My opinion:

Otak Otak Kampong is extremely famous in Eunos, Geylang and Paya Lebar for its otahs. For this food review, my mother and I have tasted 5 of their otahs for the bargain price of around $2.00. Both of us were of the same opinion that though the price tag was "seductive", the food quality was compromised.

Otahs were flaky, rough and small. In fact, they were not of single pieces but broke up into several bits (photograph provided below). In terms of taste, the food items had a mild coconut fragrance and a strong fishy flavor. In the end, my mother had to throw away the last 2 otahs.

Therefore, we will advise our blog readers to be cautious with this stall. Do not order a few dozen otahs from them and regret your decision later.
