Just Acia

Stranded in the East of Singapore not knowing where to eat?


Just Acia may not be the best but it is definitely value for money.


Simply get a set meal and you get to enjoy free flow drinks and ice cream!


Make your own root beer float and hot chocolate to drink all night long.





First set is Korean stir fry chicken with rice.


huge plate of chicken, with some kimchi by the side. served steaming hot. not so much on quality but quantity.

See, effort put in. Sesame seeds. :)




Yummy hot chocolate with foam some more.....




Breaded prawns by the side. cheap and good. not coated with thick batter but light and crispy bread crumbs.






not as impressive as compared to the rest. tom yam was not authentic in taste. dont even taste like maggi tom yam. ingredients were generous but simply just dump and cook. not recommended.

crispy seafood rolls. as the name suggest. crispy. the seafood filling was succulent, not too dry, not too salty with some 'real flesh' texture.






soft shell crab was slightly softer i guess due to the size of the crab. slightly too big to be deep fried. but overall the taste was up to standard. better than some of the budget japanese restaurants.



total bill :)







Auntie note: cheap food, free flow drinks and ice cream. be very hungry so that you can eat the ice cream after the meal.

Thai Table

was reading a food blog yesterday and felt really guilty.
the blogger even though with not so good quality pictures, short description and some weird stories manage to capture my attention with reviews on rare eateries. some interesting places in chinatown that i am so eager to try out now.

thai food for bday for me this year.
Tom Yam soup for me and boy. the soup was on the spicy side, not too sour. it was quite worth the money given the amount of ingredients (sorry not reflected well in this pic). placed over a flame to ensure that there is hot soup throughout the dinner.

Thai Fish Cake
was just ok. i think slightly dry, not to my liking. the coconut milk on top smelled rather heavy and didnt complement the fish cakes well.

minced chicken with basil leaves wasnt to my liking too. slightly milky, onions made it taste overly sweet. this dish supposedly goes well with rice, but too sweet to go along.






Baby Kailan was good. with golden garlic sprinkled on top. effort made to enhance the appeal of vegetables. if you have kids, there's mushrooms as well.






Vermicelli was perfect. the wok taste was nice and fragrant enhanced by the huge variety of ingredients. the vermicelli was not too soft, QQness was still preserved. especially like the black fungus adding to the colour.






Fish on the other hand was good but lost to competitor NAKHON. fish was smaller, less meaty. the sauce was too watery to coat the fish whenever you take it up. however fish was fresh and fried to the right crispiness.








Auntie note: quite value for money, free parking but hard to find a slot. staff is friendly and place is not packed to the brim. good for couples dating.

Overall, thai table was good. call up earlier for sri lanka crabs for low low price. will come back again if i had no idea what to eat i guess.
