Revisiting food memories: Jason Western Food
Growing up, my siblings and I used to always order Western Food from this defunct Western food stall located at a coffeeshop at Serangoon Central we called 688. However, after said coffeeshop went through a renovation, the previous Western Food stall tenant did not return. We had vivid memories of both the food and the stall itself — it was run by an elderly lady and her two sons; seeing them having a family squabble while running the stall was quite common.
After the stall moved out, my siblings and I started to wonder if they moved elsewhere. We had a partial answer as we found out one of the brothers, presumably called Jason, ran his own Western food stall (of the same name) in Toa Payoh at the Kim Keat Palm Market & Food Centre.
My brother and I were curious if the Western food tasted the same from the 688 coffeeshop days, so we decided to pay a visit for dinner on a Friday evening, together with our cousin and another friend.
The experience
Jason Western Food was definitely busy during the dinner period, with long queues and constant groups of customers waiting with their buzzers to collect…
