Astons Clarke Quay

well, astons is always known for being a VFM western food chain, especially if you're on a budget. but bonus for us this weekend! we were so tired after walking around and just wanted to settle for something quick around The Central. Most shops are closed, and we didn't want to spur on Chinese restaurants. As someone whove lived in Australia for quite some time, a plate like this is really costly. But this plate here with such a bonus scenery only costed us $12.90, of course, with the complete-the-meal set where there is an additional mushroom soup and a nice little juice.

For small eaters, you can simply get this plate of lemon lime chicken for $10.90. The best part of it is that it is inclusive of two side dishes, ranging from potato salad to Mac and cheese. The lemon lime chicken was grilled almost to perfection, it was tender, juicy and flavourful. The mac & cheese also tasted freshly made, richly in cheese.

For the mushroom soup, this is the real deal. It is creamy with lots of little pieces of mushrooms and tasted really mushroomy. It is coupled with a golden toasted bread that definitely seems crunchier than it looks.

Well, even though Astons is often known as the budget western restaurant to locals, this restaurant serves food that are definitely higher quality than to be called 'budget'!

Overall the dining experience and ambience were pleasant with a nice scenery out while having our meal, overlooking the river, constituting to the perfect afternoon. Priced at $12.90 for both the lime chicken and the mushroom soup inclusive of the drink, we'd give it a rate of 8/10 and conclude it to be very VFM!
