Rock & Ash may sound like it’s from the pre-historic era where cavemen will rub 2 pieces of rock together to spark up fire for cooking. However, at this cosy-casual diner over at the Marina Square extension underpass, they have something interesting besides the usual Western cuisine. My friend and I decided to have dinner over here as we were attracted to the American cafe style of setting.Don’t you just dread the usual sub-standard, blend-tasting cream of mushroom soup as the starter?

Don’t you just dread the usual sub-standard, blend-tasting cream of mushroom soup as the starter? Their home made Potato Soup with cheese and bacon bits ($3.90) is sure to excite your taste buds. The soup has a light creamy texture and the potatoes comes in huge chunky slices. I love the bacon bits which went so well with the soup which has a light cheesy taste. It’s sure a hearty start of a meal for me.
Their signature Meatballs ($5.80) is one of the more popular dishes on the menu which never fails to sensationalize my taste buds. The juicy and succulent beef balls coated in the creamy sauce and Lingonberry jam is simply so irresistible! Having only 1 of it is never enough. I could finish all of them myself!
For main couse, I had their Dory Fish Fillet ($12.90 comes with soft drinks) which also has a generous serving. Forget about the usual tartar sauce as the fish is coated with zesty lemon curd sauce when served. Similar to the chicken, it uses the same herb marinate and is served with coleslaw and French fries. At the first thought, the lemon curd sauce maybe use to cover up the stale taste of the fish if it is not fresh. Pushing that thought aside, I had a bite into the dory fillet.
To my pleasant surprise, the dory fish fillet was pretty nice and the lemon curd sauce complements the fish well. It is slightly sour yet appetizing and not too overwhelming.On weekdays, the restaurant is very spacious and quiet. They have free Wi-Fi and power-points perfect for students to hang out and study here while tucking into their French fries with a variety of sauces to choose from. Wash it down with a cup of hot tea or coffee, making this a nice chill-out spot to catch up with friends in a cosy atmosphere over home-style food.
