Food Republic latest edition is situated in Level One Suntec City Convention Centre. Similarly to its predecessors, it adopts a theme. No longer the nostalgia pre-war era theme, this time round is simply just Victorian library. The wallpapers display whole loads of neatly arranged books and customized rustic wooden tables with antique tablelamps and chairs are spaciously arranged.I was pretty impressed coz the decor looks classy and imagine that, it is well-ventilated. No more stinky hair side-effects. Dining experience is quaint and delightful.
Though the stalls are almost similar such as favorites Yong Heng Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee and the beancurd stall (cannot remb the name). I applaud for innovative names such as Sergeant Chicken Race Stall. At one corner, there is Toast Box serving nice pipping hot coffee and toast and various stalls lined up serving delectable local flavours.
The cooks are dressed like restuarant chefs with the chef uniform, crisp white apron and chef hat. In addition,out gone the aunty cleaners, in come young ladies dressed in impeccable black cheongsam, collecting your dishes. Initally I thought they are ambassadors but was shell-shocked when they revealed their identities. Somewhat, I was like dining in a restuarant just that do not have to pay service charge.
Their tagline "The best Asian Cuisine under one roof!" truly revolutionizes the whole concept of food court dining. Food Republic has once again scored.
