This outlet at city square mall is quite small, so we dispatched an earlier group of people to "guarantee" the seats for our group of 14 pax. They were in the queue by 11.30 am as reservations are not taken here. Due to the constraints of the seating spaces available, we were split into two tables but placed next to each other, so that's fine for us. By 12 noon, there's already quite a long queue outside.Most of us have dined at Astons before (there's many outlets now spread throughout Singapore
Most of us have dined at Astons before (there's many outlets now spread throughout Singapore) so we came to a decision on our choices pretty quickly.
For me, I was unfortunately nursing a sore throat and had to avoid ordering too much fried stuff. Hence my choice of the grilled fish. Potato salad has always been one of my favorite sides, thus it's not to be missed today as well hehe. The potato salad was as good as expected. The grilled dory fish was ok, liberally showered with herbs. The sauce that came with it tasted like a slightly concentrated campbell's mushroom soup but it went rather well with the fish. Well, at least it seemed healthier than mayonnaise as an accompaniment to the fish I loved the macaroni & cheese, for a generous amount of the tasty cheese sauce was given. All-in-all, a very satisfactory meal!
- Grilled Fish with Herb with macaroni & cheese, potato salad ($9.50)My hubby ordered the chicken & sausage combo. For the chicken, we chose the hickory bbq. At first, he thought it was breast meat when he cut through the chicken due to its appearance. However, it is thigh meat, just that certain parts of the chicken was slightly drier. Other diners' chicken chops appeared juicier. Oh well, perhaps it's just this particular piece. Generally, the chicken was still well-grilled with a bbq taste and tasty. The sausages fared much better. They were very succulent and brushed with a hint of a tasty bbq-sauce on the skin. Good! As for the pasta salad, it was a bit on the bland side, with some olive oil and herbs. Wedges were nice & crispy - cannot really go wrong with that.
- Chicken & Sausage with pasta salad, potato wedges ($13.50)Service was a little slow at first when we requested for top-ups of the iced water ordered (30 cents per cup) but it picked up after that. Subsequent service was prompt and friendly.
We were seated close to the main entrance of city square mall, so there were some wafts of outside air passing through. So, try to get a seat further in if you can.
