Granny’s Secret

Go for the double boiled soups — homey brewed goodness.
The signature popiah is pretty good too — packed with tasty turnip and crunchy garlic and cracker bits. Would rather they use shrimp rather than the crab stick though.
The assam fish is meh. But the noodle dishes are usually pretty good.

This was a decent lunch. At work, a colleague told me about this place. I live near OG. I needed a quick solo lunch. So, I thought I would give it a try.
It is kind of hidden away in the back corner of the second floor of OG. It was not difficult to find though.
When I arrived, the restaurant was less than half full. I was quickly seated and provided a menu. For such a small and hidden away place, Granny’s Secret has quite an extensive menu.
Soon after, my order was taken. I selected the «Traditional Hokkien Mee» and a lime juice.
My lime juice and a water were quickly brought out. It wasn’t long before my food followed. I was asked if I wanted some red or green chili and they were supplied.
I do not know what Traditional Hokkien Mee is exactly supposed to be. So, I can only judge if I liked it. I did The bunch of spicy red peppers I dumped in helped quite a bit. Otherwise, it might have been a bit bland. It included mushrooms, pork, prawns, fish, and tofu. There were some basic veggies also. I enjoyed thhe noodles. I pretty much ate the whole thing. I thought the portion was filling.
I would note that one could probably get the same dish at the same quality at a hawker centre for less money.
The ambiance is very basic and functional. It is clean and neat.
The service was friendly and helpful.
Will I go back? I probably will. But only because of convenience. It is not a destination restaurant. However, if you are shopping in OG, and you are hungry and do not mind spending a dollar or two more, then it is a nice little option for lunch.
