Belated Birthday Dinner - Astons Specialisties

Please do not be alarm!  Yes, I am still having my birthday feast, though this it now belated.  This time, i checked out Aston Specialisties with my cell members.

We were supposed to be there at 7pm, but Auntie was 20 minutes late and plus the bad jam at PIE, we were 30 minutes late.  Poor Lena & Lynne had to endure people who were eyeing their table staring at them.  I chose the Aston at Katong, because this was the best out of all the Astons.  However, Auntie was not too happy with my choice, because Katong is notorious for parking.  We managed to find a lot, but she gave it up as she did not know how to parallel park.  So we parked at a private estate instead, and Auntie said that could save some money.  This was also why Auntie was called Auntie.  Though she was the youngest among us, she behaved like an auntie.  She haggled over 10 cents, lazy and favourite activity was to be a couch potato.  In summary, she did not behave at her age!

Wine for the night.  This was a strategic move to order wine, to prevent more stares!  So Lena ordered wine to buy some time..Aston's price was reasonable, $32 for a bottle of wine, quite reasonable.

We had the same dish, Ribeye Steak.  The only difference was the side dishes.  At $16.90 for Ribeye Prime Cut, you could choose 2 sides, either hot or cold.  The sides were the usual baked potato, baked beans, salad, greens, onion rings, french fries, mashed potatos.  Food was decent, given the price that we paid.  Total damage was $105.  Very reasonable.

We had a shock when we reached the car.  I saw a piece of paper sticked on the window, and when we walked closer, we saw that the car wheel was clamped!  A security guard came over to tell Auntie that she parked at private property, in order for him to unlock the clamp, she had to pay $100!!!    That was almost the price of the dinner!!!  From the summon, the car was clamped at 1950Hr, and we arrived at 1930Hr, they were really very viligant to clamp down the wheels!
