1st Visit to the Botak Jones @ Toa Payoh


http://www.botakjones.com/
This week has been a foodie week for me ya? Cakes, botak jones, corduroy and not forgetting Ba Zhang aka dumplings. Phew!
After seeing so much of Botak Jones in our tiny island here. Serving restaurant food at kopitiam prices. And angmoh selling it. Hubby and I went in search for it. actually it was much initiatied by him. hee...
We went to Toa Payoh North last night for our late dinner. cos ate lotsa dumpling in the afternoon. When we reached there, we felt it looked cool! At one end, there's a bar selling beers and what-nots. To the left, there's a pool table and diners playing. It was windy and the food center was very spacious.
Went there wanting to order their Cajun chicken and Fish & Chips. So disappointed that there F&C were sold out. So we just ordered the chicken and a side order of bbq chicken wings.
No angmoh serving us. but I think the gal was a eurasian. haha... at least a half angmoh. I bet the real Jones is too busy with the expansion to be at the helm of the action. gosh! they have it at alot of places now. depot rd, clementi, pioneer sector. It's those pretty ulu ulu places. so if you are driving there, do the navigation first. =)
The Cajun chicken is juicy and tender! And the meat is really thick! It's really like one of those restaurant types where you need a sharp knife to slice it. Allan love their coleslaw cos there's absolutely NO oNions in it. The fries were so-so. I like these thick fries but didn't really taste anything special with that "red" powder that they sprinkle on it.
Too busy eating to take pics of the bbq chicken wings. Out of 3 that we ordered, 1 was "charred" or overcooked. Hubby had to peel off the blackened skin. But the other 2 were delicious, in my opinions.
SO! We are going to try their Fish and Chips soon!
Overall, I feel that it's worth the price!
Stay tuned for my F&C post. Till then.....
Me waiting happily for my food.

This is the tomato, chilli and mustard sauce in which the staff will place on your table after we have placed our orders.

Finally. Tada! The Cajun chicken. There's the melted cheese and Cajun sauce on top of the grilled chicken. The chicken is really big in real life. haha...
