Borshch Steakhouse (Chomp Chomp)

If you like something different from the regular restaurant EAT OUTS, you should visit BORSHCH steak house. Its further down the shop houses after SuSHi Tei at the Serangoon Garden area. I was around there and I was captured by the outlook of the restaurant.

It look rather retro, kind of reminded me of english coffee houses during the eighties at low level flatted areas. They serve a good variety of normal and executive set lunches and dinners at very value for money prices. Written on a standing white board is the menu and the items for TODAY SPECIALS. While I entered the Restaurant, it emits a RUSSIAN Ambience. Not the Chic Russian kind of look rather the HOMELY Russian Feel. With the neatly layed table, I sat down with my friend at the corner.

The walls were adorned with some pictures which were pretty old, not exactly pretty but very vintage.... I order a Lamb Shank executive lunch and it comes with a beef soup, garlic toast, dessert and coffee, all for $12.80.

The soup arrived quickly and I happily tucked in. It was tomato based beef broth, very savoury and healthy with lots of Vegetables. I personally felt it was a little like the Campbell's ABC Vegetable soup but as i had it more and more, it got more and more delicious. Its not too blend but of the right taste and i don't feel thirsty as when i always do after canned soup.

My Lamb Shank looked HUGE... The meat was tender and the gravy is scrimptiously delicious.... It is not bloachy like when you over do the corn starch, rather, its watery but you could taste the richness of the many ingredients added. Not exactly chuncky as the ingredients have been boiled to melt inside the sauce. The potatoes and vegetables by the side is nicely poached to perfection and goes well with the sauce.

Later, the dessert was a scoop of ice cream and coffee and i put the ice cream on top of the coffee to reduce calories and to make my favourite Leenie's AFFAGATO.....

After the scrumptious meal I need not worry about exercising off the fats, as i felt preservatives free and healthy.. *heehee*

Perfect for a ROMANTIC, DOWN TO EARTH Dinner...... FAB....
