Block 378 Clementi Avenue 5 is an area we regularly frequent for breakfast or lunch for the last 16 years or so, dating from the time when our son was studying at Clementi Town Secondary School. The coffee shops and food stalls have come and gone, but the choice has always been the reason why we often come back.
378 Eating House has gentrified over the past few years, but one stall has remained largely unchanged. And that is Sinar Bahru Muslim Food, run by Karim and his helpers / family members. It used to be located at a neighbouring coffee shop but at its present position, it gets more business than ever. Its famous nasi lemak remains at $3.50, and they even apologised when the price was raised from $3 several years ago, post-pandemic.

We used to enjoy a great bak chor / fishball noodles, a wonderful popiah and rojak but those stalls have all gone. It's just too difficult to make a profit, when the items sell at $2 or $4 these days. All the prices have gone up, and diners will have to make informed choices before they eat. Suffice to say, this is one local coffee shop we will visit for a long time to come.

| This new Western stall has a basic chicken chop with pasta aglio olio for just $5.80. Good value. |
