Aone Porridge - New Menu New Experiences!

*Food Tasting*

I believe that we have all seen Aone porridge around in Food Courts in the past few years and maybe you have seen them in shopping malls in the recent year too! Aone porridge have always been famous with their porridge in a claypot because it has good airflow and good insulation which locks in moisture and nutrients. I am glad to be invited to their outlet at Kallang Wave Mall for an introduction to their new menu!

Clean and spacious layout, creating a casual atmosphere where everyone would feel comfortable eating and sharing family-style comfort food. Because I believe that we tend to find comfort in food that are most familiar to us.

Starting off with some tea, their Signature Fruit Tea and my personal favourite, Jasmine Tea. I believe the fruit tea has some Hawthon inside which makes it a little bitter sweet but very pleasing to the palate. The Jasmine Tea is just plain Jasmine Tea but very good for cleansing the palete and tummy from all the delicious food that you are about to have.

Premium Dried Scallop Porridge(pictured) & Dried Scallop Porridge with minced meat & assorted egg were two of the delicious porridge I got to try that day. My bias would be the Latter, It was more to my suited to my taste due to the use of meat and assorted eggs like Century egg and Salted egg. 

Steamed scallop with minced garlic & vermicelli - Very aromatic when it was served, we rushed though the photos because we could not wait to dig in! Fresh Scallop topped with fragrant garlic, resting on a sea of vermicelli was a tad salty but if paired with Aone's porridge, it would be just right.

Deep Fried Pumpkin and Lotus Root with creamy salted egg sauce - It came to us golden brown and my table had high expectations for it but it was oily in the mouth and the salted egg punch was not strong enough. I gave up after 1 piece.

Premium Claypot - Consisting of Abalone Mushroom, Scallop, Sliced Fish, Prawn and Fish Maw. Light taste, suitable for people who have light taste buds, fresh ingredients and very homely feel.

Assorted Vegetables in Sambal Sauce - A very localized dish where sambal is used to stir fry vegetables till fragrant, albeit slightly oily, it was really fragrant and delicious, pair with porridge for optimum taste.

Honey Chicken - Suitable for all young and old, Crispy fried chicken tossed in sweet sauce sprinkled with sesame seed, presented with cute little cucumbers around is definitely a MUST ORDER in my opinion. I ate like alot of this during the session, I love it!

Thank You Aone for the invite for this wonderful food tasting session, I have been a fan of Aone's porridge and I will continue to patronize even if they never invite me to the food tasting! hahaha!

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!
