3 Reviews for “Astons Specialties (The Cathay)”
HFB is happy to announce that a new Astons Specialities has finally come to TOWN and is located at The Cathay Building!
With its simple wood-based furbishing and its signatured chalkboard indicating the Special of the Day, HFB couldn’t resist himself but be tempted by the promotion screaming WAGYU RIBEYE Grade 5/6 - $38.90nett [including 2 side dishes] and end up ordering it along with Sweet Corn and Coleslaw.
The sweet corn patted with butter was satisfyingly sweet – love it! As for the coleslaw, I would prefer the cut of the veggies be thinner, but otherwise it was normal.
Grilled to a perfect charred on the outside and medium rare on the inside, what sets this wagyu ribeye apart from the normal ribeye is the tenderness of the meat - marbled with monounsaturated fats; the natural juices that gushed out with each chew were such a delight! Also, the lingering tint of sweetness on the palate was pure enjoyment.
But coming back to reality, HFB wasn’t fully satisfied with 200gm of meat, and he was harbouring over his dining partner’s Prime Ribeye X’tra Cut ($16.50nett) that was much thicker and bigger.
Besides nicely cooked to medium rare, what HFB found lacking in the wagyu, was ironically satisfied by the X’tra Cut – the “Beefy” taste!
A personal preference, HFB believes a beef should taste like beef and that was somehow missing from the wagyu, or perhaps he is just not used to eating wagyu.

value for money! i give this aston’s outlet two thumbs up!
with their chicken dishes going at $6.50-$9 range, and steak at $12.90-$18.90, it’s really worth the bucks! what’s more there is no 10% service charge, so you need only to pay the GST.
downside is, the queue gets rather long during dinner hours, especially during weekends. it’s a small outlet so seats are quite limited. go there early on weekdays if you wish to be spared the wait!

Happened to be on the 4th floor of The Cathay yesterday. And happened to see a familiar sign at the corner. It was Astons Specialties! They’ve just opened this new outlet on Friday, 4 July 2008.
Am very happy to see that they had keep the price and no service charge policy at this new outlet although its in town. The place is very clean and simple. No fancy decor. Just monochromatic pictures on the walls, and simple and comfy tables and chairs neatly aligned. There is also outdoor sittings which wasn’t set-up yet when I was there. (It’s only day 2 of their operations!) There’s also the familiar chalkboard with the day’s special written on it.
Feeling hungry at 4pm, as I didn’t eat anything since that morning, I ordered the Prime Ribeye X’tra Cut with fries and pasta salad ($16.50), and a glass of ice lemon tea ($1.80).
The fries was crispy and nice. Just like those I had at Astons Express. I love them! And the pasta salad was fresh and the pasta was cooked just right. The prime ribeye was cooked to the right medium-rare and the meat was tender, chewy and juicy. I cleared the entire plate (which was relatively huge) on my own!
If you’re craving for good and reasonably priced steak in town, why not go to The Cathay for Astons Specialties?
