My opinion:

Hello sells traditional Singapore beverages including fruit juices, milkshakes and smoothies. For this review, I have tasted their orange juice for lunch.

I was completely stunned when the female owner handed me the drink in a small cup. As I opened the cap, I became totally speechless as the cup was filled from top to bottom with ice cubes ("watered down"). Although the drink was healthy, rejuvenating and sweet, it was unable to last more than 1 minute. Therefore, I will advise my blog readers to give this stall a miss and visit other refreshment alternatives in the same food centre.

Ways for the owners to improve their food ratings:

Increase the cup size and decrease the amount of ice cubes in the fruit juices.
