Okay! Today is a wonderful day, it has been overcast AND the sky is filled with so much soot ash it is topping PSI charts anytime, what perfect conditions for a day out! Then it rained & I could see the difference between Bus 229 & Bus 225 from a distance, but they sky is still threatening to fall anytime again soon. We took a short ride on Bus 38 from Bedok Interchange, & if you've been in on the latest food craze, you would have known we are headed for a certain Block 18 @ Bedok South Road. Located just across TJC (you lucky students!), this stall grills food that i can smell even in the West. There are two coffee shops located under the same block (just like our Botak Jones encounter @ Clementi; there were 2 coffee shops under one block), & you have to walk further in to the one that's beside the park & the playground. Singaporeans are eating out so much that having 2 coffeeshops under the same roof, & with a whole Food Centre of about 40 stalls just opposite, doesn't seem to be a surprising fact anymore. I would be thinking how they can make profits with such close competition, but this tiny stall just proved my point wrong, as they could attract even a Western-er like me to take the train 21 stops across Singapore to try their specialties. I wonder how big this niche market of "makan connoisseurs" has grown to. People with a car & a lazy weekend, who drive around to taste the best & the latest around the island every week.
E.Blackboard, you can't miss its signage as it is in black. Run by two guys, they have a nice menu of Cajun Chicken, Fish & Chips, Ribeye Steak, & other new items such as Grilled Fish & other stuff. Their NZ Ribeye Steak comes in 300gm & 200gm. Cooking time seems just a bit too long as I finished more than half a glass of my barley drink, but it is to be expected because of the steak. Was it good, for the price & setting of a coffeeshop. Finally we see the very real sign of the rise in our quality of living; we are eating nice thick steak in coffeeshops. Wow.
Tasty 200gm NZ Ribeye Steak.
Tasty Fish & Chips.
The steak sauce had mushroom & tomato cubes in it. It was tasty & delicious. The meat (mine was medium rare) was soft & juicy. The fish & chips tasted really good too, but a bit too good. The fish topped with tartar sauce tasted too sweet to my liking, although it was really delicious on 1st bite. It could have been due to the swap in flavour; I was eating the steak halfway before I exchanged for the Fish & Chips Lips was eating.
If one look wasn't tempting enough:
Look at the sauce & the texture, yummy yummy.
