I love my meat to still be a little red inside so I specially wanted it to be cooked medium. However, when my steak arrives, it was more to medium well.. well, it does happen most of the time isn't it? Esp when places like Aston that cater for the crowd. Though my steak was overcooked, but thankfully the flavor is still there. I love their baked potato with that chunk of melty butter. The branch at Cathay had since renovated to a much more spacious restaurant (with more tables) but the queue can still be killer.

So i was thinking on what to order and yea i eventually did order the Ribeye extra cut for about $16.90 served Medium... I did not know if it was me or something else... i actually cried because it tasted really good this time.. The Beef was very juicy... super tasty and just sooooooo juicy..... i am lost for words... I then ordered the baked potato with the pasta salad... Hmm how interesting of a concept... cheap and affordable its like a fusion between Western and American cuisine...

So will i be back for round 3? hell yea i would...

Ooh btw, now there are actually booth seats outside the restaurant so that you can actually sit down and wait instead of the longer queue,... Better than that... the restaurant is much much much much much much much much much much much bigger and i mean much much....

Never or I thought otherwise…

Beside the “valid” reason above this paragraph, I never once thought of entering the specialties shop at Cathay since it’s almost always perpetually crowded with a stretch of people waiting for their tables. Arriving at 9pm makes no difference either.

One by one our steaks arrived at our al fresco table and I have to say, I was pretty skeptical that I would get a really good slab of beef but well, I was wrong when I took my first bite of the specialities Prime Rib X’tra Cuts ($18.50). It sure caught me by surprise, savoring each small one piece at a time. The sides were pretty plain and the accompanying mushroom sauce, I have to say was negligible.

Black Pepper Steak ($13.50) was the cheaper alternative of the ribeye steak. Served rare as my friend preferred then drenched in a sea of black sauce sauce and accompanied by your typical rings and greens.

It was a good night, conversing with five others steak lovers, ordering more and more sides just to keep our bellies full. Having steaks at their specialities shops sure changed my perceptions about Astons. I have to say though, it wasn’t the best I had in a while but it was good enough to make out a meal off. Now we know where to find good and affordable steaks in town but since it’s always crowded, I won’t be visiting so often or least during the peak hours…

I always order black pepper fish, because it's tender and fresh. Along my two side would be pasta salad and mac & cheese. I swear mac & cheese is one of the best I've eating. If not for the calories I would order more but yeah, having two pasta with fish probably is the most satisfactory meal ever. Your wallet doesn't even feel much pain after eating unlike some restaurant where you can actually paid 2x more.

THis is one of my favourite western restaurant in town as not only the price is very reasonable (as no service charge is appliable here and the GST is already included in the food pricings), but the food here is definitely delicious. The fried fish here is very crispy and not too oily, which the fish meat is also soft and light. The macroni salad was abit plain and filled with olive oil taste. Cooked vegetable is equally plain as well.

The gigantic burger is a must-have as it is not only eye-catching, it is also very tasty. Their meat patty is freshly made and the meat patty is tasty and juicy and it just goes so well with their fries and their salad. The huge serving burger is also great for sharing, so that you can order more variety of burgers and get to taste different flavors of it. It is definitely a must-try for the burger-lovers.

Love their beef spahetti alot as the portion is always so generous and the taste is delicious as well. The spaghetti is quite chewy and not too dry. The minced beef is quite tender and chewy, which is full of the tomato paste used in cooking it. With added paramesan cheese will make it even more flavourful. Sometimes I am so craving for it, I even ordered two plates just for myself.

Basically, what they did was to really extend the indoors seatings more than by around 50%? I swear! I think they must have bought or rented another store next to them and linked both up. Astons is much much extended and spacious now! Though there is still queue, but it is no longer as long as the usual queue you would see in a weekend. A queue in the past can make you wait as long as 15-20 minutes, but now, worry no more!

And it's mostly below $10!!
I think it's pretty worth it to dine at astons because the portion they provide are really sufficient to stuff yourself freaking full. If you have a big appetite, you can go for the Double Up Chicken at $11.90, which gives you two pieces of chicken! Still cheap please.

Three of us ordered snapple, but here's the two different flavours we had:

Mango Madness and Pink Lemonade
$2.80 each


I think this is a little retarded here... but Mango Madness snapple basically has a very strong mango taste, while my Pink Lemonade's sour taste isn't exactly the intolerable sour, and it has this after taste which makes my mouth pretty dry. BUT! I still like it. I think I would order Kiwi Strawberry next time too, it's nice as well.

My friend ordered the IBC Root beer!

You know there IS a difference between the normal rootbeer and IBC rootbeer. If you are unaware of it, try it. To me, it does taste different! More authentic and fizzy I guess? But then again, what's considered authentic? Haha. Up to your tastebud to decide!

Lemon Lime Chicken
with Fries and Mash Potato
$7.90 (nett)


I ordered the Lemon Lime Chicken, with the two side dishes. If stated on the menu, chicken dishes usually has two complimentary side dishes for you to pair it with your main chicken, without additional charge of course! I usually ordered fries because they taste pretty good.

Their mash potato is soft and tender as well, but one bad thing is they usually give very little mushroom sauce, as you can see from the photo. So usually I will ask for additional mushroom sauce and they are more than willing to give it to you. Talk about service!

Chicken (Teriyaki) and Sausage Combo
With Marconi cheese and corn on the cob!
$12.90 (nett)


If you order this, you have a choice to choose any type of chicken from the menu for your combo. My friend ordered the Teriyaki chicken. Their sausage looks a little though, so it might not be very worth it.
But since my friend doesn't mind having these, he got it! For me, if I have a big appetite, I will go for the Double up Chicken.

Overall, Astons at the Cathay has greatly changed for a better good! They are now so spacious, clean and newly revamped! I really like their change and would definitely wish to come back again. They have now provided me a better reason to come back again!

Since they are now bigger, you can easily come with a group of friends to have a very very affordable meal together and catch up with each other, just like what I did!

Furthermore, the price of their food is extremely affordable and below average restaurant prices! What's the best is that they do not charge service charge and GST at all. With their low prices on the menu, they don't even charge all these. I only paid a total $11 for my dinner, which I though was really worthy.

We came at 7pm, and left at 9pm. Two hours spent here with all the catching up and chit-chatting, Astons is great for gatherings and chill out session with your friends as well. Sorry for repeating but since Astons is now bigger and better, you now have another choice for outings or lunch with friend!
^_^

Hope you liked my review!

ALOHA everyone!

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


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.
)
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!

BONJOUR!

I ordered this burger for my dinner and i didnt expect it would be this small, as i thought the serving would be bigger with fries or sides. In the side, there wasn't and i wasn't full after finishing this. This was a beef burger which have beef patty together with their special sauce, together with some refreshing veggies to lighten the taste of the burger. Vegetables are tomato and lettuce provided! It was less than $10.

The menu had a array of different types of meat ranging from chicken to beef and including spaghetti. Spaghetti comes with soup while meat meal comes with 2 sides which can be chosen from the menu. The side dishes aren't just some boring french fries and coleslaw. They have a variety of side dishes such as garden salad, baked potato, pasta salad etc etc. I was spoilt for choice when I had to choose the side dishes. I decided to settle for onion rings and potato salad with grilled fish with herb as my main.

The grilled fish was cooked to perfection. It was crispy at the side of the fish and the fish was fresh and succulent. Together with the herb sauce it was the best combination ever! The best thing was that the sauce wasn't very salty as oppose to the very salty sauces I had tried before. The price was quite affordable as well $8.50 for a satisfying and yummy meal.


Astons really lived up to its name, I will definitely visit Astons again after my first mouth watering experience with Astons

Both dishes main is chicken and they are nicely grilled. It is just the sauce that is different and we can choose what side dishes we want by the side of the plate. They are choices like salad, baked potato, french fries, some pasta salad. And all of them are delicious and it would perfect with the environment have some musics to go along! And the whole place is full house with people queing outside.
