Mmmmh, this is what we should have eaten on Sunday. Nice juicy steak at Aston's Prime. Instead, we went to try this joint (which shall remain unnamed) and had lousy burger and ribs. Sometimes exploration isn't such a good thing, when you already know tried-and-tested places.
There, a much nicer cheeseburger with chopped mushrooms, and better fries too.
Close-up of the burger patty. Sorry I couldn't get a clear shot. I always have problems with the lighting at Aston's Prime. It's warm and cosy but hell for photography!
The cream of mushroom soup is a big hot bowl with generous chunks. But the slice of garlic baguette has seen much better days.
Actually, when we came here (this set of photos was from our second visit back in Nov 2008), there were very few customers at lunchtime on Saturday. I don't know if the recession will make business worse. Aston's Prime is still good value-for-money. Decent grub with no GST or service charge to inflate your bill. It's probably where I should go next time I'm craving steak and burgers, to avoid disappointment with other places.

care to *hint hint* about the location of the lousy burger so that we can at least take some precaution... *grinz*
ReplyDeleteTrue, *anticipating the hints for the burger joint that disappoints*
ReplyDeleteI understand the disappointment when trying out new places and most of the times, we just regret not going to the tried-and-tested places... The same thing goes to desserts too...
Before this post, the photos on flickr has already gotten my attention, the steak looks generously thick and the mushroom shop looks good as an appetitizer...
Even though it was mentioned in your blog that the lighting is warm, your photos has never fail to make me crave for savoury food...
Happy 牛 Year to you and your family... May Nadine and Jolie have a wonderful CNY with lots of red packets and sweet treats :)
