Coffee Shop Western Food place

HH and I often go around looking for good western food joints served at coffee shop prices. There are those usual places that offer very pedestrian chicken chop (no such thing as a chicken chop - but that's another story), lamb chops, fish and chips or chicken cutlet. These are usually served with cold tomato baked beans, some very plastic tasting coleslaw and greasy chips for about S$3.50 to S$5 depending on what you eat.

However we found a western food joint worthy of the calories and money spent. At Ang Mo Kio Central in a coffee shop next door to the large standalone Courts Mega Store, there is a western food joint that is really a cut above the others that we have tried.

I think it is called My Dad's Kitchen, but you really cannot miss it - it is the only western food place in the coffee shop.

So far, HH and I have only eaten the New Zealand rib-eye steaks. The first time we went there and discovered the stall, HH was wicked - he demanded to see how thick the steaks were before even considering wasting the calories.

Duly satisfied that the chef knew what he was doing, we both had the rib-eye steaks for dinner. They come with your choice of potato (baked, smashed, wedges or chips) and veg (coleslaw or steamed veg of the day) and a choice of topping - either black pepper sauce or mushroom sauce. HH always has mushroom sauce and I have mine topless to taste the meat.

These steaks are not cheap by hawker stall standard (the rib eye is $10.50) but they are excellent. The guy also has a version of apple salad that is also good - light mayo and a scattering of walnut and raisins.

We would highly recommend this place if you are in the area.
