Mentioning Tony Roma, I think most will probably think that they're famous for their ribs.
Arrived at Tony Roma with some expectation of decent ribs but I guess it's pretty much a let down.
Deco was pretty cosy and American themed. Pleasant first impression.
Took a glance through the menu and concluded that a slab of ribs would be too much for me to chunk down, so I decided to go easy and ordered the Ribs and fish combo ($28.90). Had 2 starchy side dishes (fries and marsh potato).

The verdict: It didnt live up well to my expectation. Ribs was marinated well but its nowhere near tender. Infact I found it rather tough.
Fish was pretty decent thou, flaky outside, moist inside. I think the price tag could have fetch a much more better deal at Billy bomber.

Pretty much average to me.

Healthy 'Semi-Buffet' Smile Nov 30, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Restaurant | Kids-Friendly

Sizzler are not just good at their steaks, infact I think they have done a better job at their salad bar range.
The salad came as a set with the main dish which I've ordered.
The meal start off with some soup from the bar. I had clam chowder which are pretty decent on it's taste. Thick and flavorful but short of sight of clams. .

Salad bar: I love their self assembled salad bar. Pretty comprehensive range for the setup, infact their salad bar is the highlight of the entire dining experience at sizzler.

Main course: Teriyaki and mustard chicken, I think it's just passable for me. Pretty light on terayaki taste. (or it's just me?)

I think this is somewhere I'd head if I'm feeling a little more 'health conscious' for the day.
Price wise, I think it's pretty reasonable for a healthier 'semi-buffet range.'

Apart from the famous bedok 85 bak chor mee, I think this stall does worth a review.
This stall have a roaring business which I've ever waited 40mins for a good bowl of porridge.
My personal favorite would be the pork porridge.Very well boiled broth as the porridge base and it's texture was smooth and silky.
The amount of mince pork are generous for the price of $3.00.
Pork was pretty fresh, marinated to the right degree before it's being boil with the porridge.

It's one of the must try stall at bedok 85.

Ah Balling! Smile Nov 30, 2010

Categories : Singaporean | Hawker Centre | Chinese Soup | Kids-Friendly

Tang Yuan or AhBalling are one of my favourite dessert to end a meal at bedok 85.
The ahballing here isnt exactly the same as what we'd buy at super market which we DIY ourself to boil in sugar syrub.

They serve pipping hot peanut soup base here.
The peanut soup base never fail to satisfy the ahballing crave.
Somehow soft yet firm and it melts in your mouth!

The ahballing skins are thin, with generous amount of filling flowing out on your first bite.
Pricing wise, $1.50 for 4 pcs. I find it quite reasonable.
4 will be just nice. Anything more than that will be too filling.

North Indian foodie! Smile Nov 30, 2010

The combination of Masala & Naan are one of my favorite indian cusine!

It's heartening to see that the food quality at Chat Masala have remained consistent throughout the years.

As usual, had the Naan, Garlic, cheese spinach, and plain - crispy yet soft, fluffy and fragrant. So good that it can even eat on it's own.
Fish Masala - Not disappointing at all.
Tandoori chicken - Great!


Overall the food here pretty good and wonderful. Pretty much attributed to the wonderful spice and ingredient used.

Service was attentive and polite throughout.
