Ang Mo Kio Coffee Shop Steak SMACKDOWN - Astons Express vs Yilmaz Western Food





Astons Express
Fu Chan Coffee Shop
Ang Mo Kio Ave 8
  • Relatively cheap compared to restaurant such as Jack's Place etc... (price range of SGD10 plus to SGD20)
  • Fairly good steak, not too far off from what we requested in cooking. Our medium is between medium and medium well
  • Sides are not too bad too but not consistently good. I usually go for fries (yummy with some chilli powder seasoning on top) and mashed potato (can range from heavenly to norm) 
  • We would choose to return to Astons Express over Yilmaz for the value and corresponding quality of the steak and the fries. 
Yilmaz Western Food
Coffee City Coffee Shop
Ang Mo Kio Ave 6
  • We spent $18 for two.
  • We decided to check out Yilmaz based on an online review that recommended it as the best in Singapore. It's not bad but it was not that fantastic either. 
  • The medium steak was chewy, if you like meat, it's ok. The wife got tired chewing it. More meat for me!
  • The fries were disappointing. They came drowned in the steak gravy and soggy. The mashed potato was uninspiring. Besides fries, the sides include a portion of corn, shredded cabbage and coleslaw. No broccoli. 
  • We also ordered a chicken chop, it was ok. The sauce was interesting. Too bad we tasted more pepper than the flavour of the sauce.
Conclusion: Perhaps Yilmaz used to be good, we don't know. But we'll likely re-visit Astons Express rather than Yilmaz when we are in the area.
