botak!
For your information the following few entries should still all be backdated ones because I haven't updated this site for a long time...

Anyway! I finally got to see what the big deal Botak Jones was about. Turns out it wasn't that great a deal. Was at the Clementi outlet like a month ago for dinner, and boy the whole coffeeshop's business practically belong to them.

I forgot to take a picture of the ordering queue which was just outside the coffeeshop, but what I can tell you is that there are people perpetually queueing for the whole hour odd I was there. It takes roughly 10 mins to get your order in.

So the food arrives in another 20 mins and abit, and our Fish & Chips, which was supposed to be their 'signature' and the Double Botak Burger, which was in essence 2 pieces of bread, some veggie and 2 huge chunks of beef patties, were up.

First up for scrutiny, the Fish & Chips. Actually not fantastic, but as far as frozen dory goes it's fresh enough, as in the flesh is still white compared to some frozen fish where it starts to grey. All in all it was just an above average dish, but I love the tartar sauce!

Probably had some pepper or something inside, I thought it tasted really good with the fries, which I liked too. $6

Next up, Double Botak Burger! With 2 150 grams of beef patties, I thought I could've conquered this without breaking a sweat, but I was wrong.

It might be due to the fact that the meat wasn't soft enough or it got cold or I was just abit picky, but I don't think it was the last reason. Somehow it was difficult to finish all the meat. It got pretty dry as the dish cooled down, which wasn't exactly piping hot when it arrived. The beef feels like eating 2 chunks out of a meat loaf, which is supposed to be almost a meal in itself. But the first half of it was satisfying, so you could probably go for the single patty version. $9.50 for burger with fries, $1 extra for cheese.
