A supermarket is where we usually get fast moving consumer goods and my narrow definition is just that, and nothing more. But at fortune supermarket which is super near my apartment, it has something which is relatively unique in Singapore.
There's a Halal-certified eatery within its small premises! As the shop space has always housed a supermarket, my calculation is that this Fatty Bom Bom Junior, with its kitchen, tables and chairs, takes up a significant 30-40% of the area. I have been eyeing the food for quite some time as i would always jog past and can't help noticing the steady flow of customers, despite opening for business just a few months ago.
It's time for me to give it a try! The menu was extensive and when asked on what's the most popular, the cashier suggested and i ordered chicken cutlet with spaghetti (as they had already run out of rice and i didn't want to wait 30 minutes).
A friend mentioned that Fatty Bom Bom already has a few outlets in Singapore; i counted 13 on their facebook page and you may check it out for their locations.
At S$7.50, the price point wasn't neighborhood-friendly but portion was substantial with two pieces of chicken cutlet sitting on a bed of spaghetti, a bun and mashed potato. No water provided but hey, you are in a supermarket; just a grab a drink from the fridge and let the main tenant earn something too.
Look at the thickness of the cutlets!
Batter was crispy with the chicken meat retaining a juicy and oily texture! I do see many school children eating here and i totally can understand as this would be the sinful kind of chicken cutlet i would love to eat in my young days when weight control wasn't an issue.
Going into my second piece!
Frankly, i am not much into spaghetti and the one at Fatty Bom Bom kind of looked like a stomach filler with taste being placed on a lower rung. Turned out i couldn't resist the sweet, tangy sauce as i unwittingly kept putting in more and more pasta into my mouth until i cleaned up the box.
The unassuming fried bun; totally unexpected, it wasn't oily at all, with a fluffy texture and a thin layer of crispness that made it a delightful conclusion for my meal.
=====
Too much carbohydrates for just this one meal. Satisfying nevertheless even though i do hope they could be more eco-friendly by not providing disposables for in-house dining.
