HELLO! Open bowl lo!

This is my second time to Bei Sheng Seafood Resturant.
Without any creativity, we actually ordered the exact same food as it's just as good to fit the whole family of three liking.

Haha, this proves that the food is really nice for me to go back the second time!
Most importantly, it's super pocket friendly for me.
Imagine 4 dishes, including rice and drinks at average not more than $40?!
YES THAT'S HOW AWESOME.
Sambal Kang Kong

Stir Fry Black Pepper Beef

(My second favourite dish.)
Fried Lemon Chicken

(Even my dad loves the special lemon sauce!)

The portions is quite big , but just right for the big appetite family of mine! lol
Overall, we spent $38-39 in total.
5 words to describe. - (Family food, reasonably priced, yummy.)

Wooo, the photos of the food still makes me linger over the Gong pao chicken (宫保雞丁). tongue
Had my dinner at Serangoon Nex today, was searching up and down, looking for the right restaurant after my last day of Christmas shopping before Monday.

Was actually expecting to dine in another Japanese Resturant, but yeah after our shopping, the closing time were also near. So, we stroll around quickly, and got attracted by the smell when we walked pass.

For dinner, we actually ordered the Set meal for Four to cater to Three of us. But the portion is up to my expectation, and too much for us to finish actually.

The set meal costs $58.90++.
Inclusive of
-One Large Hot Pot Chicken. (Available in Spicy or non-spicy.)
-One Large Tom Yum Prawn. (Available in Spicy or less-spicy.)
-One handmade Fish or Prawn Paste.
- Jar of Soft Drink. (Pepsi.)
- Four White Rice.-The Tom Yum Prawns. (★★★★☆)
With prawns on the top layer, fries on the bottom layer and tom yum soup base.
-The Gong Bao Chicken. (★★★★★) MY PERSONAL FAVE!
With 4x4 cm size chicken breast cubes, capsicums and gong bao chicken soup base.(★★★★☆) CREATIVITY FULL MARKS.
-The Fish or Prawn paste, which I still don't know which it is.
Delicately packed in a small bag with a hole at the front.
To be squeeze into the Gong bao chicken soup and eat like maybe... fish paste noodles? Squeezing in process~The boiling fish paste noodles.As seen, the restaurant name is Chicken Hot Pot.
So all the food are served in mini hotpots! Super cute and convenient!
Also, the restaurant caters to those personal mini hot pot. (Portion quite big.) The drinks in jug.

Overall, I will certainly patronize this outlet again as I'm truly impressed with the service, food, atmosphere and price!
From topping up soups, refilling drinks for us automatically and most importantly, I don't get smelly and oily after eating the hotpots!
Hahahaha, I think best part is still the price. $69.80 (Round up $70) for the whole family to a restaurant is truly reasonably priced and pocket friendly for most families.

ALOHA everyone!

I'm going to recommend my all-time favourite western resturant - ASTON SPECIALITIES. lol

So I went to Aston the second time. And yeah, I had an delightful meal there.

Rewinding to the first time I went there was with my best girl friends.
The first reaction of me when they said " Let's go Aston" was "GOD, I'm gotta be broke when I'm out of that resturant."

But haha, I went in ,browsed through the menu.
And the price range was WOW, all pocket friendly prices!
I remember with every main course, it comes with two free side dishes.
So I ordered black pepper fish along with baked potato and mashed potato. (I love potatoes.tongue)
It only costs me like less than 10 bucks. Including a can of Pepsi at standard kopitiam pricing $1.50.
I was actually expecting the can of Pepsi to be like $3 per can. LOL
So without the service charge and gst, the whole meal costs me only $11 bucks.
Deep in my heart, I'm actually thanking god for the pocket friendly meal.

So the second time I went there, was with my sister.
We finish catching "House at the end of street" at Plaza Singapura's Golden Village movie theater.
It was quite nice, but the seats we chosed were too close to the screen and we were feeling nauseous after the movie.

Being quite sick, we were scrolling around Plaza Sing, looking for some pocket friendly food for dinner.
So after scrolling around for like 20 minutes, suddenly Aston came to my mind.
So we walked to The Cathay,which was only 5 minutes walk from Plaza Sing.
To our surprise, the queue was not very long. To be precisely, we were the first one in queue.

We were then seated in between two couples. Yes, two couples. One one the left, and one on the right.
(Actually I find it kind of squeezy.)

Ok so I'm quite a loyal fan of the Black pepper fish, so I chose the same dish again, but this time French fries and mash potato. ( French fries also made from potato. -.-)
And my sister chose the DOUBLEx2 up chicken.
Mine was like $9.80, and her's was $11+ I think.
So she got x2 chicken as stated , of different cooking methods.
She got a Teriyaki chicken and hmm... "fried chicken" along with onion rings and baked potato.
(Did you know, Aston's baked potato skin is so easily peeled off! YUMMY.)

We were served quickly in about 10 minutes of waiting time.
Then here comes the irritating climax part.
The woman on my right ,is damn "fish up."
She ordered a prime sirloin well done after we ordered.
So when we were almost finishing our meal (she's also finishing).
She complaint to the manager that the steak is too cooked.
She want it medium rare. WTF, how to uncook it huh auntie?
I was like, Miss, you chose well done, and I heard it.
(Cos I thinking down there, well done not hard meh?)
So she was left with a little piece of around 6cm meat, then she complain and requested for a plate of new one.
Ohmygosh, doesn't her boyfriend or husband feel humiliating for her?

But yeah, Aston actually served her a new plate. And apologise to her.
When we asked for bill, we actually noticed that there was no service charge nor GST.
Then I was like whispering to my sister, "wah, no service charge they still bother to care about her."

In conclusion, Aston has really good service crews. The food at Aston is also extremely pocket friendly and yummy.
Do visit http://www.astons.com.sg/ASTONS-MENUs.html for the full menu and also look out for their stores in Singapore!

They have quite a number of resturants in Singapore! Try it today! lol
BONJOUR!

Fried Chicken Set with generous amount of crumbs!

Fried Chicken Set with generous amount of crumbs!

 
Hi! This is Christina here!

This post is to specially compliment the surprisingly good serivce by Simei, East Point's Long John Silver.
Ok it starts with a very long day spending with dealing my blogshop stuffs and visiting my grandmother at Changi General Hospital with a pair of heels. (Imagine walking whole day from stations to stations tip toeing. \o/)

It's about 9.40 pm when I left the hospital after the visiting hours.
My sister and I went walking back to East Point, in hope to catch some bites.
We actually headed into a "famous fast food fried chicken resturant", but we eventually walked out of it as they had really terrible cleanliness and the resturant was so warm!
There is like still about 10 tables of customers eating, and 3 groups of customers queuing to buy their food, but I think they are closing soon due to the shopping opening hours, so they kind of switched off their air-condtioned and it's like so freaking warm even queuing up! So yeah, we left the shop walking through those wet sticky floors.

So we dragged out way back to the mrt, thinking of catching the train back home to downstairs kopitiam.
But on our way to the mrt, we smell the delicious smell of fried fish. YES, LONG JOHN SILVER!
I'm actually not a Long John Silver fan, but a "famous fast food fried chicken resturant" fan.
But by comparing the services they provide, it's like comparing the endless sky with the endless hell.

But know what? After queuing in the "fried chicken resturant", and leaving the queue after not abling to take the heatiness in it. It's already 10pm when we stand right in front of Long John silver.
AND WORST. The closing hours is 10pm.

So... I dragged my feet away. But then! A malay staff open the door, and talk to my sister.
He said: "Hi Miss! We only left with chicken!"

And I was like expecting he is opening the door to tell us, "Hi Miss, we are closed.".
It was so surprising goooodddddd!!!
I was starving after a whole long day!
And of course, two sets of chicken is enough to serve us! lol

I'm like super super uber happy!
And yeah, I received generous amount of crumbs and sizzling hot fries!
They actually bothered to fried fries for us! (OK LOL, it's a set meal.)
And guess what! Two set meals including beverages ONLY AT SGD$9!!

Best part!
When my sister stood up of her seat, the crew was cleaning the floor, and was right behind her seat.
He was so gentleman to actually bothered to help her move her chair and smile at her.
Ohmygod, gentlemen seriously extinct already ok!

Lastly, when we were leaving, I saw the super cute bell at the exit and I got reminded that I used to love to pull the bell when I'm young. But now, when I'm actually old enough to understand the words above the bell, I pull the bell again, but this time, to compliment the excellent service provided by the service crews.

Thank you Long John Silver.
You successfully brighten two persons day up.
