Pretty quiet when I visited during weekday night, it was good news for us because we no need spent time waiting either to be seated or to be served. Stood tall wining several awards and prizes, JP Pepperdine was proud of their food and gained reputation certainly. Service was prompt, food was ready within 15 minutes.

 First of all, do you think the Green Beans were too much? Definitely, they were a lot, perhaps I don’t really like beans. Talking about the Fish, the version at Jack’s Place was smooth interlay with a crisp skin to balance the overall texture as well as giving it an ideal munch. Using Dory as it had most suitable characteristic, white moist flesh and without fishy taste. Decent and authentic Fish and Chips, I like it just the way it presented. Cost was $15.50, normal restaurant price.

 Signature white and green checkered table cloth and menu. All branches in Jack's Place looks and feels alike.

We decided to order the Executive Set Lunch - N.Z. Ribeye Steak with Brown Sauce ($17.90) and were ordered that. As we were informing the staff that we wanted to upgrade to Lobster Bisque Soup (+$2.30), we were informed that we should order from the Administrative Professionals Week - Set Lunch Menu which would be more value-for-money as it comes with a choice of Lobster Bisque Soup or Cream of Fresh Shiitake Mushroom Soup. In addition, tempura prawns were served with the steak.

The staff was right. We were so glad that she made that recommendation! We both ordered the Grilled N.Z Ribeye Steak & Tempura Prawns. The staff kindly accommodated to our request for it to be served in the hot plate instead of a normal ceramic plate. Nothing beats eating steaks out of a sizzling hot plate! I am impress with the service! Thumbs up!

 As usual, being mushroom fantics we had to order the mushroom soup - Cream of Fresh Shiitake Mushroom Soup. A hearty bowl of soup was filled with lots of small chunks of shiitake mushrooms and mushroom flavour!

 Ever since I tried the Lobster Bisque Soup last year, I could not resist the temptation to order it again. Great soup, rich in flavour and great balance in taste. In addition, several chunks of lobster meat were in the soup. So affordable! The Lobster Bisque Soup is one of Jack's Place house specialty.

 For our main course, we both ordered the Grilled N.Z Ribeye Steak & Tempura Prawns. The staff kindly accommodated to our request to serve it in a sizzling hot plate instead of the norm which is to serve in a ceramic plate. As usual, Jack's Place never disappoint me. Their steaks were good. It may not be the best, but its way above average. Their baked potato and vegetables were good too. The tempura prawns on the other hand was forgettable.

 We always request for extra brown sauce. We both polish off the sauce off by complementing the sauce with the steak. So yummy! If only, I know how they made the brown sauce. The extra brown sauce was enough to make me satisfy me. Funny, how simple/trivia things can make a big difference.

 The Day's Dessert was Cherry Cake. It was not bad; not dry. Dense and well-flavoured cake.

For $18.90++ this meal was so value for money. In addition, I like their service. Staff are well trained, attentive and prompt. It was great that they made recommendation which was relevant to our needs wants. Great Job Jack's Place! I will be back! Nom Nom Nom..

I wonder how their other affiliated company - Eatzi Gourmet fares. Eatzi Gourmet serves similar food, the difference is that it is certified halal.

Feasting with my hubby at Jack’s Place, I ordered Mixed Grill as I cannot make up my mind what to eat. Crunchy and mellow tasting chicken sausage wrapped with a piece of crispy and savory bacon. Well cooked lamb chop was tender and toothsome (There isn’t any gamey smell from the lamb),well done beef steak was juicy and succulent. Chicken fillet was abit too tough for my liking.Sunny side up was overcooked (I wanted a runny yolk). Soft baked potato paired off with crispy bacon bits was delicious.

NZ T-bone steak
2013-06-22 25 views
I was craving for some juicy slab of beef so I headed to Jack's Place for their NZ T-bone steak. It was worth every bit of the $25.50. I ordered medium rare and it was cooked absolutely the way i wanted. the meat practically melts in your mouth. even when you cut it, it was so juicy. i liked the potato that comes with it, it was warm and soft. the staff will specially come and top it with bacon bits and sour cream.

Jack's Place specialises in serving western cuisine has been around in Singapore for a long long time; 1966 to be exact! Today, there are 14 outlets island wide. Over the years, Jack's Place has evolved to include several concept restaurants such as Eatzi Gourmet, Seafood Harvest, Brewbaker's Kitchen & Bar, Hoshigaoka and Jack's Place under the JP Pepperdine Group.

I still remember several years ago, Jack's Place Woodlands Branch used to be situated in Causeway Point. Ever since Causeway Point started its renovation, Jack's Place has shifted to Woodlands Civic Centre just across the road. If Woodlands Civic Centre rings a bell, well.. that is where the Woodlands Regional Library is.

If you are a regular, you will notice that the interior of all Jack's Place restaurants are similar. Signature white and green checkered tablecloth.

The New Zealand Feast Promotion is back again for the month of April 2012 at Jack's Place, Eatzi Gourmet and Brewbaker's Kitchen & Bar. The New Zealand main courses includes Chunky Beef Shepherds Pie (Stewed Beef Chunkys with Peppercorn & Mushroom and topped with mashed potato and Assorted Green Salad), N.Z. Silver Fern Farms Lamb Shank (Slowly braised with Shiitake Mushroom Sauce, served with mashed potato), N.Z. Silver Fern Farms Beef Carpetbag Steak (N.Z. Beef Tenderloin stuffed with N.Z. Oyster) and N.Z Sliver Fern Farms Fillet Mignon with Creamy Green Peppercorn Sauce (Served with Baked Potato & Seasonal Vegetable).

Customers can choose to top up:
a) Set Meal: $4.80 to the main course price to include Soup of the Day, Day's Dessert & Coffee / Tea
b) Big Saver Meal: $8.80 to the main course price to include a la carte Soup, choice from 3 daily Pastry / Dessert & Coffee / Tea

We ordered 2 main course (1 Set Meal, 1 Big Saver Meal) along with an Appetiser.

Wish that the garlic and butter flavour was more intense.

 The Kiwi Fruits & Prawns Topped with Feta Cheese was unique. So many different flavours to excite the taste buds. The Kiwi and Tomatoes were sweet and not sour. The cubes of Feta Cheese that helped enhanced the taste was rich and creamy. Underneath, there were lots of lettuce.

 N.Z. Silver Fern Farms Beef Carpetbag Steak (N.Z. Beef Tenderloin stuffed with N.Z. Oyster served with Baked Potato & Seasonal Vegetable) served in a sizzling hot plate. The Beef Tenderloin is the tenderest part of the beef as this part of the muscle does very little work. I ordered medium-well done for this piece of steak. It was topped with Asian Butter as seen in the close-up photo. Let it melt into the beef and savour it. It was very tender with no fats. In the middle, it was stuffed with oyster and mushrooms!

The Baked Potato did not disappoint. It was not dry or powdery, topped with sour cream, chicken bacon bits and spring onions. Yes, I did not type wrongly, it is chicken bacon bits not pork! The seasonal vegetable consist of carrots, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, corn and onion. Healthy greens with no oil!

 N.Z Sliver Fern Farms Fillet Mignon with Creamy Green Peppercorn Sauce (Served with Baked Potato & Seasonal Vegetable) was served in a sizzling hot plate too. The Fillet Mignon situated at the smaller end of the tenderloin is considered an expensive tender cut of the beef. My partner ordered well-done for her steak. Despite this, the Fillet Mignon was extremely tender and soft with no fats in it; literally melt-in-the-mouth. If you are observant, you may notice that there is something wrapped around the Fillet Mignon. Well, it is Chicken Bacon! Taste like bacon! This is the first time I heard of chicken bacon. Any one heard of this before or knows how it is made?

The green peppercorn sauce was savoury and aromatic. It was so nice that she had to ask for extra sauce! According to her, the best way to eat this is to cut the Fillet Mignon, add the green peppercorn sauce with a green peppercorn on top and enjoy! I tried this and it totally blew me away. Superb!

The Day's Dessert was the Strawberry Cake. Too much cream and too little cake.

 Looks mouth-watering?

You will be spoilt for choice when deciding on the Pastry or Dessert. After pondering for a while the partner decided to order the Oreo Cheesecake. She made the right choice! It was awesome! The cheese was very forgiving. Generous amount of Oreo cookies crumbles on the top and in the cheese. Moreover, below there was a layer of crispy Oreo crust base. What a way to end off the meal! If you know me, I am not a fan of cheesecake. Even I myself was surprised that I find Oreo Cheesecake great! Credit to the partner for ordering this.

I am glad / lucky that we had the opportunity to try the New Zealand Feast. It was an amazing meal and interesting learning experience for us. The service provided by the team was wonderful. Drinks were refilled promptly and utensils were also cleared efficiently (not only for my table, but the surrounding tables too).

Try the New Zealand Feast before it ends! You will never know what you are missing till you try it. In addition, customers will be entitled to take part in the New Zealand Grand Lucky Draw with any purchase of the New Zealand Feast Main Course. Prizes include Complimentary Roasted Beef on Wagon (worth $480) or Tickets to Universal Studios Singapore!

Thank you Evelyn (JP Pepperdine) and Felicia (Jack's Place Woodlands) for invite and having us.

I wanted to treat myself to something good so I headed to Jack's Place for dinner. I did not feel like eating too much meat so i gave their steaks a skip. I ordered their Baked Rice with Chicken and Slipper Lobster. I love the cheesiness of their baked rice. They were so generous with their cheese toppings. there was a portion of salad at the side, it was very crisp and fresh.

HOHOHO~~ MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hope everyone is having fun and enjoying their holiday with friends and family


I've a great day and well spent with my family (: We went to Jack's Place to settle our dinner at Woodlands Civic centre which was just opposite of Causeway point
Woodlands Civic Centre Jack's Place welcomed us with a great smile and each table was placed with a party hat and party gift bag to each customer
My family and I joined in the fun and wore the party hat and took many pictures of it(:

We've ordered three main dishes which are grilled boneless chicken, Jack's seafood spaghetti and Beef bolognise to share with . I feel that their service was great, when we set down on the table we are served with cold water immediately
Other than that, once I raised my hand for ordered, the waitress immediately attended to my need. It was totally perfect. The orders took about 15 minutes to arrive. Among all the three dishes, I loved grilled boneless chicken the most as it was soft and tender with the additional of their thick sauce, it was totally marvelous (: It was definetely a great christmas to dine in. Overall, my family and I enjoyed it very much. Totally THUMBS UP for their service and food.

It has been a long time since I met my classmates, so we decided to meet up and have dinner together. As we all stay near Woodlands, we decided to go down to either Causeway Point or Civic Centre to have dinner. It was dinnertime, a peak period for restaurants, so there were long queues everywhere.

It has been a long time since I met my classmates, so we decided to meet up and have dinner together. As we all stay near Woodlands, we decided to go down to either Causeway Point or Civic Centre to have dinner. It was dinnertime, a peak period for restaurants, so there were long queues everywhere. We decided to go over to Civic Centre to see if there was any places which was less crowded so we didnt have to wait very long.

Jack's Place was the only place we could find that didnt have a queue, so we went & requested for a table for 2. The prices there was considered high for western food in heartland malls, so it could be considered fine dining?


My fren ordered the prawn and chicken spaghetti ($14) while i ordered the baked rice with chicken & slipper lobster ($13.50). The food took a while to arrive so we used the time to catch-up with each other. There was also a basket of garlic bread (3slices) which was provided. I ate a slice while my fren didnt as she didnt liked garlic bread. The garlic bread was not crunchy as I tot it would be, & it was actually quite hard (i didnt really liked it).

My fren wasnt able to finish her spaghetti as she had dinner before she met me, while I loved the chicken and slipper lobster baked rice. The amount of cheese was just nice to my liking & there was plentiful of chicken in the rice.


Do try to take the MRT to Woodlands Station if possible.
The carparks for both Causeway Point & Civic Centre are alwys full during peak hours.
