Crispy Cuttlefish @ Beerthai House Restaurant

Ever since I've started my new job, I've probably had lunch at this place half the time. It's a hole-in-a-corner type of place called Beerthai House Restaurant. They serve very good and affordable Thai dishes.

For this trip, I had their Crispy Cuttlefish which wasn't really a one-person kind of serving. It was meant to be shared but I couldn't resist. It is a very simple dish but cooked perfectly and when dipped in their Thai spicy sauce, it was oh so good. I finished half of it while the rest I had doggy-bagged. The dish cost SG$15 (good for 2-3 persons). 

My lunch buddy ordered their Mini Thai Steamboat (SG$7) with seafood. It had green vegetables, shrimps, fishballs, squid and rice noodles. A word of advice though, I had a small sip of the soup and it was spicy. For me saying that it was spicy means it IS. I think I have a high tolerance for spicy food so if you're not, best if you let them know to make it less spicy.

Grilled Salmon Fillet @ Astons Specialities

Another lunch trip to Astons Specialities. I had my usual sidings: baked potato and coleslaw but this time I ordered their Grilled Salmon Fillet. The fish was perfectly cooked although the charred top was not to my liking. It didn't feel burnt but more like charred bits that stuck from their griller. I *shudder* to think that might be true. This meal was more expensive than the Grilled Fish (what kind of fish that was, I don't know) at SG$12.50.

My lunch buddy ordered their Crispy Fried Fish which looked really good. It looked like regular fish & chips but the breading more "bread crumby", if you know what I mean. I might order that next time.

Overall, another good meal at Astons.

Grilled Black Pepper Fish @ Astons Specialities

I thought the fish would be flavored with black pepper but in reality it was just grilled fish topped with their "versatile" black pepper sauce. I say versatile with quotation marks because it's a sauce they use over everything else that has "black pepper" on the menu. Before I became pescetarian, I used to enjoy their black pepper chicken -- yep, it's the same sauce. But I'm not complaining, still works well with the fish.

As Astons Specialities is known for, every dish (or most) comes with your choice 2 side dishes. They have a good selection of them divided into: (1) hot side dishes and (2) cold side dishes. You can choose from mashed potatoes or baked potatoes, garden salad or potato salad, to corn on the cob to side vegetables. I personally prefer their baked potato (topped with butter, no other choices) and coleslaw -- as you can see in the photo above. You can have both cold side dishes or both hot side dishes if you want, it's your choice. The main dish costs SG$7.50 which isn't bad at all.
