Aston Specialities

I just had a wonderful dinner at Aston Specialities a couple of hours ago. It was truly good....

There are some things that only good friends know about me. I am really very into beef. I love anything beef. Stir-fried beef, steamboat beef, roast beef, grilled... basically, I really do like eating beef. But I don't eat steak often only because I really hate it when people just kill the entire beef by anyhow cooking it. So will only eat it when I am craving for it.....

The best steak I had ever had in this world was in Japan. This swenson-lookalike-chain called Danny's in Hamamatsu, Japan. That was when I was 14. I ordered this tenderloin cooked till medium-rare. That was TRULY heavenly. Nothing in SG I had ever eaten came close to that at all. Honestly, nothing....I tried beef in Aussie, NZ, US, Paris. They were mostly rubbish as well...

And so I heard PQ and Mark gushing about Aston Specialities that day. THey got me curious. I tried dragging my parents there yesterday. They didn't want to queue. Met QZ and company there. They queued and he told me that they have Wagyu Beef and dasao was totally blown over by the taste. Because of that sms, I totally had the craving for some good steak.... and so I persuaded Serene to change our dinner venue to Aston tonight.

wahaha... even though she's as usual late...... I was too excited to be angry with her....

The Wagyu Beef was a Grade 6 one.. FANTASTIC!!!! THey served it "nude" ie without the sauce which was really good!!!! hahahaha... it was quite close to what I had in Japan before but it missed a little because the marinated taste wasn't consistent. I had a few mouthfuls that were a bit on the salty side....it could have been better if it was a little more burnt on the outside. That would have been PERFECT. hahaha....

but seriously, for anyone who loves beef as much as I do, you should really go down to Aston and try the steak. It's good.. the portion is just right as well...oh. I had it medium-rare. I would just go for rare next time. hahaha... don't ever kill the beef like Serene did by ordering medium siah.... she's totally wasting her money... ahahahah

seriously, I am all ready to fork out twice or thrice the cost for a grade 9 and above quality now.... wahlau.. but first, I must locate a place which sells something so high quality which is likely to be a Japanese restaurant lah... hahaa....

PS: I am not a food blogger. Go find the address yourself. I only know it's beside Katong Mall and they have a few branches with varying reviews. SO best is go there..
