Astons Specialties @ Katong

After reading so much about this place on various blogs and forums on the internet, we decided to hop down and sample their food.

A view of the shop from opposite …

The long queue which was forming at 630pm….

The place’s not too big… really tiny to be precise … therefore…. go early to avoid long waits queueing
There’s a menu on the left and the monthly special Wagyu Steak!!! 200g, Grade 7/9 @ $58.90nett with 2 side dishes
Was wondering if I should blow some $ on the wagyu steak that everybody’s raving about ….

Iced Lemon Tea and orange juice!!!

Ahhh…. mushroom soup (… Fai’s nemesis ) that came with Kelly’s salmon spaghetti

Kelly’s order of Salmon spaghetti ($7.90)… she wasn’t really hungry… and believe it or not … I helped her to finish some of it… me —> salmon!

Aly’s order of Prime Ribeye steak … with her choice of onion rings and seasonal vegetables ($11.90)

Looks good ya? But Aly didn’t like it much… she had wanted it done medium … she found it tough… hmm….

Potato salad ($1.50)… this was good… we really liked the dressing …. a tad too small though … MORE!!! We want MORE!!!

and more it was for me (just the potato salad though) …
My order of Prime Tenderloin steak … done medium …. with my choice of onion rings and potato salad ($22.90)
Steak wise… er.. look at the size of it!!! I could eat 2 plates of this Sheesh …

Tasted pretty okay… NOT fantastic though … I kept thinking of the tenderloin I had at Uno Beef House (see previous posting) which was half the price, tastier and was a bigger portion…

Maybe I should’ve just ordered the Wagyu steak which came highly recommended on the internet…. but then again, with the disappointment of this, I’m skeptical, especially when the wagyu steak costs twice as much

Fai’s order of Beef Jack Burger ($5.50)
Portion was really small too … erm… where’s the beef patty?!!!

Fai…. making a face for ordering something for kids … (no …really … it’s for adults…. I hope… )
“Although small… it tastes really good though” he quipped …. ya … right…. gimme a break
Self consolation is no consolation dude
