Count-Bracula Twincharged June 9, 2015 Share June 9, 2015 Kind of old and a bit run down but the food is okay. must try the Borsch soup . . very yummy. They are known for their oxtail stew too which they only have every Wed and Sat (if I remember correctly). The escorgot not bad not bad. Please make reservation a day before, it is always full house.

Lurpsexx 6th Gear June 9, 2015 Share June 9, 2015 Speaking of steak and old school, anyone remember a small steak place at Specialist Shopping Centre? Don't remember the name anymore, has it moved somewhere ? --edit-- Did a search and this might be the one http://www.fosters-restaurant.com/history.html. Old school. Haven't tried them since Specialist Shopping Centre was demolished. Think fosters moved to Holland Village.. the extreme corner one.. I wonder how's the service now ... I heard the old ppl there are not so polite ... but will the newer staffs be better ? their newer/ younger staff will still be above 50 one bro.. The old ones more grumpy i think.. the "younger" ones not so much better too.. haha... the cutlery also very old liao.. the decor dark dark one.. macham like 80s coffee house lidat.. haha... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
