if you are like me, you probably go to work everyday where you would have your meals at the same few places. so when a new restaurant opens in the vicinity, it would generate a bit of excitement among you and your colleagues. all the better if the food is cheap and good! and that's exactly what food addict café ...

it took me quite a while, but recently i finally stumbled upon one of the many astons express outlets. the concept reminds me of the wildly popular botak jones, with the plethora of meat and grill offerings in a kopitiam (not the food court) setting. yup, all the astons express outlets across the island are situated at coffee shops ...This article is the original content of …
