Style Palate at Woodleigh Village Hawker Centre

Cold Angel Hair Pasta and Duck Confit

I was really curious about this stall (202C Woodleigh Link #01-30). They promoted things like cold angel hair pasta for just S$6 (US$4.50) and duck confit for just S$12 (US$9), making it sound a bit like Saveur or The Masses, but even cheaper.

And indeed, that's what it was. Their food similarly could've used a few less ingredients. But this was particularly pronounced in that over-truffled (and even slightly acidic) pasta, not to mention a jellyfish special that they served tonight. That duck confit in the background was forgettable too.

So no, I didn't like it, and my preference for hawker center duck confit would be Eddy's. But I love the idea of such affordable food, especially at a shiny new gigantic hawker center. I only wish Ah Bong's would come back.
