Jack's has been around for quite a long time.
I recall that it has been around since my secondary school days.
Nowadays, the menu has been revamped to include upscale and exotic items like lobster.
However we settled for the more mundane ones as we were not adventurous enough, yet!
We started with homemade Mushroom soup with Garlic Bread.
Of course, the soup is a speciality of this restaurant and a must-have!
For drinks we got a pot of Twinings Peach Tea - full of flavour and a lingering fragrance indeed. One pot is enough for two to share.
We ordered two sides - Calamari rings and Mixed Garden salad.
The Calamari rings were great with the tartar sauce on the side. Likewise, our favourite dressing for the salad was thousand island. The salad was fresh and contains cruchy lettuce. capsicum, pineapple slices, olives and tomatoes.
I decided on something more traditional - Fried Rice with seafood.
It was ok, nothing really extra special about it, though.
Perhaps Jack's main plus is in western, and, not local foods.
The Lamb Chops did not disappoint, they were delicious and full of flavour.
The mint sauce was an added complement to the dish.
Overall the food was good and the ambience was cozy.
However, the restaurant, with its traditional decor, is looking a little old-fashioned and not as new and fashionable as a new restaurant. After all this location is quite a new one. Perhaps something could be done to spruce up the decor a little.
For the prices charged, I feel the restaurant could be made more cozy.
The staff are prompt and attentive. They are always around to assist and advise!
