After dinner at Aston Specialists, we went to Ji De Chi at Liang Seah for desserts. It was full when we got there, so we waited a while before getting our seats. Cheapest dessert range from $2 to the more expensive ones at $4. Don’t belittle the small bowl of dessert, it makes big money selling them. Sesame paste, Orginal Herbal Jelly, Walnut past, Mango grape fruit ice from top to clockwise.

People always thought that the best meals are having good food accompanied with good wines. But i came to realise its not just that, the most important ingredient for the perfect meal is simply having good company. Food in the company of good friends can be good food, regardless how cheap or expensive it is.

Visit to Aston with my good friends, wee hong, hong yi, sherman. Food turns out to be good (and cheap). Reach Aston at 730pm, and it has a long Q already, did not make prior reservations as they do not take any. Waiting time for us was about 35mins to get to the counter to make our order, the food came shortly after that. The main problem i noticed about Aston is that they only have one counter for diners to make the orders, so for those in large groups, they usually take quite a long time in deciding and making the orders, when we went in, there was plenty of seats available and they were able to serve the food fast, thus i feel that they should increase the number of counters to speed up the waiting process.

The main course have a wide variety of selections, for chicken there is chargill, black pepper, cripsy fried, hickory bbq, teriyaki, lemon lime,  double up, chicken & sausage combo. Most are price at $5.90, with double up chicken at $9.90 and chicken & sausage combo at $10.90. For steaks there are prime sirloin, black pepper steak, prime ribeye, prime tenderloin, and pork chops, ribs, lamp loin chops. There are also fish dishes, and pasta.

Every main course comes with 2 sides, which includes hot sides; baked potato, french fries, seasonal veggie, onion ring, bbq beans, tasty rice, corn on the cob, mashed potato, and cold sides; potato salad, coleslaw, pasta salad, house salad.

Introducing.. the New Cripsy Thin Pizza Delight Meal!

$25 for 2-3 pax, choice of 2 soups of the day or salads, 1 regular Cripsy Thin Pizza with choice of 7 toppings selection), choice of 2 beverages (iced lemon tea or peach tea/soft drink)

Tay and me tried the Cripsy thin pizza from Pizza Hut because we haven had it before, obviously we had hawailian, and notice one slice of pizza is not there? Cos i forgot to take the picture when it came, and that slice end up in Tay stomach alr. lol

Hmm.. hawailian pizza is my fav, toppings of ham, pineapple, cheese makes it good anyday. But the problem with cripsy thin pizza is its really thin, and the price is the same as the normal pizzas from Pizza Hut. Since the ingredient for making the cripsy thin pizza (so much thinner) is less, how come the price is the same? Anyway, its not really as filling as the normal pizza. But i think Pizza Hut came up with cripsy thin pizza because Canadian Pizza does thin pizza (according to tay, don’t quote me!)

Spicy Drumlets! Always the must-have when you visit pizza hut, we add-on for this @ $2.80

The greens that accompanied the Pizza

All in all, although Pizza Hut Cripsy thin pizza are a new experience, it is unlikely i will try them again, prefer the thick crust pizza! But after eating at more expensive places, i come to find pizza hut is rather cheap, so i will most likely go back often for pizzas. Cheers! Service-wise, they could be faster, have to stand up to catch the waiter attention to order and for the bill. Total bill adds up to $32 for two person.

The famous Ah Koong fishball in Johor, Malaysia. I believed many people from Singapore knows about this store as i always see Singaporeans there, and no doubt their recent debut branch at VivoCity has raised their profile in Singapore. Well, i started eating at Ah Koong a few years back, and since then whenever i go to Johor, it has become one of the must-eat for me. Not a lover of fishballs (i prefer Won-ton mee), but when it comes to Ah Koong fishball noodles, i like! Anyway, for simplicity sake, i will be putting all the dishes in Ringgit (RM), just divided the sum by 2.2 to convert to Sin dollars.

No Signboard Restaurant, chinese name is Wu Zhao Pai. I used to though it was Pepper-Brand (hu jiao pai) because my mom always pronouce it that way. Haha. Well well, when u think of No Signboard Restaurant (NSB), this is only one thing that straight away comes to your mind. Crabs! Naturally, their restaurant logo already told you that, the logo is a big crab.

Frequent No Signboard many times already, always go there for the crabs. My family prefer the white pepper crab over chilli, although sometimes we will have a combination, half pepper half chilli. What to say? Crabs are their speciality, not much place are their half in doing crabs. Although i am not a crab-lover, but their crab won me over.

Anyway, this is the first time to the Geylang branch, told the taxi driver and he did not know the place. Gosh, can you believe that? I mean its not like NSB is a normal restaurant, in fact its quite renown for their crabs in Singapore. So he took us one whole round before we found the place. Geylang branch is not air-con, by the roads of red-district (you-know-what), yet we went today on tue, its fully crowded. By 7pm every table is full, so prior reservations are recommended

Sun with Moon is a pretty cool name for a restaurant, Sun with Moon @ Central is the second outlet, with its sister outlet @ Wheelock place, and Japanese Dining Sun. The name of the restaurant may implies that they offers everything under the Sun - and the Moon. Indulge in the pleasure of superb Japanese dining as the welcome breeze greets you at Sun with Moon @ Central. Charming at day and stunning at night, the outlet at Central located on the ground floor facing the Singapore river, offers diner a full view of the river with its clear glass walls and mirrors.

The set lunch menu is acknowledged to be value for money considering the fact that the same items for set lunch are cheaper than dinner (no set dinner menu). The food at the restaurant is not expensive, with $12 (cheapest) for a set lunch, but the serving is not really big, so for big-eaters a set lunch may not suffice. Nevertheless, like its sister restaurant, Sun with Moon @ Wheelock, the menu at Sun with Moon @ Central features a selection of both traditional and modern Japanese dishes, and stays true to their philosophy of using only the finest ingredients for their culinary creations.

Went for lunch on fine sunday afternoon for cousins gathering. The set lunch menu starts from 12 noon and end at 230pm, from 230pm to 630pm, they offer the cafe menu which has considerately less main course, and mostly are desserts, cocktails, mocktails, flavoured beers, fine wines and premium sake.
