prime ribeye @ aston specialities

daniel had wanted to buy me dinner at clementi's botak jones at 5.00 p.m. suggested 6.30 p.m. as i normally have my dinner later rather than earlier. came to a compromise: 6.00 p.m. but, before setting off for his place, i managed to persuade him to go to east coast road to try the steak at aston specialities.

i parked my car along chapel street and walked to aston specialities which is located opposite the katong mall. when daniel saw the queue outside the shop, he commented that the food had to be good. see how easy it is to form an impression. i explained to him that customers are not let into the shop until and after they have placed their orders at the reception counter.

anyway, there were about twenty people ahead of us. however, our waiting time was about 15 to 20 minutes. we were ushered into the restaurant to begin another wait. again, we did not really have to wait very long, i think, about 10 minutes before the food came.

daniel's verdict was that he was glad that he had come all the way from clementi to try the food. he also found the prices, reasonable.

after dinner, i drove to sunset way where we had one single scoop of ice-cream each at daily scoop. i noticed that the owner, melissa, was smiling and trying to get mr lim's attention. it turned out that she was a pupil of mr lim in nan chiao primary school back in 1988. we did not get an extra scoop but we can expect better attention the next time we visit the place.
