Botak Jones
I was on a mission today - To try out "Botak Jones" and find out what's so special about their western food.
I've heard so much about this place which serves nice western food (Fish & Chips especially) and how people have to wait for nearly half an hour before their food is out, that I'm determine to try it out for myself. Plus, its outlet at Ang Mo Kio is so nearby my place (walking distance) that I probaby would get laughed at if I tell people that I haven't been there.
And so, after a short 50% fruitful assignment session with the study buddy, Kalyn, at the AMK west garden McDonald's (the next beautiful Mac in Singapore after the one at Queenstown), the both of us went down in searching for Botak Jones.
Located within a coffeeshop in a quiet neighbourhood, we found the stall with the Botak Jones signboard and which also comes with a tagline that reads "Damn Good Food At A Damn Good Price". Just proves clearly it's authentic American food with all that "damn".
I can't say much about being Damn Good Food for I haven't try it yet, but seriously not Damn Good Price when they charge $6 for a Fish & Chips, $4 for a sandwhich and $3.50 for a small piece of apple pie! It's just a little pricey for me I thought.
Anyway so we placed our orders, and I had what else but Fish & Chips, which is one of their popular items in the house (or so the menu says), while it's Italian Sausage for Kalyn.
While waiting for the food to arrive and trying to kill time away, I got curious about the identity of Botak Jones.
Eventually I tried spotting for anyone who is a "botak" and happens to be named "Jones" as well. But there was none, save for some bald ah-peks who were sitting outside the coffeeshop chit-chatting among themselves. I ruled out the possibility that it could be one of them because I was told Botak Jones is an ang-moh.
I gave up spotting and decide to turn to indulging in my Fish & Chips instead which had arrived at the same time. And boy was their serving great I thought. Two reasonable-sized pieces of fish fillet served with a big pile of salad and fries which eventually became my leftovers at the end. I must have had too much fries on the same day after a medium one at Mac earlier on, that I felt like puking them out as a pile of mashed potatoes.
As for Kalyn, she's nowhere better. Worst, she got onions. At the end of it we were totally fulled!... with fries... It's Damn Filling Food!
While the good thing about Botak Jones is that their food variety are pretty special and comes in big servings, but I personally find the taste of their food just being so-so. In fact, I'd rather go for Rasa Sayang western food stall at AMK S-11 food court (another famous stall in AMK) if I have the craving for western food.
