Astons Express

Had lunch with Jit Leong and Adam last wednesday at this coffee shop along Farleigh Ave (near Serangoon Garden Circus). Luckily managed to find parking as there aren't that many lots available.

We were there previously for the chicken rice, which was also good (maybe will write about that the next time). During that time, we saw people having western food, but I couldn't see the stall. Thought they ordered from the another coffeeshop which was just opposite.

Then after scanning the stalls again, managed to see the signboard. There was so much clutter infront of their stall that I had missed it initially. Astons Express is not your usual coffeeshop or market western grill stall. Their quality is much better, and so is their price, which is still reasonable.



The guy (forgot to ask for his name) was also friendly. Giving recommendations and answering our queries (as they had many different cuts of steak). Finally, Jit Leong decided on the New York strip ($13.90), which was a bigger portion than the sirloin ($11.90) he originally wanted.

I wanted the New York strip but the guy recommended the Ribeye X-Cut ($14.90), which he said was more marbled. Marbled? Ok lor. Give it a try.

You get 2 side dish to go with your steak too. You can choose from baked potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw, onion rings, veggies, corn cob.

Waiting time was shorter (abt 10-15mins) than what he had informed us (20 mins). The steaks turned out really well.

Jit Leong had his medium done. Requested for coleslaw and baked potatoes. Later, he said that luckily got the baked potatoes, if not probably won't be full. Think the guy mentioned that the New York strip was 250g, compared to the sirloin which was only 180g.



Mine was done medium rare. Requested for onion rings and veggies. Both steak turned out really nicely done. With a hint of satay and black pepper seasoning. There was also some mushroom sauce to go with the steak. Would have been perfect if we had some wine to go with the steak. But since it's lunch and we had to go back to work, probably next time.




Astons Express also serves pasta (seafood, bolognaise, marina) which comes with soup of the day. And also the usual chicken, pork chops, sausages, etc. May try their other grills some other time.
