Jack's Place was one of the crowded restaurants on Hari Raya's restaurant and out of curiosity we walked up to its entrance and queried the server who was standing by the side of "Please wait to be seated" counter. We had learnt that the daily promotional meal of Jack Place is still valid on a public Holiday and decided we should have Jack's Place for lunch.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 Coup
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.
Here's da boom to the our lunch! Ta-da, looking great isnt it?
The half shell scallops comes in four and tastes alright.
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.
