Just Acia @ Dhoby Ghaut Exchange

Dining at Just Acia with friends today.


Set meal - Basically you get to choose a main dish and then have an option to add $5.90 for free flow drinks and ice cream. 


Aglio Teriyaki Chicken Spaghetti - $9.20

This is a pretty weird combination. The aglio olio is buttery and salted while the teriyaki chicken with sauce is sweet. Personally I don't think they go well together so I ate them separately. I think the chef added way too much garlic. After eating all the spaghetti, there is still half a tablespoon of garlic on the side. Pretty decent aglio olio but not the best I've tasted.

Teriyaki chicken was a little overcooked.


Chawanmushi - additional $1.20 (with any set meal)

The egg was really smooth. There is nothing much in here, only the slice of fish cake on top as you can see with another cube of chicken to be found in the egg. However, for $1.20, there is nothing to complain about as the price is really low to begin with.


Free flow soft serve ice cream (from dispenser)

Tasted like Mcdonald's vanilla ice cream.


Free flow ice cream (scoop it yourself) - Jackfruit, Taro, Lime Shermet, Blueberry vanilla (Clockwise, starting from the left)

The jackfruit and blueberry vanilla were a little sweet. I really like the Taro flavour - yam fragrance when it melts. Lime sorbet was very refreshing and not too sour. There are more flavours there but I didn't try it all.


All in all, I think Just Acia offers a wide variety of meal such as Western, Japanese, Korean, Thai and weird fusion to choose from. There are a lot of seats available so it is pretty good when you are meeting up with a large group of friends.

Rocky's Pizza and Pasta

Location: Block 106 Clementi Street 12 (Sunset Way) #01-60 Singapore 120106

Meetup with my primary schoolmates. We decided to visit Sunset Way since one of my friends worked there. She mentioned that Rocky's Pizza and pasta is pretty good, so we decided to try. The place is a little old school kinda of dining place. There isn't really much of a crowd, only another large family and a couple.

At first, I wasn't very impressed with the dirty menu but the food really makes me love the place.

























A basket of chicken wings (4 wings and 4 drumlets) - $8.40 This aroma of the chicken makes me really hungry. I must say that this crispy and well marinated chicken is really one of the best I'd ever tasted in a long time. Perhaps it is because it is cooked and served instantly. The crispy skin and the tender and juicy meat is really savoury. We would order more if it wasn't that pricey.

























Boston pizza 12" large - $26.20 They have the size on the pizza on the wall so it is pretty easy to see. This is a pretty big pizza for just the 3 of us and I had three slices. It makes me super full with carbohydrates and cheese. This is one of the best pizza I've eaten. As good or even better than Sarpinos.

























Nothing better than a freshly baked pizza on a sunny afternoon. I love generous topping of mozarella cheese on the pizza!  Cheesy pizza with mushrooms, pepperoni, sausages and beef with tomato base. Very juicy!

























I was surprise that this two dish made me really full because I eat a lot usually. I definitely recommend the pizza! They do deliveries but I suggest eating there for the piping hot pizza. Check out Rocky's Pizza
