My friend wanted to introduce this restaurant to me because she thinks it's the best chill-out place ever--and YAP!--she was right. After work that day, I took the MTR to Jordan and then after getting lost fo 20 minutes just wandering around the narrow alleys and darken streets, I finally found the restaurant. The restaurant pretty much looks like any typical local bars with bright flashy beer lights completed with the stereotypical brown wooden finish. I didn't know what to expect, but after wa
The restaurant pretty much looks like any typical local bars with bright flashy beer lights completed with the stereotypical brown wooden finish. I didn't know what to expect, but after walking into the restaurant, the aromas of barbeque food just hit me in the face and I knew then, that I was famished and wanted to order everything on their menu.
We were seated upstairs next to the long row of open windows and here's where the best part of the restaurant comes in--you can have a ciggy (if you're a smoker), order a pint (everyone can use a cold beer), and order as much barbeque as you want because the food wasn't pricy at all. Super fantastic place to hang out with your buds.
My friend already ordered the String Beans and it smelled delicious. It was spiked with garlic and a rich fragrant sauce, PLUS grilled to the perfect crunchiness. YUM
I ordered the Long Island Ice Tea and it was a nice refreshing drink. A tad too sweet for me, but the presentation was nice and I had fun playing with the cute pink stirer.
The Barbeque Pork Neck was the best dish out of everything! They're tender and juicy on the inside, and heavily marinated on the outside giving it a lot of flavours. When dipped into the restaurat's special Thai chilli sauce, it was the most glorious appetizer to go with a nice cold beer.
The Fried Tofu wasn't bad. It was very crispy on the outside, and most importantly, it was freshly fried so the insides were super HOT! Although it's a bit over fried (slightly dry) but it was a very captivating snack where you just want to keep puting piece after piece into your mouth.
We ended the dinner with the grilled eggplant and it tasted really nice. Lots of flavours accompanied by fresh spring green onions and garlic (beware of stinky breath) which makes it another good dish to go with a nice cold beer.Overall, we ordered a lot of snacks and small barbeque dishes and the bill came out to be around $400 (including 2 Long Islands) which I thought was pretty decent. The service was alright and we didn't have to wait for a table. The snack food and the environment really promotes a more down-to-earth feel to this whole dining experience and I will definitely come back for a revisit.
