Astons Prime @ Joo Chiat

I've tried Astons Specialties several times and found it not too bad, especially in terms of value-for-money, but Astons Prime is a whole new league altogether. I think Astons Prime serves the best steaks in Singapore, and I thoroughly enjoyed their Porterhouse Steak (500g of beef @ around $45). This has got to be the most delicious steak I've ever tasted!

Prices here are significantly higher than Astons Specialties. But that's because you pay for the ambience, the service, and of course the higher quality and standard of food served. Something interesting about Astons Prime - you MUST be patient. Each steak takes about 45 min to prepare so by the time your food arrives, you will either be complaining of 'poor service', gastric pain or hunger, or you will be singing praises about the pleasant service staff, the juicy tender beef... that it was all worth the wait. I had no complaints because I had good company, and we ordered some starters (like the wild mushroom soup @ $5.00 and complimentary bread) to keep our mouths busy for a while.

Nothing here (or anywhere else for that matter) beats the Porterhouse Steak. Especially the guys... if you are a meat lover, feeling extremely hungry, and don't mind spending a bit more $$$, don't hesitate to feast on Astons Porterhouse Steak. You won't regret it!

Overall, I give this restaurant 8 stars out of 10, and 9 stars for the Porterhouse Steak! I will definitely come back here again, but not too often or I'll burn a hole in my pocket!
