yes, thats my new haunt last friday, T.G.I.Friday! first saw it while walking along orchard road couple of weeks ago, and hey, who can resist trying a new food place?! finally made my way there last week after reading a couple of reviews on it...seems that they are pretty big in the US...so lets see how they will fare here...
closer look at the bar...theirs is a bar cum restaurant establishment, you have a non-smoking dining area on the 2nd floor, and a smoking area on the 1st floor....you can order both food from the restaurant menu and drinks from the bar in both areas...
since there are only 2 of us, and we weren't super hungry, we just ordered an appetizer and a main to share...for appetizers, we tried their take on buffalo-style popcorn chicken(above)...served with celery sticks and sour cream on the side, those chicken bites are spicy! at first bite, it seems ok, just a little tangy probably from the marinade...but few seconds later, the chilli hits ur tastebuds with a slight bam! phoah! but i find the chicken too tough and dry...probably because they use breast meat, and they cook it for too long...won't come back for this again...
for mains, we shared a Jack Daniels half rack ribs....the Jack Daniels marinade/sauce is supposedly their specialty, and its concoction is a big secret....after tasting it, to put it simply, it tastes like sweet bbq sauce...lol....but the ribs were not bad...pretty tender and not too dry....fries were nice too, especially after being sprinkled with cajun spices....much better than the buffalo chicken!
however, i find their food prices pretty steep...sure, their portions are big enough...but hey, this is an American restaurant, so isnt that size NORMAL?? so i still find their prices expensive....but i feel that the drink prices are pretty reasonable....especially the beers....probably will come back for the drinks and try some other finger food...
