Good & inexpensive steak @ Hot Tomato

 

These beef steaks are from Hot Tomato (NEX Mall). Between 3 pm and 5.30 pm from Monday till Friday, HT offer a discount of 25% on its main course. Over 60 years old customers can get a further 5% discount (total 30%). The offer is not available on weekends and eve of public holidays.

The 2 of us spent a total of $45. The steaks were juicy and tender. This was not the first time we were at HT.

Rib-eyed and sirloin steaks

If you like nice beef steak which is reasonably priced, visit Hot Tomato at one of the shopping malls like NEX Mall. Between 11.30 am and 5pm, HT gives a hefty discount of 25% on its main courses to senior citizens (above 60) and others a 20% between 3 pm and 5 pm. They also give good discounts for students. The discounts are applicable on weekdays only.
The 2 pieces of steaks cost us about $28 after discounts.

We had early dinner last evening at Hot Tomato. The steaks were fabulous considering the prices we paid. The top picture was that of sirloin steak and the other one was filet mignon. Because we were at Hot Tomato around 5 pm, the meals were sold at 20% discount (since I am a senior citizen aged above 60, I was given an additional 5% discount). Total bill was $35.
Strangely, eating red meat seems to cure my wife of her coughing in the night. As for me, consuming steak helps keep my skin healthier.
We have decided that since eating steak is beneficial to our health, we will try to eat them at least twice a week.

Once in a while I would crave for a Malay dish called lontong. The stall that sells spicy and yummy lontong is at the Kovan hawker center. There are 2 Malay stalls are next to each other but the best lontong is the stall on your left. $3.50 is all you have to pay like the one above which I had this morning.
In the afternoon, I went to Nex Mall at Serangoon bus Interchange and had my lunch over there. It was 3 pm and so there was a 20% discount on all main courses (from 3 pm till 5 pm on weekdays only). I had the steak with 2 huge prawns and spaghetti plus a plate of Caesar's salad. The damage was $24!

Was at Nex Mall in the evening and decided to have my dinner at Hot Tomato. Ordered the pork chop with sausages and pasta ($12.90 ++). It was a good meal but still not satisfied and so proceeded to KFC a few doors away and had the cheesy chicken meal set ($8.20). This KFC meal was really yummy and worth every cent I've paid for.

Breakfast & Lunch@ NEX Mall

A breakfast of udon at Idaten and rib-eye steak lunch at Hot Tomato. The rib-eye is nothing compared to the one I ate at Buddy Hoagies. The price difference is about $4. At Buddy the water is free of charge and one may help himself to the cold or warm water. As for Hot Tomato, a glass of water cost 20 cents.
Udon is hopelessly hard. Would not recommend that you eat at Idaten, whether be it the fried crab meat or tempura as they were cold.

Woke up early and is heading for the airport at 6 am to meet the arrival of a cat from Japan. Need to help it clear the AVA and other import formalities. Will also send the pet to its new home in the later part of the morning.
Going to be a busy and exciting day for me partly because of the Melbourne Cup race which I will be watching "live" at 12 noon.

Will continue to update.....

Late afternoon report:

The 2015 Melbourne Cup winner was outsider Prince of Penzance (190 to 1) with female jockey Michelle Wayne (first female jockey to win the Cup) on board.
