DT Rants stuffing meat into his mouth

After a fantastic (but extremely chilly time) at the bowling alley, we moved on to Botak Jones for dinner. I had heard about this place from my beloved, but since it was located way out in Tuas, it could not fit in the SAS dinner menu. Thankfully, they've recently opened a branch in Clementi, and since I was driving, heartily recommended the place for dinner.

Squeezing Rickey, Rugburn, Sandman and Horfun into the back of my Mazda 3 was no mean feet. Luckily, we were heading FOR dinner. It was a tighter fit AFTER dinner when I gave JUST Rickey and Rugburn a lift home.

The wait was long, but worth it. We got there at about 7ish, and only got food about 8ish. If this were blooies, we would've been bitching about the wait. But since it was only a coffeeshop, the coffeeshop was packed (I figured that they must have had about 50-70 orders before us) and the food was prepared fresh, we didn't complain. As with coffeeshop food, it did not arrive all at one go. First to show up at the table were the hot'n'spicy bratwursts ordered by Rickey, Sandman and my beloved. It was a massive plate covered in onions, fries, coleslaw and bun. Sadly the sausage was dwarfed by the rest of the stuff. It wasn't a very large sausage. Next came the deep fried jalapenos. They were delicious. Much much better than the ones served in Blooies. They were super crispy on the outside, and spicy, moist and cheesy on the inside. Super yum. Next came the Ribeye for the princess. It only cost $13 but it was huge and looked mighty yummy. Finally, our burgers arrived. But they screwed up the order. Rugburn and I ordered the botak double normal, and Horfun ordered the botak double with cheese. But they took her order as a botak burger with cheese (maybe the guy saw her ordering and didn't think she could finish a double). The burgers were HUGE. 150g patties, TWO of them. Rugburn couldn't fit it into his mouth, and I cheated. I removed the veges before I tried a bite.

Total bill came up to $69 for 7 people. It was american food at coffeeshop prices. This will make a great post ball dinner destination. And the crowd winds down at about 8ish, so if we hang around at Joes till about 8 and head there, we'd get a table and also not have to wait too long for our food. The variety is pretty good too. And beer is CHEAP... coffeeshop prices for the bottled tigers.


The Double Botak, covered in Cheese. Horfun wanted this, but only got the single. Rugburn and I had it without the cheese.

This is what a single botak burger looks like.

H's airflown Ribeye.

Delicious Stuffed Jalapenos.

Rickey and Sandman had this. But as a set, with fries and the works. Imagine this plate, covered with fries and coleslaw.
