Friend suggested this place for a Sunday breakfast as the review from a blog was pretty positive. When we arrived at 9+ in the morning, the place was already pack, though not to the extent of having need to queue to get our seats though.

I ordered a Full Monty aka Hobbs' Choice ($20) which came with three fried eggs, sausage, bacon, grilled tomato, mushroom, baked beans and buttered toast, as well as a choice of coffee and tea and an orange juice. My friend ordered the scrambled eggs ($6), with additional bacon ($2.50) and mushroom ($1.50) and an orange juice ($5). There's no GST and service charge is $3.50 (hmm...on the receipt is shown as a flat rate of $3.50 instead of a percentage). Total bill came up to $38.50.

For a start, I felt the orange juice at $5 was a little expensive if you ordered separate. The full monty at $20 seems more value money as it come with both coffee/tea and orange juice, which probably cost $8 - 10. Food wise, I found it to be pretty good, though there's nothing special given what we ordered. The bacon were crispy and not tough, and the toast was well done as well. Portion wise is also decent as well.

Overall, a nice cosy place for a sunday breakfast or brunch and worth a 3.5 star.

    Restoran Todak (Orang Asli)
    CyberTron commented..
    My last 2 trips there this year was kinda disappointing as well. First time, somewhere near CNY, a lot of seafood was sold out, even the beer! Thought cos we were there late, so the next time we decided to get there earlier, and this time, the crab where sold out! Service was also very slow and not enuff people to serve the customers. Food wise, I think price is still ok, but I think the food is not longer as good as when it was less well known.... planning to try senibong next round...

    Have not been to Jogoya before, but I've been to the Gonbei opposite. Priced similarly to Jogoya if not wrong, and I thought the service and food was pretty good.

    I went with 7 adults and 1 kid, we spent less than $120. I would safely hazard a guess of $18 - $25 per person, depending on how hungry you get. Real value for money for quality food.

    Gonbei Fine Japanese Cuisine
    CyberTron commented..
    Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.
