The Ang Mo Kio Hub outlet, for instance, is decorated to set you in the Halloween mood, complete with Jack-o’-lanterns, witch’s hats and staff donning Halloween costumes and make-up.

Celebrate this spooky yearly event with the Halloween-themed sandwich. You can choose between a chicken or beef patty.

Jack the Ripper beef sandwich
S$15.90++

In the mouth-watering Jack the Ripper sandwich, you will find buttered toast piled high with ten layers including onion rings, scrambled egg, beef patties, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. You may dislocate your jaw in an attempt to fit the mighty big sandwich in your mouth; there are just so many layers!

Although cutting it with a knife and fork may create an unwieldy mess, the knife stabbed in the heart of the sandwich does help to keep the sandwich in place. I have to eat the various ingredients separately, and they’re all delicious!

The beef patty is juicy, moist and tender, with at least two layers in the sandwich. The scrambled egg isn’t overcooked or runny; it’s just right! The cherry on top of the cake will have to be the toothsome onion rings! All the ingredients combine harmoniously to form a delicious sandwich.

Bloody Eyeballs
S$8.90++

The perfect drink to have at Halloween will be the creepy Bloody Eyeballs. It is a fizzy drink composed of strawberry and raspberry syrup, with a pair of lychees stuffed with grass jelly to resemble eyeballs. The cheeky act of chewing on the eyeballs definitely fits the spirit of Halloween! This drink is available on the menu all year round.

As for the Jack the Ripper sandwich, it is only available till November 7, 2011. So hurry down to grab your spooky-licious meal before Halloween is over!

Gurney Drive, inspired by the famous food heaven of the same name in George Town, Penang, has brought a range of Penang hawker cuisine to our shores. Prepared by a chef who has lived in Penang half his life, you can be sure to expect delectable and authentic Penang fare.

Penang lor bak
S$3.90++

The Penang lor bak, a dish of succulent pork wrapped in fried homemade beancurd skin, is a must-order. It had us fighting over the last piece!

Penang rojak
S$3.90++

Though I enjoy the overall dish and usage of fresh fruits to lighten up the mixture of the Penang rojak, the experience could have been improved had the youtiao (dough fritters) been fresher and crispier.

Seafood fried kuey teow
S$9.90++

The seafood fried kuey teow, featuring a specially created sauce added with prawns, squids and cockles, is much more flavourful and delicious than the usual local versions I have tried.

Penang Assam laksa
S$5.50++

Cooked in an appetising traditional gravy, the authentic Penang Assam laksa would have you lapping up every last drop.

Penang Hokkien prawn noodle
S$5.90++

Simmered till perfection in the chef’s special prawn-based soup, it’s no surprise that the ultra flavourful Penang Hokkien prawn noodle is a best-seller. It sure is the highlight of our meal.

Ampla juice
S$2.50++

Ampla juice is a drink commonly found in Penang. The ampla fruit — commonly referred to as the Indian gooseberry — is surprisingly refreshing once you get used to its sweet and sour flavour. It is also one of the richest known sources of vitamin C and is rich in anti-oxidants!

Bandung with chin chow (grass jelly)
S$2.50++

With grass jelly for added texture, the fragrant bandung (sweet rose syrup and evaporated milk) serves as a great end to the meal.

Besides serving food, Gurney Drive also carries a variety of Penang goodies like Ghee Hiang tau sar pneah and almond cookies. These products are baked in Penang and delivered to the Singapore store within the same day.

With satisfying Penang dishes sold at affordable prices, it is no wonder that the Gurney Drive restaurants are very popular with working professionals in the area during the lunch hours. I’m definitely coming back the next time a Penang food craving arises!

Unlike your typical Chinese restaurants that tend to go for a classy or modern look these days, the decor here is decked out like a traditional Chinese inn. Even the staff are dressed in costumes from that era!

Whether it is the brick walls, the square-shaped wooden tables and chairs, or the rows of ancient Chinese wine that fill the shelves, the quaint decor makes you feel as though you are in a period drama. To match the rustic ambience, the cooking certainly does not disappoint either.

Duck roasted with Ten Wonder herbs
S$12.80-34.80++
Rating:

The main specialty of this mid-priced restaurant chain is the herbal roast duck. You can choose from 3 types of herbs — Angelica herbs (Dang Gui), Ten Wonder herbs or wild ginseng.

The Ten Wonder herbs are basically a combination of ten herbs that include Codonopsis root, Chinese Foxglove root and licorice root. The herbs are supposed to promote longevity and soothe the mind. Feeling stressed? You know what to eat!

Apart from the obvious health benefits of the herbs, the duck meat is tender, juicy and soaked in the most delicious sweet sauce. Even for someone that prefers chicken over duck any day, this dish remains deeply enjoyable. Bonus: The thin crispy skin!

Braised shark’s fin broth with crab meat
S$23-46++
Rating:

As you can see, the braised shark’s fin broth is chock full of ingredients. Tinged with the sweetness of crab meat shreds, this easily trumps any shark’s fin soup at Chinese wedding banquets!

You would notice that many of the dishes on the menu are denoted with little red logos. These represent the Singapore Health Promotion Board’s Healthier Dining Program, which means that the dishes are cooked with less oil, salt and sugar.

Stir-fried lotus root with macadamia nut
S$10.80-21.80++
Rating:

One dish that I favour less is the lotus root with macadamia nut, but mostly because I am not a huge fan of the greens. The crunchy nuts are very much welcome though!

Stewed Ee-Fu noodle with Conpoy (dried scallop) & Golden mushroom
S$8.80-17.80++
Rating:

To fill the stomach, share a pot of the stewed Ee-Fu noodle. This is tossed with dried scallop and Golden mushroom. Cooked with sufficient flavour, it is one of the better renditions that we have had.

Garoupa slices with carrot sauce
Rating:

The garoupa slices with carrot sauce is rather average and unmemorable.

Braised mushroom, sea cucumber & abalone
S$29-59++
Rating:

Love the braised mushroom, sea cucumber and abalone. The mushrooms are simply satisfying, oozing out delicious juices as you bite into each one.

D-Boiled Hashima
S$5.30++
Rating:

Dessert lovers should leave room for the chilled Hashima. This isn’t one for the squeamish though, as Hashima is made from — gulp! — the dried fallopian tubes of true frogs! Still, when it is made into a dessert like this, you kinda forget that the jelly-like substance actually comes from a frog. Served cold in a sweet soup with ginseng and red dates, this is light and refreshing.

Here are the aforementioned ancient Chinese wine. Does anyone else just wanna drink heartily?

I remember there was once when a dozen of us crowded into the restaurant at Plaza Singapura. Shortly after sitting down to look at the menu, we had to make a rather embarrassing escape when we realised that we couldn’t afford the food! Yes, back then a Fish & Co meal seemed unattainable for us.

So, I think it’s great news that they are making their food extremely affordable now! From Sundays to Thursdays between now and October 31, they are reeling in customers with the fabulous Autumn Seafood Sensation promotion. Four seafood dishes are now priced at just $9 each!

Their fish and chips is rumoured to be the best in town. With this attractive promotion, it’s a great opportunity for everyone to put it to the test!

I did. So have they passed with flying colours?

Swiss fish & chips
S$9++
Rating:

The restaurant chain is famous for their seafood-in-a pan concept, where the dishes are served in little pans (though I’m pretty sure they don’t cook the food in them). Deep-fried to a lovely golden brown and topped with the signature garlic lemon butter sauce, the Swiss fish and chips certainly pass the initial looks test. The ample slab of dory fish helps a lot, too.

Still, none of that can prepare me for how awesome the batter is. It is one of the lightest, crispiest batter I have tasted, comparable to Japanese tempura! As for the flesh, it is tender, lightly salted and savoury throughout.

Look, it is even stuffed with Gruyere cheese!

This is, without a doubt, one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. (Hmm… I find that I have been using that phrase a lot lately.)

Another place that claims to have the best fish and chips is The Manhattan Fish Market. I haven’t had theirs before, but if it’s similar to the deep-fried fish fillet that they serve in their Flaming seafood platter, then it pales in comparison to Fish & Co’s.

Well, what do you think? Does Fish & Co have the best fish & chips?

Thai’s Deluxe Catch
S$9++
Rating:

One very flavourful dish included in the promotion is the Thai’s Deluxe Catch. It comprises of grilled dory fish, served with paella rice and a pile of fresh clams cooked in succulent tomato sauce.

The thing that “Thais” it together is the red curry ladled over the fish. The curry sauce is thick and sour, a very different rendition from your typical sweet Thai curry. I guess this is the tom yam edition. It goes well with the rice, and every bite is bursting with flavour!

With the promotion, both dishes cost just $9++!

Click to enlarge

Terms & Conditions:
- Promotion is not valid at the Paragon and Ion Orchard outlets.
- Seafood baked rice is not available at the Jurong Point outlet.
- Promotion is valid from Sundays to Thursdays excluding eve and day of public holidays.
- Promotion is valid for all day dine-in only.
- Promotion is not valid in conjunction with any other promotions, discounts, privileges, vouchers, and/or offers.

I really like the fact that the promotion is valid on Sundays, too. For your next meal, take advantage of these $9 Autumn Seafood Sensations! You can pick from:

• Swiss fish & chips
• Seafood baked rice
• Captain’s Catch (barbecue sauce)
• Thai’s Deluxe Catch (red curry sauce)

Aside from the food, I also notice that a copy of the restaurant’s newsletter is placed on every table. The quarterly publication contains the latest happenings and promotions at all the restaurants operated by the same company (that includes Giraffe Bar, too). This way, customers have something to read whilst waiting for their food. That’s a very cheap and clever marketing method! Another place that provides such light reads is tcc.

The newspaper-style design and the cute name really appeal to me. Can you catch what the name is?

Well, you probably can’t get it at KFC these days. But I’ll tell you where you can. Popeyes!

No, not the spinach-eating cartoon character. Not exactly. I’m referring to Popeyes, the world’s second largest fast food chain specialising in chicken!

But hey, if we’re talking about food quality, Popeyes trumps its biggest competitor any day. Not only are the chicken and fries tastier and crispier, they are less oily, too.

3-piece chicken combo
S$9.80
Rating:

For the chicken flavours, you have the choice of New Orleans Spicy or Louisiana Mild. I haven’t had the chance to savour the buttermilk biscuits and mashed potatoes (they ran out), but I hear they are amazing!

Each time I eat the KFC fried or popcorn chicken, the breaded crispy skin is very thick and, frankly, not very crispy or appetising. After a while, I just feel like I am chewing on cardboard. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Popeyes’ chicken is different; the skin is light, crispy and simply a joy to eat. What’s more, it retains that amazing crispiness even long after I’ve taken a hundred photos of it!

Just as satisfying are the French fries. They remain surprisingly crunchy even towards the end of the meal, golden brown with the wonderful flavours of Cajun spices.

Seriously, nothing turns me off more than munching on soggy fries. There’s really no excuse when they’re already soggy when you’ve only *just* ordered them off the counter. That’s McDonald’s and KFC I’m talking about.

While the restaurant was originally named after the fictional detective Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle in the movie, the French connection, Popeye the sailor eventually became the main character fronting the marketing efforts.

That’s also why you get to watch old Popeye’s cartoons while digging in! Very classic :) after Disney Naturally closed down, this is one other cartoon-themed eatery where parents can bring their kids.

Interesting titbit: the late founder Al Copeland amusingly claimed that he named the restaurant “Popeyes” because he was “too poor” to afford an apostrophe. Haha :)

I wish there were more Popeyes restaurants in Singapore besides the ones at Changi Airport and Singapore Flyer. For many people that need a quick fix of fried chicken, they have no choice but to head to the more ubiquitous KFC.

Update: New outlets have opened! See below.

Better yet, throw in home delivery, too! I’m sure Popeye’s killer biceps can handle that.

Yes, all the Astons Express outlets across the island are situated at coffee shops. That means you pay cheap, cheap coffee shop prices! Not bad at all, considering the fact that they have also passed our taste test with flying colours.

The main courses include a large variety of chicken cutlets, steaks and burgers. For each main course you get to select two sides, including coleslaw, French fries, onion rings, baked potato, mashed potato, etc. I love to be given the freedom of choice!

Teriyaki chicken (with French fries and onion rings)
S$5.90
Rating:

Ever a chicken fan, I go for the teriyaki chicken with the sides of French fries and onion rings. Maybe I’m just really easy to please, but everything about it is good! The chicken is a thick and juicy slab of meat. The fries are yummy with red pepper powder sprinkled all over. Unlike the soggy fries I have had at many places, these remain extra crispy even after I’m done with the chicken!

Also worth mentioning are the onion rings. They help me realise that all my life I’ve been eating way too few of them!

Of course, the teriyaki sauce is irresistible too. In fact, my only gripe is that there is too little of it. I know some sellers like to nag at you when you ask for more sauce. But next time I’m gonna ask anyway. Yes, I will be back.

Crispy chicken (with French fries and mashed potato)
S$5.90
Rating:

The crispy chicken is your usual deep-fried chicken cutlet from western food stalls. It’s nothing special, except that boy, do you get a huge cutlet! It’s about fifty percent bigger than my teriyaki chicken! Can it be that ladies get a smaller cut of meat than guys? I hear some sellers do have such a practice, although I’m not sure whether it holds true in this case.

Oh by the way, the side of mashed potato is yum-yum. See? I’m easy to please!

As the name suggests, you can find teh tarik here plus a gazillion other drinks. There’s Milo Dinosaur, teh halia (ginger tea), various ice blended drinks, just to name a few. Read my earlier review on Mr. Teh Tarik Cartel to find out more about the drinks!

Perhaps Mr. Teh Tarik is more well known for the vast variety of drinks. But do you know that they whip up many yummy dishes to go along too?

Roti John Chicken
S$3.50
Rating:

One of my favourite Muslim dishes is roti john. Most of the time, it is served with plenty of chilli sauce.

At Mr. Teh Tarik, the roti john is served with very delicious chilli sauce AND creamy mayonnaise too. Simply sedap (yummy)! This additional condiment makes a world of difference.

Plus, the way they squeeze it in a cute checkered pattern over the French bread is just neat!

Oh by the way, if you aren’t too familiar with this dish, check out my earlier writeup on how roti john came about and got its name. It’s pretty interesting!

Chicken Briyani
S$6
Rating:

Of course, there’s also nasi briyani for people that prefer eating rice rather than bread. We had asked for our chicken to be deep fried. It turned out pretty well, although I would still go for roti john any day!

So, for those of you looking for a late night supper place, you now have another option! That’s great for all of us, right?

I tend to think that Christmas trees look best at night, when their lights come on. But in this case, I must say that the tree looks awesome in the day too!

And my, doesn’t the tree look all cheery? The layering of balls in red, yellow and blue, and the candy canes lined up neatly side by side really gives the cute to its overall look.

Of course, there’s the jolly old man himself. He welcomes all visitors to the hub and seemingly blows bubbles into the air! You can’t get any jollier than that!

I like the decor around the tree too. The huge candy canes in the traditional red and white diagonal stripes help form the pillars supporting the base of the tree.

Guess who else you haven’t met?

Frosty the snowman and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer! Frosty sure looks cute with his rosy pink cheeks in the sweltering heat of Singapore.

If you think that’s all, just wait ’til the night falls.

That’s when the big bright stars stamping the tree come aglow, surrounded by thousands of tiny fairy lights.

This is certainly the cutest Christmas tree around and one that kids would totally love!

This is how Mr. Teh Tarik looks like in its (his?) former days. People would drink their teh under big umbrellas.

Photo by dc6

Still, it’s always a good thing to see a thriving business being able to upgrade itself! In fact, this reminds me very much of the game lemonade tycoon.

I used to run a little lemonade stall in the game. Similarly, I started out with a tiny lemonade pushcart and eventually was able to afford an air-conditioned stall with multiple upgrades! Haha!

But I digress. At Mr. Teh Tarik Cartel, you can enjoy both hot and cold drinks, including the Milo Dinosaur and Horlicks dinosaur! They also have all different renditions of teh. teh o, teh tarik, teh halia. You name it, they have it.

Iced Milk Tea & Hot Ginger Tea Si
S$1.50 & $0.90
Rating:

So I put that to the test. I ordered teh halia si (tea with ginger and evaporated milk), and — surprise, surprise — they actually had it!

Prices here are extremely affordable too. No wonder the place is always packed and people have trouble finding seats!

Not only do they have tea, they serve coffee too, similarly with all the different renditions. So the next time you’re done dining at one of the numerous restaurants at Far East Square or China square, do pop by Mr. Teh Tarik Cartel to get your fix of teh or coffee!

You can almost hear it scream! Now what the heck am I talking about? Botak Jones, of course.

Botak Jones is the brainchild of an American that promises to bring authentic American food to the heartland. The Ang Mo Kio branch is its second branch, after Tuas. Business here is so good, many customers actually wait around patiently until the stall opens at 12 noon. With all the hype, the food had better be damn good!

The menu was made up of sheets of photocopied yellow paper stapled together. And it sure was an extensive one! Every item had a descriptive paragraph that followed, written in a light-hearted and very informal style. They also had the menu on a chalkboard right in front of the stall.

The staff were all extremely energetic and friendly, taking care to recommend various dishes on hearing that I don’t eat beef. One of the dishes they recommended was the Swanky Franky hot dog. Lucky for me it was available in chicken too. So that was what I had!

Swanky Franky
S$9 for set meal (includes chips & coleslaw)
Rating:

It was wrapped in bacon and had melted cheddar cheese on top! Doesn’t that sound appetising? I did a double take when I saw the gargantuan serving size. That was easily the largest hot dog I have ever seen! Throw in the hot dog bun and the heap of chips at the side, I could finish just three quarters of the food. It was an American serving all right!

Taste-wise I didn’t actually think the hot dog was any special. But thanks to good customer service, we were given many bottles of mustard and varied sauces that helped a lot. I really liked the chips though — thick, crispy, fluffy on the inside, and lightly dusted with Botak Jones’ own spice mix. Yum!

The Double Botak, with Cheese & Whoopass Con Carne
S$9 for set meal (includes chips & coleslaw) + $1 for Cheese + $2.50 for Whoopass Con Carne

Check THAT out! My friend ordered his usual double Botak burger with add-ons of cheese and Whoopass con carne. Boy, it was huge! I sampled a little of the beef patty and found it to be delightfully tender.

Air Flown NZ Ribeye Steak (medium rare, served with chips & coleslaw)
S$13 for 200 grams
Rating:

Same goes for the steak. It was extremely tender. Chewy, but not tough. Marinaded nicely and seared carefully in such a way that the rich juices ooze out as you chew. This was one good quality steak! And don’t you just love those cross patterns?

Those daring slogans on their staff’s shirts and aprons are pretty cool too. Throughout our meal the staff were very friendly. They would ask us how the food was, etc. We actually spotted the boss himself at the coffee shop. But he may have been just a random botak (bald) dude.
