Big Mama's Restaurant

Trying to combat my morning sickness again that day by going out with my buddy to have our usual lunch date, at the same time retrieving a package sent over by my dad. So we set our eyes on a place that serves something that might be light on my stomach, which is Big Mama's Restaurant


Location: In Kiulap area, just right between the pet shop and the flower shop, and also opposite the block where Escapade (Kiulap branch) is

Setting: Typical old-school Chinese kopitiam-style
Atmosphere: 4.5/10 (a little lack of patronage, even though it's already lunch hour time, though sadly it used to be very popular with hustle-bustle of customers)
Design: 5.5/10 (nothing too special and nothing too different than the last time I've been here, which was forever ago)




Drinks: Coke (my buddy) and chrysanthemum tea (mine)
Presentation: 5/10 and 4.5/10 respectively (my drink looks surprisingly bland)
Taste: 5/10 (for my tea, coz this is really those old-school, without any indoctrinating and without sugar, just plain pure tea with chrysanthemum in it)




Food: Fish porridge (mine, had no choice since I couldn't stomach anything solid) and fried boxing (?) chicken (my buddy)
Presentation: 6.5/10 for both
Taste: 7.5/10 (my porridge was surprisingly delicious. I've always had an aversion for rice porridge since I've been shoved down the throat with it since I was a kid due to my ill-prone body, but this was actually quite delicious, with the right taste. Though I wish they didn't make it so watery; where I come from, porridge should be gooey like oatmeal)

It's a recommendable place, and real dire need to be revived, because the first time I went there, the food was great (still is) and patronage was amazing and service was top notch. So if you fancy Chinese food, give this place a shot. They need it
