Western Food

This Western Grill located in a Kopitiam across Clement Mall is cheap and good. Offers Burpple deals but the items on offer was not so interesting for me so I ordered all carte Grilled Chicken.

The chicken was nicely charred on the outside and tender in the inside. For $8.90 a plate, you also get corn in cob, salad vegetables and choice of carbs like mashed potatoes, buttered rice, spaghetti, French Fries and others.

For $4 more you can get a bowl of Mushroom Soup. Wish they had more mushroom in the soup but the croutons were crispy even after soaking up the soup.

A satisfying and quick western meal for me.

Good choice of craft beers and their burger was on par but pasta was not that great. The carbonara sauce was underwhelming and the pasta itself tasted powdery, more like it’s made from multigrain flour rather than regular.

Will come try other items on the menu and enjoy more great beer. Just won’t be ordering pasta again.

Best cheese burger I ate this year! The bun was so aoft (they use potato buns) and the slight charring of the beef patty give a different texture to the juicy patty as you chew. The melted cheese was so savoury and creamy it accentuated the flavour of the patty. The caramelised onions were so sweet and the regular fries look like hand cut and fried to perfection.

For all burger lovers, this is the place to go for cheese burgers. Wonder how their other burgers taste like….

I’ll be back.

Been meaning to try this Western grill restaurant but never got myself to go down to Bugis. Until yesterday.

Arrived before 12pm and the place was already half packed. Staff got us a table quickly and informed us the wait could be up to 20 mins. Nice move. By the way, service throughout was polite and efficient. Kudos to their well trained staff.

We ordered sirloins and butterscotch beers (root beer floats) and while waiting we got complementary buns to nibble on.

The place is huge and I like the decor which is a mix of greenery with old style US grill house complete with a barrel at the door.

Steaks arrived, cooked medium as per our order. Tender, juicy and flavourful, it went well by itself or with the beef sauce provided. My sautéed brussel sprouts were a little cold but nonetheless crunchy to bite into. My baked potato also could have had a little
more sour cream.

Nonetheless, one of my better steak experiences this year, especially at this price point. The steaks were $23.90 each and the root beers were $9.90 for two. With today’s inflation, that a steal.

Recommended for those craving steaks and go easy on the wallet.

Ordered Australian Sirloin, medium. The slab of meat that was served was well done on one end and had bits of almost raw beef at the other. And as a first for me, my steak had the funky taste of lamb, even though I was certain it’s a piece of beef.

Service was fantastic though. And my daughters swear their pizza and pasta (Burpple One for One) were excellent. Maybe I should stick to drinks, finger food and pasta next time I come. Price wise, nothing to complain about.

Small pasta restaurant in basement of Jem. First off, this modern concept of pasta eatery lacks choice of pasta and sauce. You only get spaghetti or penne, Aglio olio or Bolognese or creamy Alfredo. The other sauces were butternut kombu, miso butter and Laksa Olio. All not your normal pasta sauces. I ordered the Aglio Olio and choose smoked duck breast as my protein.

The bowl was served with pasta still piping hot. The spaghetti was cooked just right. But overall it lacked garlic, the usual herbs and was excessively oily. Duck breast was tasted like processed meat.

Call me traditional but I think I’d better stick with proper Italian joints when I want to eat pasta.

Legit Mexican fare. Love their new layout after renovation, lots of space and very chill. The Chipotle Salsa sauce is a must add to give an extra dimension in taste to your Tacos. Soft shell or hard shell? Your preference.

Restaurant with a good view of the Bukit Timah Nature reserve. Even though it’s location within Temasek Club along Rifle Range road makes accessing difficult, it is advisable to make reservations during meal times.

The seafood aglio olio was on point but the fried Hokkien mee on Opeh leave was just eggs with noodles and prawns. Safe to say we should stick to western dishes here.

This restaurant serves Peruvian food. Great ambience and great food! The service is also impeccable. Go for the ceviche, grilled octopus and arroz con marisco.

Damage was under $300 including drinks for three pax. I think we got value for this price. Strongly recommend for date nights and even casual meal amongst friends and families.

Nice pub and bistro located in Le Quest with a good selection of craft beers. To sample, we got two paddles of 140ml samplers, ranging from Lychee Lassie, Elixir of Passion, Hazelnut Trove, Treasure Tropics and more mundane ones like Wheat Beer, English Bitter, Blonde Ale and Red Ale. Personally I liked the Lychee Lassie and Hazelnut Trove the most.

For food, we ordered their Kawa Ebi Pizza and fried chicken skin. The former is a thin crust pizza, almost biscuit like, smothered with little fried shrimps, shell on. Nice. The fried chicken skin was ultra crispy and the sambal chilli S pairs well with the chicken skin.

Friendly service in quiet part of town. Good for group get togethers and family dinners.

This western joint is located in super ulu part of Singapore, near the Benoi industrial sector, inside D’Arena Club.

On a Sunday evening at 6.30pm, we managed to get a table immediately. The place is pet friendly but seriously some pet owners need to get a handle on their excitable pets for the sake of other patrons.

We ordered their Salmon ($28) and Crab Spaghetti ($29). The salmon came plated on a bed of barley. It was pan fried just nice, with a hint of pink at the center. The barley tasted like it was boiled in mushroom broth.

The crab spaghetti was a tad sweet and not spicy enough for me. The crab meat was more a mixture of meat in chilli crab sauce. The noodles were al dente enough but overall the dish was lacking in terms of flavours. Just sweet.

Nice to get a different experience in Jurong area but a little bit expensive.
