Aston Specialties

this is by far the BEST western food cafe i've come across! & i can swear for the cheap and fabulous food offered here...u have to agree wif me once u tried it! this is a delayed entry again...went on 24 Mar wif kangkang zehan jx colin marcus after catching "300" in cathay!

for ppl who haven't been to astons...let me do a bit of introduction..like any other western stall...they offer any common grilled meat la...as for steak...they have sirloin, ribeye and stuff...of cos there's juz normal stuff offered in their menu...u're offered to choose 2 side dishes to go wif ur main course..which includes baked, mashed potato, salad, coleslaw, fries, beans, and a few other more

now let me go into a special menu called the "celebrity beef" in this section...they offered some higher-class beef...which included beef air-flown from australia..but most importantly WAGYU BEEF!! (think KOBE BEEF if u dun understand haha) they offer wagyu grade 7 or grade 9 beef sometimes...juz not always...depends on stock la...so tt's y they are called "celebrity beef"! but man the wagyu is really cheap man! imagine a 300gm wagyu grade 9 steak from Mayura Wagyu Station @ $128.90 only! or a 300gm wagyu grade 5 from Mayura Wagyu Station @ $58.90 only!! i know some of u out there may say "are u crazy??!! u call this cheap??!!!" but com'on....if u try this kinda grade at some posh restaurant...i think u'll be willing to burn a hole in ur wallet in astons rather than somewhere else...

alrite here come the food...we din really tried many stuff of cos..three of us tried the 250gm ribeye extra cut @ $14.90 while the remaining three tried the 250gm Australian Gold Ribeye @ $29.90!

the Australian Gold Ribeye is real good...i think it beats eating at JAck's Place or anywhere else! i think its still money well spent! the meat is juicy and tender! not some hard rock-like steak u get in some cheapo stall, nor is it a small tiny portion u get in some restuarant...the serving here is generous and the meat quality is shiok! the side dishes are also better than wat u get at cheap western stall! and it refreshing to have a have a choice of ur own side dishes as well! for my steak... i give it 4!

hold on...u may ask me y i din try the wagyu steak?? well it will be too big a hole for my wallet...given wat the saf gives me...i guess i will try it after i get a job outside after i ord haha...as for the grading..the wagyu beef will enjoy a new grading system from me! cos i think wagyu is like "god-like" to me haha! all thnks to colin la...he was eating the same Australian Gold Ribeye as me...but keep complaining "hmmm..this can't be wagyu man...wagyu is so soft...so fat!!" ARGHHHH!!!! i also wan to try astons' wagyu steak!!!

if u think a steak is enough to send us out of the cafe...think again! there is another thing tt u can't miss in astons! the "ieatSuper Burger"!!! and it is SUPERB!!!

check out the ingredients!

From bottom up:
1. XL Soft Sesame Seed Bun
2. 200gm freshly chopped sirloin steak patty 2oogm, medium done
3. astons homemade Smoked Hickory BBQ sauce
4. cheese
5. grilled crispy bacon
6. fried egg
7. crispy fried onion rings
8. lettuce
9. tomatoes
10. mayonnaise

the burger is really really better than the botak jones burger man!!! the patty is much better chopped and fresher in my opinion! juicier of cos!! and i really love the idea of having the onion rings and bacon in the burger! the bacon adds a salty flavour to the burger while the onion rings juz improve the overall flavour! the crispy rings also add an extra 咬劲 to the burger! well the homemade sauce juz complement everything! well this another jumbo burger! so u can once again challenge urself to stuff everything down ur mouth!!

three of us shared one burger each...and we din really bother to cut or anything...we juz rotate to bite the burger! this sounds and look gay and unhygienic though haha....but the burger is sure delicious enough for us to 不顾形象!

the Black Peppar Chicken's @ $5.90 and the Crispy Fried Chicken @ $5.50...so no worries if u wanna bring ur friends there! the price range is very accommodating to every1 =) but bad news to any1 who wanna eat now...astons is expanding its outlet in katong and will be closed until 30 Apr! meanwhile, u can try the one in serangoon garden! its newly open branch but take note..there is no celebrity beef there though!
