Happy Chef Western Foods Review: Cheesy Chicken Cordon Bleu At $10 At Lavender

Cheesy Chicken Cordon Bleu At $10 At Lavender | Happy Chef Western Foods Review Food at Happy Chef Western Foods We ordered a plate of Chicken Kiev ($10) , which they are best known for. We went a little wild over the food when it arrived – the picture displayed on the menu simply didn’t do the cheesy chicken any justice. The chicken cordon bleu had a crispy, battered exterior, with a layer of ham and a core stuffed with mozzarella.

To see whether the cheese was ooey, gooey and soft, we gave it a nice, long pull and were pleased with the results. The chicken, ham and cheese combined delivered an explosion of umami taste.

The dish was also served with a side of brown mushroom gravy, which elevated the flavour of the decadent dish. We requested for medium rare, and the slab of meat featured a pink interior that did not bleed, with a charred exterior. Lastly, we dug into our Happy Chef Chicken ($7) , which was slathered with barbecue sauce.

To go with your main is a slice of garlic bread and a choice of two sides, with options such as rice, mashed potatoes, potato salad, spaghetti, sunny-side up egg, and fries. The potato salad was very appetising, and was speckled with dots of black pepper.

While the french fries were thick and evenly salted, I’m uncertain if the mashed potatoes ladled with gravy were house-made, as it sure did taste like something out of an instant mix. The spaghetti, too, was a disappointment, as it tasted rather cheap.

Ambience at Happy Chef Western Foods The stall is located beside Michelin-starred Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles in Tai Hwa Eating House. My first impression of Happy Chef Western Foods was that it looked nothing out of the ordinary, easily mistakable for just another hawker stall serving your usual coffee shop Western food. The verdict Overall, I found the food served at Happy Chef Western Foods very value-for-money.

For a steak to cost only $9, I considered it quite a steal. Moreover, I had never tried anything like the Chicken Kiev before, and my first tasting was a delightful experience.

I probably wouldn’t order the chicken chop again though, as it was pretty run-of-the-mill. For more Western delights, check out these affordable kopitiam Western stalls and our review of The Pasta Boutique , which serves chilli crab chicken chop!
