I love this Cobb salad! I hate paying more than $12 for a salad but the portion size complete with garlic bread & creamy blue cheese inside is worth it. Good find!

The chilli wings are delicious, especially when coupled with an ice-cold Tiger beer. Don't eat too many, you may regret it in the morning. :-)

Quite peaceful on a Saturday early evening. Good place for pre-dinner drinks. Gets crowded when match is on, it's the Toons 'homeground'.

Old Speckled Hen on tap. Food was ok, fish and chips were not too bad. Lots of screens showing sport so you should not have a problem getting a view of the game.

The second floor is a good place to hold private events or functions. Minimum spend of SGD 2000 nett only and you get the place for the whole night!

The Sunday roast (beef) is pretty tasty - although they should have roast potatoes rather than mush - not bad all in all!!

The food quality has dipped massively. In an area full of places selling good meals, they need to get their sh*t together!

To those who say the service is bad, chill out. So it takes a while for it to arrive, go to some shite fast food place if you want speedy service. Its no worse than any other Singapore bar.

What fascinates me is that the service is slow even on slow days. Three waiters on eight tables and still takes 20min to get a beer
