Our take: Tenderbest at Hougang appears to be struggling with consistency, both in food quality and service.
We've seen multiple reports of long wait times, with one customer waiting over an hour for an order that was mistakenly packed for takeaway.
This suggests operational issues with order tracking and communication.
Food quality is also a mixed bag; while some praise the crispy chicken chop, others report bland, dry dishes like the crispy fish and uncooked fried chicken.
The pasta dishes, specifically the aglio olio, also seem to miss the mark, with one reviewer noting it wasn't prepared in the traditional style.
We think the $6.80 fries with sauce might be a safe bet, given one reviewer called it "the best thing and the cheapest food dish." However, the overall sentiment points to a decline in standards.
We'd recommend approaching with caution and managing expectations, especially during peak hours when service issues seem to be exacerbated.
This is not a destination we'd recommend going out of your way for.

Ordered crispy skin chicken chop with usual coleslaw and fries. Chicken skin lived up to its name. Overall not bad and the piece of garlic bread was adequate.
Used to be a fan. Food has been getting worse overtime. For my past 2 orders the rice and crispy fish was bland and dry.
