Located at the basement of Anchorvale Community Centre, Brewbaker's Kitchen & Bar will be the choice if you are looking for a quiet and serene environment to dine in or for gathering. It might seem a bit out of the way but it is actually quite accessible. You may choose to take the LRT (to Farmway Station ) or a taxi ( just about 5 mins ride) from SengKang MRT Station. New signboard spotted! This is not the first time that I patronized this restaurant. In fact, I was here quite a number of times when they are still serving the old menu (about the same as those offered in Jack's Place. Well , they are both from JP Pepperdine Group anyway). Now, Brewbaker's had revamped their menu which offers Japanese Western Fusion cuisine. I would suggest to sit at the alfresco area as the restaurant is just situated next to the Punggol River which you will enjoy cool breeze and the view of the river which my wife and I did. Lobster Soup ($5.80++) One of the creamiest soups that I had and with flakes of lobster flesh, the soup had a very strong "prawny" taste and the garlic bread that came with it really supplement the soup well! BBQ N.Z Beef Ribs ($21.00++) Served with salad and potato wedges, this huge meaty beef ribs is really a must try for meat lovers. Marinated with BBQ sauce and grilled to perfection, the meat was still very tender & juicy despite of the charred surface. It also has a sweet aftertaste which i supposed it was due to the BBQ sauce. The portion was quite huge and I would recommend 2 persons to share if you are not a big eater like I am.Carbonara Udon ($12.60++) This is kind of an east meet west fusion dish. Instead of using the normal pasta, it was cooked with Japanese udon which was much thicker and spongy ( which adds on to the texture), together with bits of bacon, strips of crab sticks and a sunny side up. The carbonara sauce was rich and creamy but not too overwhelming. If you like it spicy, i would suggest that you add the Japanese Chilli pepper and it tasted really good!

Overall, the food was good and service from the service crew was prompt. However, what I enjoyed most was the serene atmosphere away from the bustling city that greatly enhanced my dining experience!

Was craving for something to warm my stomach on a cold rainy day, 1st time that came into my mind was a bowl of warm hearty soup. Since i am working in orchard, decided to make my way down to Soup spoon located at the basement of ION Beef Goulash - My all time favourite. A bowl of warm thick soup which was filled with diced potatoes, carrots, celery and capsicum. Caesar chicken mushroom wrap - Quite bland, but not too bad. It was filled with some diced chicken and vegetables.

This is my 2nd time having Astons. It was a few years back when i 1st tried Astons at the stall located in a kopitiam in Hougang. Experience was not that good though. However, my wife managed to convince me to give it a try again. Comes with two generous servings of sides dishes, Macaroni with cheese and mashed potatoes. The cheese was very thick, reminds me of the cheese that normally comes with nachos. The rib eye was nicely grilled and tendered. It was quite juicy too!
Slightly charred, the fish was quite fresh and the sauce that comes with it had a mild herbal taste which goes nicely with the fish.

Overall, it was a good and affordable meal (spent less than $30 for 2) & it does change my opinion on Astons.

Located at the newly renovated Balestier Food Centre, King's Roasts is the new joint for those who loves roasted meat. Deep Fried Tofu - Crispy on the outside and silky on the inside, with the sauce that was sweet & spicy. Roasted Pork - Not fatty & greasy, instead, it was juicy and tender. Char Siew - The Char Siew was tender, juicy. The sauce reminds me of Bak Kwa. Very different from the usual char siew you normally get in other places

Overall, I would recommend this place for all roasted meat lovers to give it a try!

Fried Oyster Omelet - No doubt one of the best i had so far. It was crispy and have a very eggy flavor. There was a generous servings of oysters which are really fresh and add in some sweetness to the dish Deep Fried Breaded Oyster - Deep Fried Fresh oyster coated with flour. Although it was deep fried, it was still very juicy because of the fresh oyster and it really goes well with the sweet chilli sauce.
