Food at Bowl & Grill Simei It was a pity that rice was the only carb available when we visited, as the stall usually also offers pasta.

Chicken chop is a classic dish from Western stalls that most Singaporeans love, so we kicked off with the Chicken Chop With Mushroom Sauce Rice Bowl ($5.50) . 6 Western Food Stalls At Kopitiams Or Hawker Centres With Huge Portions Under $7 Sebastian, the owner of Bowl & Grill, is a proud Hainanese. He shared with me that the chicken chop was prepared with Hainanese influences, and was made in-house with a special marinade.

The bite-sized pieces of chicken were soft and tender, and the marinade was rich and full-flavoured. The mushroom sauce tasted earthy and comforting, which was not surprising as they were made with fresh mushrooms.

Hence, I went for their Grilled Salmon With Teriyaki Sauce Rice Bowl ($6.90) . Upon Sebastian’s recommendation, I as well topped the dish with a Chicken Cutlet With Nacho Cheese ($2 for add-on) . At first glance, the portions of salmon and chicken cutlet were sizeable, and I couldn’t wait to dig in.

Each piece of chicken was succulent, and it was nicely encapsulated by a crisp exterior. Many Singaporeans are cheese lovers, and I was glad that the nacho cheese was creamy, savoury, and delightfully cheesy.

It gave the chicken cutlet a smoother mouthfeel while notably deepening the savour profile of the dish. As such, I had to get their Teppanyaki Steak With Black Pepper Sauce Rice Bowl ($8.90) .

The black pepper sauce tasted slightly sour, and was missing a kick of pepperiness. Ambience at Bowl & Grill Simei The stall is situated in a laid back coffee shop in Simei.
