Finally, I get to try out Aston Specialties at East Coast Road :) :) :)

Food

Most of the meals served with 2 other sides order from potato salad all the way to onion rings.

Black Pepper Fish ( with Potato Salad & Tasty rice) SGD7.20

The fish was nicely grilled with a bit of crisp on the outside and juicy in the inside. The meat was soft and sweet, so it's was definitely fresh. The black pepper sauce that comes with it was good. It has a strong peppery taste and when you eat it with the fish, it explodes it your mouth (I love the sauce!).

The potato salad uses the red-skin potato so it's definitely more tasty. But the tasty rice was off our expectations because there wasn't any taste in it (Not even butter taste!). It's as though you're eating plain rice.

Hickory BBQ Chicken (with Onion Rings & Coleslaw) SGD6.50

The chicken was nicely done and the bbq sauce wasn't that sourish (unlike some of the restaurant). Quite a nice combination because the chicken was marinated with some herbs (I guess) and when you eat it there's some other taste besides the sauce itself.

I love the Coleslaw (very much!) because it's a bit of sourish which helps to open up your appetite and the veggies are very crunchy! :) *yummY!*

Cream of Mushrooms (with toasted Garlic Bread)

Lots of mushrooms it in and the cream wasn't that thick for you to swallow down. The taste wasn't that bitter too (I have tried some really bitter cream of mushrooms >.<"). Very simple dish. The portion of the food was just nice for me. But I guess for guys, might not be that filling, so I suggest getting another side orders.

Services

The queue was super long when we reached outside (around 6.30pm). They will hand you the menu so you can have a look through and decide on what's going to be on your table for your dinner. From what I see, they doesn't go with the first come first serve basis. As long as there's table for 2, they will let you in first even though there's still queue in front of you. If you're going as a big group, I guess you might have to wait a longer time.

I waited quite long for my chicken (and it's really long because people that came later had already finished half of their food before my dinner turns up). It's either they forgot my orders or they messed it up with other tables. As part of their services, they gave me the Cream of Mushrooms (on the house!) to compensate for the waiting time.

Ambiance

A small restaurant with a high demand of customers (thus, the super long queue). It was a cosy place but a bit too squeeze-y (until you can hear what the people is talking besides your table). But I think it's good place for a dinner with your loved ones and friends at affordable rates.
