I was impressed with the serving time. I didn't expect to be ready that quick since I know usually western food would need some times to prepare. The salad was sweet, maybe from the sauce. It was nice. The steak was good. Nice pairing with the black peper sauce. The pasta was big portion, sauce was good as well.

One of the better western food stall in the northern part of Sg. We had to take away as there were no seats. The grilled salmon is thick, juicy and not over cooked. At $13.90 per set, it’s worth it for the quality indeed. Today’s promotion is 1-for-1 Samyang prawn carbonara pasta at $9.50. For authentic pasta lovers, you’ll be disappointed as it’s not quite the real thing. That said, the al-dente pasta, big prawns and almost laksa flavoured cream came together quite well. Staff is friendly in spite of peak busy crowd. Service is quick and efficient.

My 1st time trying this western stall. Used to be Astons' hideout. Pasta deal got 1 for 1, its some Korean sauce, very delicious and not too creamy even though its carbonara. Prawns were huge and fresh likely used quality IQF ones. Will be back again.

Banned. I ordered prawn n shroom aglio ( request without shroom). The appearance looked unappetising. The taste is just like overcooked instant noodle with heavy Ajinomoto , too soft and putus putus. Maybe the chef previously cook mee goreng mamak at mamak stall. The pictures tell the truth. Banned. Total dissatisfaction.

Food standard dropped. I was super excited every time i eat there but now not so much. Price went up, quality down. The most disappointing part is the chicken cutlet. It taste and look different from last time. Now also cannot change the corn cob. All fixed. Service also sub-par. A bit unfriendly. I scared... Updated review - Came back in after 5 months, price went up but so did the food portion and the customer service. Big portion and the chicken was nicely done and the cashier was very friendly. Kudos!

No words to describe how delicious and cheap their food is! HUGE portion sizes and really kind staff! I had an incident where my chicken slid off the plate and plopped on the floor... (thats how big the chicken is). I was actually so sad I cried :( but the staff reaplced it for free and even delivered it to my table (where I was crying omg) instead of using my buzzer... They are really too nice sia 👍 Onto the taste! My chicken cutlet was so fragrant and crispy! Thick and tender, we were really blown away by how chewy it was. Paired with their sour garlic aioli sauce it was really heavenly for just $10.50! Their signature char-grill had that smokey taste that pairs really well with their black pepper sauce! Their parmesan chicken was also really tender and juicy. The sweet marinara sauce goes really well with the salty cheese! But I ate again their parmesan chicken and it tastes different. More char-grilled smokey taste and the marinara sauce is spicy... Maybe flavour abit not consistent. The sides that come with the main dish is pretty decent. Their salad has sweet acidic lemon dressing with crunchy lettuce. Their aglio olio is a bit dry and plain tasting. We ordered a side of fries for $3.50 and it was a lot! Crunchy hot fries and we dumped a ton of their cheese and chilli flakes for free. Came here another time for their fish and chips. Of course, fish was large, crispy, and beautiful! Taste was okok only but combined with their tartar sauce it was good 👍 Also tried their chicken cheese baked rice. Delicious! Mild gooey cheese layered on hot rice, with thick chunks of char-grilled chicken! Yummy! My friends said the cheese was quite mild but they gave a lot and you can always add more shredded cheese on top! Update: 10 Aug 2023 has a new menu! Their chicken truffle alfredo tastes reaaally creamy and rich. It's like a heavier carbonara which tastes so good with their al dente spaghetti and char-grilled chicken chunks! Their beef lasagna is kind of expensive, $15.90, for a small piece of lasagna. I like how rich the tomato sauce is, but I think its not that worth compared to other stuff on their menu! I will go out of my way to come here again to try their other food! Just 8 minutes away from AMK Hub, behind Collin's at Jubilee.

I've tried a few things on the menu. The chicken chop was average but the half chicken was amazing. I would definitely get that again. Deliciously cooked just right. Not too dry. Comes in sambal kicap sauce that's not spicy but it's okay.

The lamb shank, flavoured rice and achar were da bomb. The achar was fresh, chunky and balanced in sweet, sour, savoury and spicy flavours. Wish this dish can be featured again after Ramadan or the achar in future in other dishes. The other dish I like is the sambal sea bass and the accompanying salad. Worth supporting!

Chicken chop is grilled and well marinated. Besides the baked rice, most of the food served is delicious. Recommend to try. They provide a good range of condiments.

Went down around 12:45pm on a weekday. It wasn't busy though it quickly was. Staff service is fine, food was ready quicker than expected. I had the Grilled Chicken Parmesan with Marinara Sauce, and feel its good portion-wise and taste-wise for the price.

Best chicken chop I’ve had. Love the charcoal burnt taste that seeps into the chicken meat. Sides were generous and sumptuous too! Really loved the creamy and smooth mushroom soup too. Highly recommended.

Absolutely enjoyed my meal because the portion was so generous! Plenty of sides to fill you up if the protein isnt sufficient. The black pepper chicken chop tastes just right, the sauce is on point. The gravy on mashed potato is also pleasant. Love how soft n juicy the corns are. The salad dressing is amazing 👏 The fish for the fish n chips is huge! Very crispy exterior and not too oily. I like how we can help ourselves to the parmesan cheese, ketchup n chili at the counter. However, one thing to note is the cleanliness of the utensils. Most of them weren't washed well, so do clean it properly.

Great food. Chicken cutlet with fries was great. Definitely the best if compared to other western hawker stalls. This actually tastes western, unlike others. Not oily. This restaurant would be great at a mall or air conditioning setting.
