e.Black Board II @ Clementi

After I posted my review on Big D's Grill, my friend message me that e.Black Board has actually moved from their original Bedok South location, and not closed down. In fact, they have opened another new branch in Clementi.

My friend lives in the west, and we are always quite hard pressed for good places to eat in the west, decided to drop by to the Clementi branch for our dinner today. When we were there around 7+, the place was pretty quiet.

My friend ordered the grilled chicken ($6.50) while I went for the mix grill ($15). It did not take long before the food was served. However, the waitress mixed up my friend's order with a fish and chip. She apologised immediately and change the correct order for us. My mix grill came with a potato salad and boiled broccoli, while my friend's girlled chicken came with coleslaw and fries.

So how does this compare to Big D's Grill? Well, the mix grill was good, but not as good as Big D's, but it makes up with the price and quantity. I came with a piece of chicken, pork and steak. If compare to the mix grill at $12 at Tiong Bahru market, I think I've no problem paying the extra $3 (actually lesser). My friend commented her grilled chicken is actually better than the one at Botak Jones.

To sweeten the deal even more, there's currently at 10% discount, which makes our whole meal at $19.35, which makes the grilled chicken at just $5.85. I think this place deserves a 3.5 star for value for money, though food wise, I'll put that somewhere between at 3 and 3.5 star.

Overall, I think if you consider the cheaper items like fish and chips and grilled chicken at $6.50, this is definitely closer to HDB pricing and pretty decent western food, and even the steaks are around $14 - 15 if not wrong. Nothing too fancy, but still affordable to many who might want to splurge once in awhile on pay day. :)


PS. hmm... though the service was pretty good, I thought the waitress should have asked how i wanted my steak on my mix grill done though.
