Firstly, the waitress refused to give two of us a booth seat for 4 people but she later gave it to a couple. Secondly, the waitress asked us if we wanted to order first as they were clearing the table. 14K said no, we&#8217;d decide at the table. But she was persistent and asked again albeit in a polite manner.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">I ordered the <strong>Prime Sirloin<\/strong> ($11.90) with 2 side dishes of onion rings and potato salad and 14K the Potato Queen had the <strong>New York Strip<\/strong> ($14.90) with mashed and baked potato.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">When I was on the South Beach Diet, there was specific areas of the cow you could eat, the less fat portion. If I remember correctly, the tenderloin, top round and shank are the less fat parts. I ordered sirloin because it&#8217;s near tenderloin &#8211; so it may be less fat too?<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">The <strong>sirloin<\/strong> was less thick and small than the <strong>Strip<\/strong>. I ordered medium-rare, which is how steaks are best to be eaten, and 14K ordered medium. Mine turned out to be rare, while his, to be medium-rare. Maybe it&#8217;s because they are always busy, so they cook the steaks for less time. Tip: Order your beef one grade longer. So if you want it medium-rare, you should order medium. The steaks were also too bloody.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">However, besides the blood and the undercooking, I love it. The quality was very consistent for the two outlets. The beef was tender and tasty. The side-dishes were satisfactory. When I said I love Astons, 14K said, chey it started off as a kopi tiam. I&#8217;m ah beng ok!?! don&#8217;t despise my $6.40\/bottle of beer kopi tiam!!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">Decor was fuss-free, functional.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">Overall, good and value for money, but you have to pay for <strong>water<\/strong> ($0.30), which I don&#8217;t like. But I still won&#8217;t queue for it because there are good food everywhere in Singapore.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\"><strong>Astons Specialities<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">180 Kitchener Rd<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">City Square Mall<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">#01-30<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">Singapore 208539<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">T: 6634 4755<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\"><strong>Rating: 3.201\/5 stars<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Strip Prime Sirloin Not a big fan of queuing, I only eat Aston when there is no queue, which means, I have only eaten it twice, once at Cathay, and recently, at City Square, Little India. 14K was very irritated at the service.
