Affordable lunch set
2013-09-17 92 views
I went to Jack's Place for lunch a few weeks back. As I was caught up in a jam, I left it to my wife to place my order for me. I indicated that I wanted to have steak, so she got the steak for me. I am not very sure what is the sauce that was poured over the steak but it is quite tasty. The sauce is tangy and it went well with the earthly taste of the beef.

I went to Jack's Place for lunch a few weeks back. As I was caught up in a jam, I left it to my wife to place my order for me. I indicated that I wanted to have steak, so she got the steak for me. I am not very sure what is the sauce that was poured over the steak but it is quite tasty. The sauce is tangy and it went well with the earthly taste of the beef. The beef was cooked medium well and I am quite glad that the chef cooked it well such that there is no blood when I cut into the beef but yet the beef still retains its tenderness. The dish comes with potato wedges and vegetables. I think the broccoli could have been more as there are just two florets of it. The set lunch comes with garlic bread, tea/coffee and dessert of the day so it is quite comprehensive and affordable with my set costing only $13.90++.

 Amazingly, we were guided to the same seat as our last patronage, enjoying the entire view of the restaurant for a while. Opted for its Couple Set A in its August Promotional Meal @ $49.00 for two sharing persons consisting of 2 soup of the day, spaghetti with chicken in tomato sauce, 2 desserts of the day, coffee/tea and a main course.

 Not long after we had ordered, the server came up to us again and apologized for the inconvenience mentioning we have to change to a bigger table as our set meal are rather big and not enough to place in just one table.

Greeted by the minestrone soup (soup of the day) with the crunchy garlic toasts (1 piece each). The tangy tasting thick vegetables soup were appetizing and had actually prepared our stomach for the upcoming dishes.

 Spaghetti with Chicken was tossed in a generous amount of tomato sauce. The diameter from the strings of spaghetti was not to my liking and deemed to be overcooked, looking rather fat and soggy.

 The striploin was cooked to our requested doneness, medium. Seems a little bit overcooked though. Not to disappoint as Jack's Place Specialty is its steak, these brown boring looking pieces turned out to be awesome after pouring the mushroom sauce over them.

 The usual service by Jack Place is that they will provide our lovely baked potatoes with Bacon bits, sour cream and spring onions.

 Fresh garden greens together with corn cobs were bright in colors and eye catching, being so outstanding among the "meat". Apart from these mentioned items on the main, the dory fish and chicken fillet was not photographed individually. *oops* Food preparation was quick to serve with and not greasy. To add on, service was rather quick with attentive servers. A wave of hands will result in an almost instantaneous response.

 It had finally came to our last dish, the desserts with tea and coffee. Given a few pieces of apricot on the chilled pudding, I find that the dessert is just normal.

 Total damage after 10% of Service Charge and 7% of GST sums up to S$57.67.

Notes:
(1) Set meals were available and comes with different variety daily
(2) Although it was mentioned that portion to be shared by 2, it was rather big and we cant finish them, perhaps 3 pax will be just nice.

 The place always seemed crowded when we walked past during lunch time whenever we were at Anchorpoint. Hence, decided to try it on a Friday.

Getting a seat needed patience. We had a service staff who didn't talk to us, just motioned with his hand for us to wait. That's that. Anyway, managed to get a seat and decided to get one daily set lunch and one executive set lunch. Both sets come with soup of the day, dessert and coffee/tea. The executive set lunch had 5 main course to choose from (with varying prices) while the daily set lunch allows a selection out of 2 main courses.

My friend had the ribeye steak (@16++) while I had the chicken chop set (@11.90++). The soup of the day was cream of spinach soup. The soup was alright and it fills us up pretty quickly. Next, was our main course. The waitress forgot to bring the sour cream and condiments for the baked potato and getting their attention would be challenging as they seemed shorthanded.

The steak looked good. The portion with fats tasted best. Baked potato seemed to be slightly undercooked. I liked the chicken chop though the top parts were rather dry due to being seared for a tad too long. The thigh meat was tender and juicy at its meatier parts. It came with small potatoes that tasted yummy. Would rather they throw in coleslaw, salad or broccoli or baby carrots instead of the corn and big sliced carrots combo.

Overall, service was a bit patchy but that was probably due to the large lunch crowd.

jack's place is an all time favourite if i want to have some steak. they have a wide variety of choices, form seafood to pasta or even lamb, dory, salmon, and most importantly steak! their sides are nice too, like i always order their oyster! it is fresh and really tasty. i feel that their fish category is not as good as expected. but i'm there for the steak mainly. good ambiance and good food!

Daily Set Meal

I get the daily set meal whenever I go to Jack's Place to eat as I find it more worth it. There would be 2 choices to choose from each day. It was a saturday and the meal I chose was the Sirloin Steak with Tomato Pesto Sauce and I asked for my steak be cooked medium well. The set meal included a soup of the day, a dessert of the day and coffee/tea. As I do not drink coffee or tea, I added $1.20 to change my drink to a cup of Ice Lemon Tea.

 The garlic was nice, it wasn't too hard and it was quite tasty. The soup was creamy and with the garlic, it tasted wonderful.

 When the main course came, I regretted asking for medium well. The medium well felt like a well done. I should have asked for medium. Nevertheless, it was nice. Although it was a little tough, it was tasty and it wasted too salty. With the tomato pesto sauce on top of the steak, it was wonderful. As my mum didn't like the tomato pesto sauce, she gave hers to mine and I had more, which made my meal even nicer. There were vegetables and potatoes. The potatoes were a little oily, but it was tasty. The vegetables were well cooked, but I didn't like carrots, so my dad took them.

 Lastly, the dessert. It was sponge cake with cream and chocolate, white chocolate. The cake was soft, the chocolate was sweet and the cream nice. It was a perfect dessert and a perfect ending. My meal was enjoyable.

It was a nice place to chill for the night. Had the following paired with a glass of red wine!

This is the first time I had dinner at Jack's Place, though. Previously, I had only gone in the morning.

 The escargot was presented rather nicely. However, I felt that the garlic taste could be stronger. The garlic pieces were really well done so they eventually became garlic chips. I could be wrong, but it felt like they used oil and not butter (normally) with their escargots as the aroma didn't seem that way.

There was garlic bread on the house, but it wasn't enough and it didn't seem right to eat them with the garlic chips that were on the plate.

 The lobster with cheese on top had a different taste. I really like how Jack's Place has their own house sour cream. Though it has been their way with the baked potato for years, I do wish they had the option of adding cheese to it. It would be perfect then.

Had asked for the steak to be done "medium", but I feel that maybe I should I ask for "medium rare" in the future. Is that scary?
Maybe the cooks should keep in mind that the steak is served on a hot plate and that by the time I had a few bites, it was pretty much done.

This is my first try at Jack's Place. Not knowing what is good, I ordered the Mixed grill ($19.5), which is a whopping combo of everything available in the restaurant. Well, almost everything I mean. The combo comes with sausage, lamb chop, chicken fillet, beef steak, bacon, and finally topped with an egg mad sunny side up.

It's a combination of good and bad all in one plate I guess.

 The combo also comes with a baked potato, served with sour cream, shallots, and flavoured shrimp powder kind of. It's pretty tasty, yet extremely filling!

Lunch at jack's place with my dad after school! Love the western food at jack's place. The food on the hot plate makes it warm for a period of time. Although the price can be quite expensive, depending on what you order, but it is definitely worth it. Service and environment were ok. Always enjoyed my meals over at jack's place!

Kueh Lapis Cake

Someone got us a kueh lapis cake from Jack's place at the last minute as a substitute for a birthday cake for my niece. It's CNY's period and the year of the Dragon, so not surprised to find the decorations on top of the cake had something associated with it. I tried a piece of the lapis and felt that the texture of the cake was good, soft and slightly moist but the taste was not I expected a lapis to be, it had a strong taste of essence which left behind a lingering taste effect after eating. i

Daily set lunch

We decided to have our lunch at Anchorpoint since we were already in that area. After our lunch, we can then go over to Ikea for some shopping. It was a weekday so it was quite crowded.

I had beef steak again. I wanted it medium rare but the side of the steak was slightly overcooked, the centre was okay. The beef steak came with some fats so quite delicious. The soup was average but still quite nice, got the corn flavour and you can still see some corns inside. Service wise still acceptable.
