88 Food Connection is a food court that has undergone some changes over the years, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The once bustling food court now has a limited selection of kiosks, with only a few options available such as poke, noodle soup, spicy pot, bubble tea, and a rice place. The food court has a cafeteria-style setup, and visitors are expected to clean up after themselves.
While the prices at 88 Food Connection have increased, with dishes such as rice and beef costing $16 and noodle soup costing $15, the quality of the food is reported to be mixed. The tanghulu (a Chinese candied fruit snack) is said to have been stored in the freezer, affecting the texture, but the fresh strawberries and some of the other meats, like the lamb and squid skewers, were found to be quite tasty.
Overall, 88 Food Connection may not be the best option for those looking for a clean and upscale dining experience, but it could be a good choice for those craving specific dishes, such as tanghulu, that are difficult to find elsewhere.
