Bought mee robus home for my mother.
The noodle is only a portion, the egg is so small, tablespoon size. Problem with management who does not ensure quality and quantity. Staff does not take pride in their work. Consumer is not getting what has paid for. Disappointing to see business done this way. When mgmt don't see it as an issue, there would not be changes and improvement. We can hope but cannot will the result.

Bought a set of food for takeaway. Stall left out chicken wing . Called their so call helpdesk. Say will revert but never hear from them . Very unprofessional. Next day likely forgotten and life goes on. Careful what you buy from this stall. They leave out items and you loose out. Paying them but shortchange you.

The nasi lemak chicken thigh taste crispy but the meat not fully cooked (u can see from the picture). Laksa not the best, just fine.

This is horrible!
I brought direct from Nex outlet and had a rude shock when I open the box when I reached home that the print out is put inside the box on top of food. This is totally unhygienic!
This is not edible and have to throw away. Store manager please acknowledge this mistake so I can go back one of the day to claim back another set of popiah at Nex outlet.

I went here to dine at seranggoon.
Service not good.
In service industry, we have to give our best to all customer
Must we serve people by look at how they dress.
N I was given a smaller portion of rice.
While the other customer given a little more portion of rice.
When I went to one of the staff to ask..nothing is done for a service recovery
I feel it cheats..
It makes me doubts to come here again and eat.

Packed 4 packets of nasi lemak on 21st Oct, 4:15pm at Nex outlet. Service was poor as the staffs are “busy” with their own work & I stood there for 5mins patiently yet no one attended to me, only when I asked if anyone is ready to take my order then the Chinese lady attended to me.
The strand of hair was found in the packet of rice, so disgusted.

Sylvia Ang known as Ang Lay Kheng had normal Popiah. The chilli added the spiciness.

Right level of spice and peppered with minced shrimp (haebee). Serving is generous as you can see from the photos. Recommend for a hearty breakfast or lunch!

Tasted this restaurant few years back and now we have repeated order. We are happy that it still tastes good. Popiah and misiam are definitely recommended. Misiam kuah is so appetizing and delicious.

These guys made a name for themselves over the years in the local #MeeSiamPopiah scene!
In my mind, they are like the reference standard; and they have set the bar high 😆
At this nex outlet, the mee siam gravy is very consistent -- always tangy! Sometimes too much for my liking *choke* *sniff* lol.
You don't always get this level of sourness at other outlets, eg at their Oasis or Northshore joints... (Which begs the question: as a franchised operation, aren't they supposed to taste the same everywhere?)
Kudos to QiJi for using brown rice bee hoon, which is a healthier option that actually tastes good!
As for the popiah, needless to say it's yummy 😋 albeit lacking in meaningful ingredients. The pp skin is second only to Souperstar's 🤣 (which is thinner and softer).
Definitely worth a visit if you haven't tried 😃
P.S. I don't recommend any of the deep fried stuff!!!

Nice nasi lemak with generous portion of chilli. Will always add two fried chicken wings as it’s so tasty. Highly recommended

Craved their delicious popiah. Hougang outlet under reno. Visited Serangoon Next branch. Good food. Clean place. Not hygienic to place Queue no slip of paper on the plate tho.
Suggestion, stick Q no clips which is then clip to plate or bowl avoid touching the food?

A good place to unwind after a long shopping session.
The Mee Rebus and Laksa was enjoyable. They make good tea too.

We love qiji food. Comfort soul food. Minus one star for 30 cents for separate gravy. The original food comes with container, separate gravy no need container as the carbs is put in plastic bag. So effectively we paid 30 cents for plastic bag :(
