Seems like this cafe cartel ribs is drawing really opposite responses, perhaps it all boils down to who is the cook that day. [rolleyes]

 

It would be fun if more people of this forum is to eat there and post your opinion here. It is cheap and provide a good dinner outing with your date.

 

This is really another case of one person's meat is another person' s poison. [:p]

If not all the men will zoom in on only one zhar bor then all hell break loose. [lipsrsealed]

 

Diff folks diff strokes. [flowerface]

I totally agree! Usually the stds between Plaza Sing branch and e Serangoon Gardens branch one is like heaven and earth...

 

A good example of franchisee gone wrong?

BTW, how's the pasta at Pizza Hut? I had being seeing advertisement about their Taste & Tell challenge. Price starts fr $5.90 which is quite competitive

 

Also the V8 cafe @ bugis junction? Price looks rather affordable

Given up on Pizza Hut pizza for many many years.

 

I think one value for money pizza is Spizza. Like their parma ham pizza topped with rocket salad.

 

Modesto has some good pizza choices too and last month, I paid for 1 pizza and got 2. They had promotion. Woohoo!

 

Edit: Read too fast and read wrongly. For pasta, never try Pizza Hut pasta before. There are many other places which serve pretty ok pasta. Bro Porker recommended the Forkxxxx at Fraser Suite. I went to their Dempsey branch. Good pasta but damn expensive. When I save up enough, I'll go again.

for those who are into pizzas I would recommend Sarpinos, think they still have the 1 for 1 for certain pizzas. Pizza is not too thick and the amount of toppings on top is just nice. their lasagne and wings are nice too, convenient for small house gatherings.

Prego is nice but too ex to eat too often, and that place got ERP everywhere.

 

so when I feel like my carbonara I'll usually got to Pasta al Fresca or Spagheddies. Coffee at these places are alright too.

 

tried the carbonara at Pizza Hut last week, wah piang, think less than 8 pieces of bacon, after my kid eat a few pieces all I had left was spaghetti ... machiam very expensive mee pok tah ...

i dunno how pizza hut makes their pasta but i assumed places like these normally use canned pasta sauce.

 

i know they use campbell soups last time coz my sis used to worked there as a part timer.

 

i worked at ponderosa in my teens and their soups were home-made, not using concentrated cream soup.

For soup gotta try the soup spoon.

similar in a can from campbell cost $3ish

b1g1 free lah. where got such good deal buy1g2 free.

 

pasta mania standard drop liao since they went halal. i only take pasta with white wine sauce and they have changed it to their house sauce which is not good.

 

my measurement of good pasta place is vongole spaghetti in white wine sauce.

 

that forkxxxx place is even more expensive than prego. :wacko:

Back to Botak Jones vs Aston. I find their food quality to be almost on par....but Botak Jones' service is way better...almost always with a smile and didn't looks like they are stressed or in a hurry.

 

I usually go to the Aston (specialties and prime) at Katong/Joo Ciat and Botak Jones at Depot Rd.
