As we have a new Indian colleague on board, my boss thought that it would be a good idea to have a team lunch a Komala to welcome the new girl and help her fit into the team. I decided for once, to forgo my favorite Coke and go for a typical Indian drink. So I chose lassi. This is a very sweet yoghurt drink. Different from the magnolia type but I like. I have a sweet tooth so I'll tend to fall in love with anything sweet. But I don't often take stuffs that are too sweet. However, this is the exception.For main course, I ordered the onion dosai. Didn't manage to finish the dish coz it's just too big piece. And there's a whole lot of onions in there. But it was very good value for money. Also, we find the service staff very friendly and helpful

I love pork chop and when my friends suggested Aston, my first question is whether they have good pork chops. This is only my second time visit an Aston restaurant eating the same thing. My first was at The Cathay.This dish didn't disappoint me at all. The juicy piece of meat simply keeps you coming back for more. The corn was cooked to perfection as well. It was juicy and you can actually taste the fragrance on first bite. The yummy vege were not overcook. On the whole, it was a dish worth coming back again for.

We have been visiting their Suntec branch since 2001. Managers had come and gone and now even the branch is gone. Since our favorite hang out is gone, we opted to visit their Tanglin branch (only been to their Tanglin branch about 5 times).I must confess that I'm addicted to their soup base especially the spicy one. That was probably what brought us back again and again. Find that the ingredients are very fresh too. And because it was ala-carte buffet, we can order the same thing over and over again without paying additional.The manager back in 2001 told us that to eat the steamboat, we have to mix all 4 sauces together. We remembered till now. Everytime we visit the restaurant, we will delligently remember the sauce.The meal ended with dessert. We have choices of ice cream and mixed fruits to choose from. All of us chose mixed fruits. We really couldn't stuff in anymore ice cream into our stomach and mixed fruits seems to be the healthier and lighter choice.

As for drinks, we normally go for the 8 treasure tea (cold) coz it's refillable. Only change now is that they have started charging $1 for plain water. It used to be free. Other than that, the standard still remains and we will definitely go back for more of our gatherings.

After burning in the hot sun for a few hours, we decided to start our early dinner. This was what we had a 4+pm. I had wanted to try another restaurant which I had been before, but my partner decided to go for this one because it was closest to where we were having our coconut juice.A must have in all our seafood meal is the kang kong. It was really crispy and fresh. As it was a super hot day, we decided to go some soup with 'cooling' effect. So we had the bittergaurd and egg soup. This fried chicken wings is super. Have to eat it hot though coz it's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.The last dish served up was the black pepper prawns. I have had black pepper steak, black pepper crab and black pepper almost everything else but not black pepper prawns. I find the taste a little too sweet for me but my partner loves it.

On the whole, it was good value for money. We paid only about $40 for all these plus drinks.

As we walked in, each diner will be given a card where they charge your purchases to. This is an excellent place to dine in if you want to go for Dutch. Nevermind, that they have alot of Swiss flag hanging around.The first on our list was the pork. Nothing on the plate except for some light brown sauce. You have to order their sides to make it complete. I like to eat the meat on it's own without the sauce as I felt the sauce didn't quite complement the meat. The thick juicy grilled pork is really chewy.This little bowl of vege cost me $5.50. Not worth the price but I like the mushrooms so I filled 3/4 of the mini bowl with mushrooms. Only one piece of zuchini left and I took it. They should top of the vege more often especially when they know the stock is low.Rosti is not my favorite. But apparently, it's eveyone's favorite. Don't get me wrong. They taste quite nice except that I don't really like potatoes. Except for those mushy type that melts in your mouth, I don't fancy an entire dish of potatoes. The sausage is pretty ok.Root beer is a must especially when it's my favorite brand.This is Spanish rice and this is the first time I have spanish rice. It looks really messy. I kept on eating the rice so much so that I hardly touch the ingredients they included into the rice. I like the taste and the fragrace.

On the whole, the food was good but a little pricey. For that price, I could have gone to a better restaurant. Just my thoughts.
