Jack's Place Hearty U.S Premium Selection Menu

Whenever Jack's Place is mentioned, we would definitely think of "Steak" & "Family". Offering great service and delicious food at pocket-friendly prices and suitable for family gatherings, Jack's place is definitely the choice for locals and expats. The restaurant has recently launched its wholesome U.S Premium Selection menu.

We got to try out some of the customer favourites first before we head on to try the U.S. Premium Selection!
Ice Mango & Strawberry Cooler - $4.90
Losbter Bisque - $5.90

It was my first experience with Escargots and I must say I did not fall in love, but the texture was really unique and chewy. The creamy garlic butter was really aromatic and it helped me to brave up to put the escargot into my mouth without harping too much that it was a snail.
Escargot in Creamy Garlic Butter(12pcs) - $20.40

Featuring 6 new dishes, which includes the finest Kurobuta Pork or "black hog" Pork, USA Brandt steak cuts and Chargrilled Baby back ribs. The U.S. Premium Selection is only available at the Great World City & The Grandstand outlets!

CHARGRILLED BBQ BABY BACK RIBS - $36
Hitting you first with a crowd favourite of the night - BBQ baby back ribs with pineapple BBQ sauce. Served with lattice fries and mesclun salad drizzled with honey mustard dressing & buttered corn kernels. The tender Ribs are fork tender and the sweet yet saltish pineapple BBQ sauce made the whole dish really addictive!

USA BRANT RIBEYE CUTS - $36.80
GRILLED KUROBUTA PORK OF RACK - $32
The Grilled Kurobuta Pork of rack with onion brown sauce and strawberries compote topped with tian tomato, served with garlic mash potato & daily vegetables. Accompanied with fresh mesclun salad drizzled with honey mustard dressing. Tender Juicy piece of kurobuta pork paired well with the onion brown sauce as if 2 dancing partners made for each other.

KUROBUTA FILLET OF LOIN - $21.80
KUROBUTA PORK SCHNITZEL - $18.80
Grilled Kurobuta eye fillet of loin served with black peppery glaze accompanied with roasted onions and new potato and crisp mesclun salad drizzled with honey mustard sauce was my personal favourite, Tender & juicy on it's own, I could not explain how much I love it, the tenderness with the light flavours that are just right to fill your taste buds. The Kurobuta fillet of collar coated with "biscuits crushed & herbs" served with tartar sauce was not to my liking as it is fried and a little dry, I prefer my pork grilled.

USA BRANT STRIPLOIN STEAK - $35.80
The US Premier Cuts Brandt 365 days Grain-fed beef striploin steak served with Jack's special black pepper sauce, baked jacket potato and seasonal vegetables.

With this, I sum up the 6 New U.S. Premium Selection from Jack's Place! I highly recommend the Kurobuta fillet of loin but if you are steak-ing to steak(pun intended), I suggest the USA Brandt Ribeye Cut! Hehe, And also, Jack's Place still does the Table Side service for all your main dish that comes with a side of the baked jacket potato, how awesome is this!

I'm definitely going back to have my Kurobuta Fillet of Loin soon!

[F.T] The Royal Mail - Classic British Cuisine

The Royal Mail Restaurant & Bar is a 60-seater establishment housed within the historical and culturally-rich Ascott Raffles Place and serves modern interpretations of Classic British Cuisine where Roasts and Prime Rib take centre stage.
A vintage brass mail chute, which stands in its full glory by the lift lobby of the Ascott, is the inspiration for The Royal Mail concept which provides guests with a touch of Old World elegance from the days of letter-writing, Doris Day, Grace Chang and policemen in shorts.

Amuse-Bouche - Tender Octupus paired with Wasabi Dressing, feeling a little more Japanese here. 
My personal favourite - Pan-seared Foie Gras - $24 with Camembert cheese, wonderful combination.
 Or you could indulge in the Lightly Seared Beef Tenderloin - $20 with Various Toppings.
Another pick would be the sous vide half Maine Lobster - $24 presented in such vibrant colours, sweet!

Mains
Fresh Deboned Fish of the day - $52 for 2, I love the Garlic that came with it and the beautifully packed lemon half for you to squeeze on the fish. That fish is definitely a fresh catch!

A twist to the usual Squid Ink pasta, the Lobster Linguine with Squid Ink Foam - $28 is presented with a ball of squid ink foam which you can take a few moments to admire, and then you mix it up. Squid Ink taste not to distinctive though.

Feast on their hearty Kurobuta Pork Chop with apples - $48 if you do not prefer red meat. This huge piece of kurobuta will definitely make you wished you shared it with someone!

A 280g slab of beef is used for the Roast Prime Rib -$58, served with Yorkshire Pudding.

Intense Flavour of Sweetness from the marinade, The BBQ Beef Short Ribs - $36 tasted somehow similar to those of the Chinese Tze char Pai Gu Wang (Pork ribs), But it's better..

I got Sugar High
Banoffee Tart -$13 - Banana and Coffee Tart, did someone say banana? Enough said!
Eton Mess -$15 - Sweet Sweet meringue with strawberries, Ice cream and hazelnuts. drizzled with Carmel sauce, Oooh La La~ Give me another!
Chocolate Fondant - $18 - It basically means Chocolate Lava cake with Vanilla Ice Cream! -screams-

I enjoyed myself at The Royal Mail, The ambience is definitely delightful, I would love to visit again.



With Love, M
