Worst Value for Money Western Food In All Aspect

Whats the worst western food u had ?
Today i had dinner at this ' Blackboard ' Western Food at blk 18 Bedok South. The end result ... its beyond dissapointment, i believe cookhouse food from army camp taste better. This place is full of ah bengs at the cashier, not so sure of the cooks inside, they are trying to follow Botak Jones style but CMI. I am sure it not survived over 1 year at the rate its doing. My friend told me that this stall is featured on TV before and now i am wondering how much they paid for the advertisement.
i order pork chops with apple sauce. super over priced at $8
1st the serving is super small for the pork, comfirm lesser then 200g, total suface area is lesser then 2 ciggerette box. Its cut unevenly and thickest part is lesser then 1 cm and thinnest part is lesser then 5mm
2nd they bloodly cheat on the cutting of the meat, personally i believe that pork chops should be the cutting with a bone in it. They use pork loin or pork shoulder which is mostly use in those fried pork cutlets.
3rd apple sauce is just some puree apple or apple jam , and its like lesser then 1 table spoon.
4rd fries are cold .. and i mean cold with not even a hint of warmth inside.
5th the sides is lousy, it comes with coslaw, given the price at less have some garden greens or lettuce, besides the closaw sucks
Reviews of what my friends ordered
Jumbo Fish and Chips - they uses typical dory fish with is cat fish from vietnam, the serving is just the size it shld be .. nothing jumbo abt it, best part is the fish is unseasoned and has a fishy smell. The lemon wedge they give is skinned. This is weird who will skinned a lemon and use it as a garnish unless theres something wrong with the skin .. or they use the lemon skin / zest to season other stuff.
Cajun chicken - nothing fantastic about the taste, the serving again is small , its thicker then those typical local western food but still nothing to shout for. Its undercooked and overall is not cook up to 1/2 cafe standard
Sambal Chicken - Wow this is the better one. Why .. its cuz the amount of sambal they give is thicker then the chicken itself. Besides the sambal covers the taste of the uncooked chicken.
Overall, i NEVER eat there unless its the only food stall there and its free. Maybe its a sunday, maybe its not my day. Anyone that eaten there before feel free to give coments.
PS. if not i am on crutches , i bring that plate of dog food standard pork chop to the counter and comfort them. -
circuit road one is damn good n cheap.

I personally didn't like my experience at E.blackboard. It was disappointing. See my review here. I haven't been back to re-visit since then.Originally posted by crabx:any links from food reviews from ieat or smallpotatoes or dancingblueseal?
Personally, I also dislike Mr Bean. -
nice to see that its not me and my tastebuds resulting in this disappoinment.
seriously the standard is not worth a review and the standard is below ( eat only when hungry and u have no choice ) rating -

Will never give this stall a 2nd chance to earn my money. -
I know the feeling of having been taken for a ride. If I were you, I'd have raised further hell by complaining to the press. Go talk to the journalists! They willl happily listen to your story. Bad press will surely bring the Ah Beng business to its knees....! And you'll be the hero to save other unsuspecting members of the public from being cheated as well!

actually i dun feel i been taken for a ride cuz i had low expectations of the whole picture when i was there .. but i was with my frens and they suggest that place. abt going to the press it be too much trouble .. i rather spent time here sharing ideas with ppl or finding food worthy of being eaten. with such standards the place will bring themselves down in matter of months.
talking abt this makes my blood boils again ... if only i am not on crutches for the moment i would go and talk to the person that cook that plate of @#$@#$ that i was served -
Nowadays I only go marche for western food.

Went to Botak Jones last Saturday. After trying the Cajun Chicken and Fish & Chips, i simply dont undersatnd what the long QQQQQQQQQQQ is for !! -
eh...value for money?
if you want marche standard food...u pay marche standard price..
if you pay botak jones price...expect coffeeshop standard.. -
End of the day i believe in this , If u want something done by yr standard , You got to do it yourself.
