One thing my makan buddies and I agree on, if not always on the choice of eatery or the taste/quality of its offerings, is that the term "hidden gem" has been overused to the netherworld and back by reviewers on social media.

Hidden? The joint is usually right there in plain view, only we choose not to notice it.
