24 March 2010 (Wed): I went to this restaurant about a year and three months ago, on a day when A. asked me what was my favorite restaurant in Singapore when I was a kid. I answered "Jack's Place".
This is a household name for western food, as most kids know it. It's very reasonably priced, and I believe, it was one of those restaurants when one could hear oil sizzling on iron steak plates- something that was a thrill to kids those days.
The ambience then was great: It was dimly lit with a lot of wood and white table cloths. Now it has that 'minimalist' interior with no table cloths -only easy-to-clean smooth table tops- and no candles. It's bright and clinical. What a different Jack's Place it is.
The menu has reflected the change of times as well. There's a variety - including local sauces. Before, it was more "purely" western.
We ordered a chicken chop and steak (what we do not frequently eat), and they came with free desserts of mango pudding.
Overall, I can still say with some fondness: I like Jack's Place.
