Changi T2 Foodcourt - Straits Food Village

Rong Cheng Bak Kut Teh, Straits Food - Changi Terminal 2

Tahun lalu di Changi T2 ada sebuah tempat makan berupa food court baru. Untuk saya yang biasanya selera lebih condong asia, atau malah 'njawani' kalau kata teman, seringkali tidak cocok dengan makanan di dalam Changi yang biasanya selera bule (kurang bumbu)

Hal ini yang saya rasakan di food court T2 sebelumnya, bisa dilihat di blog post ini : http://www.foodgrapher.com/2016/06/changi-terminal-2-food-court-tiger-air.html

Saya cenderung lari keluar imigrasi lalu ke Staff Canteen, atau sekarang disebut Changi T2 Kopitiam

Last year there's a new food court called Straits Food Village in Changi Terminal 2.
This is a welcomed change, since I wasn't that fond of the previous food court in T2, which you can read about here : http://www.foodgrapher.com/2016/06/changi-terminal-2-food-court-tiger-air.html

I'd usually opt to come out of immigration to the Land Side, and then visiting the staff canteen, which is now called T2 Kopitiam

Kali ini saya memilih tidak keluar dari Imigrasi ke bagian land side, karena banyaknya koper yang saya bawa, jadi tetap di air side saja. 

Layover kali ini lama banget, dan sempat tidur di Oasis Lounge T2.

Paginya saya makan paginya Sandwich di Subway.

On this particular trip, I brought a lot of luggage, and found traversing out to Land Side were a hassle. So I stayed inside air side, even slept on the Oasis lounge, since it was a long layover.

Afterwards at the early morning I had a Subway sandwich for breakfast earlier.

Subway Sandwich

Untuk siang karena sudah kangen nasi, akhirnya saya coba ke food court baru ini, walau skeptis apa bakal enak.
Dahulu untuk proses pesan dan bayar di food court cukup ke stall bersangkutan, diberi bon, lalu kita bayar ke kasir.

For lunch, I was a bit peckish, needing something heftier than a sandwich.
I ended up going to the new food court, albeit not having any high hopes due to my experience with the previous food court.

Back then, the process for ordering is quite ordinary. You visit the stall you fancy, get a bill, and pay that bill on the cashier.

 Kali ini ada perubahan cukup besar di cara pesannya
Pertama kita cek makanan yang kita inginkan di menu / stall

Lalu kita langsung pesan di mesin kios ini, pembayarannya bisa dengan kartu NETS (yang biasanya untuk bayar MRT /bis), credit card dan tunai.

This time they set a new modern way of ordering food.
You first find out what you want, either by looking a the digital menu or visiting the stalls.

Afterwards you just need to order on the digital kiosk, and pay using either NETS card (which you uses to pay subway / bus fare), credit card or cash.

Changi T2 Straits Food - Roasted Duck (S$7)

Saya coba hidangan bebek panggang di sini, dan rasanya minimal seenak Staff Canteen.
Buat saya cukup mengejutkan, karena biasanya hidangan food court di airside changi rasanya tawar dan tidak menggugah selera.

Dari segi harga juga cukup terjangkau di S$7

Untuk perbandingan, di luar airport atau di staff canteen, hidangan serupa dihargai antara S$4 sampai S$6 tergantung lokasi dan jenis resto / hawker center nya.

I tried the duck here, and found it at least on par with the staff canteen dishes. Which is big compliment for this kind of stall.
Price-wise I think it's also very affordable.
You'd get this around S$4-S$6 outside Changi / on staff canteen, where as here, you can have it for just S$7. Pretty darn cheap for an airport
