13th Oct 08
I was on leave from 9th till 12th Oct. I really enjoyed it, mind filled with too much stuffs. I decided to start with FOODS!!
On 9th, Jazs and I went over to Balestier 'Founder Ba Kut Teh' - Located at "347 Balestier Road". This store was really famous, once you walk in, you will know. Why? Coz you will be welcome with lots of celebs photos taken with the boss. *I think got 40 plus pics!! Without further delay, show you what we ate.
Rice, Ba kut teh (Re-fillable), you tiao, pig trotters, beansprouts. Cost us around $25.
Take a closer look. The soup was very peppery!! The porky meat with the chill black sauce, was really nice!
This is heavily sinful with fats... But I muach everything down!
Overall I feel that service was kinda fast. (Within 10min, all dishes placed right in front of u!) I suggest you go over 11am to avoid Lunch crowds.
Next stop....
On 12th, I finally get to eat 'Aston Specialties (Katong)' located at "119 East Coast Road (opposite Katong Mall)" I went with Jazs & Cindy for our dinner, reaching there around 6.45pm. Looking at the usual queue nearly turn us off. Eventually it turns out pretty fast, within 15mins, order were taken while in queue. Seated for another 10mins, foods went slowly served to us.
This is what I ate : Ribeye Steak Xtra Cut - Medium Well - $16.90
Griggles went crazy over it!
Jazs ate : Lemon & Lime Chix - $6.50
Cindy had : Double up chix (Crispy & Pepper Chix) - $10.50 *Worth it!!!!
Our verdicts are similar!! Price worth it! Foods really Great!! You don't have that 'fried, oily' smell on your shirts after dining! Same rule applies : Dinner, be there around 5.30pm, queue were really scary at times.
Will update you guys with other outings again!
