I'm back from an amazing trip with the FLC people. Today, we only had 5 people at the FLC meeting... in Aston, a high-class restuarant that specializes in western food. Adieu, Parkway Parade for the FLC members have decided to venture in to foreign grounds to experience new food sensations!
Just abit of background information, Aston is located opposite Katong Mall, which is near park way anyway =P. This place was recommended to us by our very own club member Han Cong. I did have doubts about the place at first but all these doubts were cast away after a sampling of the food. I'll elaborate on the heavenly taste later. Of course, we had to wait just to enter such a classy restuarant. While waiting, we looked at the menu outside the restuarant and wow there sure was alot to choose from. The price ranged from about $5.90 for chicken to about $15 for beef steak. For those with an expensive taste, there is the $89.90 wagyu beef steak - mmm, wagyu beef =O - yes, $89.90, not $8.90.
Finally after about five minutes of waiting we got our table, and the interesting thing is that we placed our orders before being shown to our table. The place was oozing of class and the ambience created was perfect for fine dining =). After taking a few photos ( which will be in the FLC photo album), the food finally came. Mine came last, and alot of effort was obviously put in for the president of the club =P just kidding. Si Cheng picked two very ordinary side dishes ( french fries and baked beans -.-) which made his order look like something he smuggled from a foodcourt.
In my opinion, the food there was superb and definitely worth the money. The generous servings were huge and the food tasted great! Even the french fries were seasoned with special spices that made it unique and appetizing, which leaves alot to be said about the regular fries sprinkled with merely salt. Ask any of our members about the quality of the food and I seriously doubt any of them will have anything negative to say about it. My only gripe about that place is that the drinks seemed a little ordinary and abit costly. A very good example is that you have to PAY for plain water... and it costs 30 cents T_T. It's a good thing our members demostrated some intelligence by not ordering plain water =D ( Guess who I'm referring to - Hint: He's a sloth)
Lastly, I conclude that today was a very fruitful trip as we managed to find a new place which serves great food at an affordable price. Credit goes to Han Cong. All the other members that joined us can take credit for just eating the food =). We're planning to head there again at the end of the month and I hope that more members can join us this time or you guys will be missing out on great food. We went to Parkway's MPH to browse DVDs... for about an hour haha. It was the perfect way to waste some time (but not money). Haha I better stop writing or this might be too long a post to read. See you guys at the next meeting!
P.S Be sure to check the photo album for the pictures. =D i uploaded some of the older ones as well.
