Snooty service aside, the food here is really..amazing.
Generally, I cannot stand beef steaks. For a chewy piece of bloody meat, the calories I have to force down my throat is really not worth it. But this one is worth the intense gym session i just had to get rid of all that fat (:
Starters:
Cream of corn soup ($6/7 can't rmb) : Sweet, creamy, with lovely bits of corn floating around. The serving is generous (or maybe cos it's in one of those soup plates..) and should really be shared
Cream of mushroom soup ($6/7 can't rmb): Tasty enough with thinly silced mushrooms in every single spoonful.
Russian salad ($4) : This one is plain weird. Imagine a coleslaw without mayo, potato-carrot salad, 3 slices each of tomato and cucumber, some onion, one pickle and a long sprig of spring onion. Anw don't order this, a small bowl of the coleslaw thing will come with your main course.
Main courses:
Garlic steak ($25/26 again can't rmb): Super good!! For the first time in my life, I had a beef steak which had the texture of hamburger. It wasn't mushy, it was just THAT tender. And with the fried garlic, the dish is really indescribable. Amazing.
Mushroom steak ($25/26 i really shld be taking memory classes): Should be the same as the garlic steak, except with your usual mushroom sauce. But definitely order the garlic steak if you don't have to breathe into someone's face later on, for whatever reasons..
Dessert:
Baked alaska ($16; the menu says serves 2 but they're bluffing) : Half the fun is in watching the waitress light up the alcohol and pour it on the dish. They'll slice it up upon request, and I got a white creamy slice of ice cream, peaches, maraschino cherries and (i think) some-alcohol soaked sponge cake.

If you're in the mood for 'Russo-Hainanese' food, Shashlik's the place to go.
I've been a regular there ever since I was knee high to a Yao Ming, & just the mere thought of their Borsch with a dollop of sour cream shifts my salivary glands into overdrive.
Sure, they use a tomato base instead of beet, but imho that makes the soup all the more tastier.
If you don't take beef, there's always the chicken consommé (clear soup) with egg.
For starters, their Escragot's to die for, what with all that butter & garlic.
Steak-wise, I highly recommend their Carpet Bag Steak (serves two), though T-Bone's still my all-time favourite (seems smaller the last time I had it, or maybe my appetite just got bigger). Their speciality Shashlik's pretty good, but the serving's just too small...
For dessert, don't miss out on their Baked Alaska (cake covered with ice cream & meringue browned with lighted alcohol, it was even featured in TNP before), hitherto the most divine afters a man/woman can ask for.
On Wednesday lunch times, you can order their Oxtail set, which at around SGD 13 is pretty value for money. But be warned that the moment they start serving, it'll only take minutes for the set to be sold out.
& those of you whom have dined there before are sure to know of their infamous atas waiters & waitresses - stakeholders of the restaurant itself, buying it over when the original owners left. Though what with the lao jiaos being so lao, there's obviously some young bloods helping out these days.
There's a dress code as well, but it's not strictly enforced (my friend made it through dinner last Saturday safely with his berms & slippers).
The staffs' attitude & the hefty price tag aside, this is definitely a place worth patronising over & over again for their lip-smacking dishes.
