Uncle Tom's Tavern @ JB

One of my favourite JB makan blog and let me found a cheap and delicious western food in JB. After our groceries shopping at Plentong Giant we decide to hop by this place for dinner. Is it next to Tesco Extra Plentong located at those shophouses.

Do note that they are closed on Sunday! We reached around 7pm and still manage to get a table, service was superb and food was good too. We ordered Calamari, Chicken Burger, Black Pepper Chicken Chop and Cajun Salmon with drinks. I have stated the price below, worth it or is it cheap is up to you to judge. A happy meal = A happy customer

Ssikkek Korean BBQ @ United Square

It was previously located at Novena Ville but after that place was demolished, Ssikkek has moved to United Square and of course with a price increase.

It is now located at the basement of United Square, next to a pub. Area was bigger comparing to the previous one and the variety seems to improve too. But something that will never change is that you will still stink after you step out 

We did not made any reservation because from my past experience they never bother even I told them I had called up but not so sure if they have improve on this. We reach at 6pm, restaurant was not packed yet and we manage to get a table without waiting. The staff was very nice, they came and told us to grab the meat fast before the 8pm crowd comes it. To my horror, the queue was sreally long when time comes. I think at least a 20 min wait and although they replenish fast the meat was still frozen. I should have took a picture of the 'dragon' queue lolz

I love their cooked food, the chewy rice cake which is not very spicy, my friend love their soup and they even have fried chicken wings which run out fast. Though the wings is crispy but very bland and best of all, the drinks are free flow and there is a individual salad table. Their mango smoothie is very nice, their pork collar, belly and bacon is my favourite. Sadly, they don't have korean pancake here.

Total damage for each pax on friday dinner was $28.60, definitely worth the return and I am sure I will be back again.
