botak jones @ clementi

the other day, when i gave daniel a lift home, he mentioned that there was a botak jones outlet near his place, at block 325 clementi avenue 5. he gave the location as somewhere near pei tong primary school.

botak jones started at tuas, at sungei kadut eating house located at the junction of pioneer sector 1 and sector 2. it catered to the workers in the pioneer road area but soon attracted foodies from all over the island. it is closed on sundays. to avoid the crowd, visit the place on a saturday. the supervisor of the place is a former monk's hill student.

the other outlet is at ang mo kio. both the ang mo kio and clementi outlets are closed on mondays. the ang mo kio's botak jones is at yue hua food place, block 605 ang mo kio avenue 5. the clementi's one is in a kopitiam. both outlets are open from 12 noon to 10 p.m. the original botak jones at tuas closes at 8 p.m. on weekdays and 5 p.m. on saturdays.

tried the lamb chop. it comes with sliced button mushrooms, lots of fries, coleslaw and cabbage and mint. still prefer the one i had at werner's oven.
