Dated dish reviews

How it holds over time

Some softening

Considering the recent reviews, there appears to be a slight softening in the overall satisfaction with Roti Road’s satay compared to the earlier period. While many patrons still found the chicken satay flavourful and enjoyable, a small increase in negative feedback suggests a potential decline in consistency, particularly when alongside comments regarding texture preferences.
