Astons Express @ NUS

Today's really scorching hot weather left me feeling so sleepy that after our city lunch at Balestier, Ric drop me home for my nap before waking me up at 1830hrs for a dinner together.

So sweet of him. He doesn't mind the extra traveling just so that he could spend the Saturday evening with me :))

However, we had a rather long search for this new Astons Steak dining outlet at Prince George Park, finally locating it in PGPR; in the vicinity of National University of Singapore.

There's food of so much nationalities at the PGPR, of China's, Vietnam's, India's, Taiwan's and of course, the locals. I was tempted to try these... hehe, but maybe other time.

I enjoyed my order of CharGrilled Chicken (5.30) while Ric struggled with his thick New York Strip (13.70). Mine came with a nice aroma of BBQ grill but his NYS was full of tendons that makes bite real challenging.

This being my first try of Astons, i'm rather impressed at their extra efforts that have been put into the preparation of the variety of sides. Their side option of baked potato tastes great even to a non-potato eater like me! But the corn cob was soaking greasy.

In summary, in their earnest efforts to please, they have gone a tad too much on seasoning, overall taste was on the heavier side. Adopting a lighter hand on seasoning used, together with mastery of steak cooking technique would make Astons a winner.
