The large cream dory fish is crumb battered, which holds the soft flaky moist fish meat together well. Has pleasant sweet savoury flavour.
.
The crunchy coleslaw is refreshing with vegetal sweet notes, while the thin crisp shoestring potato chips hold nice starchy salty savoury flavour.
.
Generous portion and tasty.

A large, succulent, boneless chicken chop is flame-grilled till tender and juicy, with lovely natural sweet savoury flavour. Paired with a thick mushroom gravy, which lends robust earthy salty savoury peppery spice notes.
.
Choice of sides; I had soft warm baked beans over fresh lettuce with earthy sweet vegetal notes, crunchy fresh steamed broccoli with vegetal sweet flavour, and soft battered white onion rings with vegetal sweet salty grainy flavour.
.
Good value for money, portions are large and generous, plus, it feels rather healthy and wholesome.

Among the more recent brands to vie for 'quality hawker western food at affordable prices', they're known for serving large and hearty portions.
.
The beef ribeye steak is sourced from Silver Fern Farms in New Zealand. Carrying decent marbling, this was done to medium, served on a sizzling hot plate.
.
Has a succulent juicy tender chew and meaty savoury salty flavour. The bed of caramelised white onions prevent the beef from sticking, and lend a light vegetal sweet note.
.
Choice of 2 sides. Had the mashed potatoes which was smooth with starchy savoury salty flavour. The boiled broccoli and corn was juicy tender with vegetal sweet flavour, but I felt the dressing could be toned down.

Have been ordering this from JWS for quite a few times, always consistent in terms of quality!
Lettuce, onions, tomatoes, few pieces of grilled chicken topped off with loads of mayonnaise and a squeeze of lemon juice. The grilled chicken was well-seasoned and flavourful whilst the lemon juice helped to cut through the mayonnaise provided. However, I felt that more could be added into their salad considering the price paid and no, not just more mayonnaise (I would actually request for it to be taken out if I order this again). For one, the portion of grilled chicken provided seemed far too little.
Hence, I was overall quite disappointed and feel that the grilled chicken salad at Collins Grill & Bento is comparatively much better.Â
Price: 6/10
Taste: 5/10
Overall: 5/10 (Average at best)
Cheesy Broccoli & Corn: Cheese was sort of like a lighter version of nacho cheese in that it was more watery and the flavour was more subtle; Good if you are looking for something slightly healthier than the typical nacho cheese topping, bad if you're just looking for satisfaction
Coleslaw: Average, loaded with mayonnaise
I think this burger got its name from its really thick beef patty which was thankfully not dry. It wasn't the most flavourful but was definitely decent considering the price paid. A hearty portion of bacon was placed on top which provided a nice crunch but the bacon unfortunately lacked flavour. The sesame-seed buns were thick, buttered but could have been fluffier as it seemed kind of stale, definitely not to the point of tasting like cardboard but it definitely did not taste fresh as though preservatives were added to make the bun. The burger was loaded with sauces as well, I think it's mayonnaise and cheese, not sure if it's the same sauce as the one used in the broccoli but there was a hint of tangy BBQ sauce which worked really well in the burger.
Overall, for the amount of beef given, this was quite value-for-money if you're looking for a burger fix, but definitely do not expect high quality burgers.
Taste: 6.5/10
Price: 8/10
Overall: 7/10 (Worth trying for a more affordable place to get your burger fix)
