Chicken Rosti ($11) frequently highlighted.

We note a general consensus that the rosti itself is a strong point, often described as crispy on the outside and soft within, holding together well without falling apart.

The chicken components, particularly the grilled chicken chop in the creamy mushroom dish, receive positive remarks for tenderness and flavour.

However, there are recurring criticisms regarding seasoning, with some finding the rosti and fried eggs under-seasoned.

Portions of accompanying elements like salad dressing and sour cream are also cited as insufficient.

While some find the prices a bit high for a kopitiam setting, the move to a more spacious and airy location at 210 Hougang is a welcome change for regulars.

We'd recommend Picky Snout for those specifically craving a well-executed rosti, but be prepared to ask for extra seasoning or sauces if you prefer bolder flavours.

What customers say

Picky Snout generally receives positive feedback for its rosti, often described as crispy outside and soft inside, though some find it underseasoned or inconsistently prepared.

The creamy mushroom chicken is a popular dish, praised for its tender chicken and rich sauce.

However, some customers feel the prices are high for a kopitiam setting, and certain dishes like the Saigon pork or sausages are considered average or tough.

Service can also be slow, and seasoning is sometimes lacking.
