Astons Express

We ventured to the neighbourhood this time. Its Serangoon Gardens! Yep the place where the famous hawker food centre is affectionately known as "Chomp Chomp". But no, we did not go to Chomp Chomp. Instead we detoured and visited one of the coffee shops round the corner of Farleigh Avenue, just diagonally opposite the Serangoon Maju Mall.

We walked along the row of shops and found this "New Huak Hin Coffeeshop". Surveying the stalls, we found this Grill place called "Astons Express" where all the staff at the stall don the same look - an Astons T-shirt with a khaki apron and cap. The grill looks good and they boast of serving Wagyu tender beef grill, tender chicken grill and many other choices at pretty competitive prices!

I was attracted and went for the "Chargrill Chicken". The complete grill set costing S$5.90 also allows for 2 side dishes to be served from a choice of items like; baked potatoes, baked beans, corn, mashed potato, vegetable salad, seasonal vegetables... among others. My choice for the day was the mashed potato and seasonal vegetables which was reasonably good!

See what a great meal I got above. The chicken was very tender and soft. Grilled well but still does not feel hard. It was served with mushroom sauce and the chicken was sprinkled with lots of black pepper. Nice! The mashed potatoes were soft and quite comparable to that served at the Punggol Park Bliss Restaurant (See earlier post on "Bliss Restaurant"). For a grill set of this price and NO GST, I would say what more can I ask?? Quick go and try it.
