Another trip to Jack's Place at level 2 of Woodlands Civic Centre. As I have done a few posts on Jack's Place, I shall not do any introduction on this chain of restaurant. You can read more about Jack's Place in the previous posts.
Signature white and green checkered table cloth and menu. All branches in Jack's Place looks and feel alike.

| Administrative Professionals Week - Set Lunch Menu |
We decided to order the
Executive Set Lunch - N.Z. Ribeye Steak with Brown Sauce ($17.90) and were ordered that. As we were informing the staff that we wanted to upgrade to Lobster Bisque Soup (+$2.30), we were informed that we should order from the Administrative Professionals Week - Set Lunch Menu which would be more value-for-money as it comes with a choice of Lobster Bisque Soup or Cream of Fresh Shiitake Mushroom Soup. In addition, tempura prawns were served with the steak.
The staff was right. We were so glad that she made that recommendation! We both ordered the
Grilled N.Z Ribeye Steak & Tempura Prawns. The staff kindly accommodated to our request for it to be served in the hot plate instead of a normal ceramic plate.
Nothing beats eating steaks out of a sizzling hot plate! I am impress with the service! Thumbs up!

| Garlic Bread |
Garlic Bread was served together with the soup. One piece for each person.
 |
| Cream of Fresh Shiitake Mushroom Soup |
As usual, being mushroom fantics we had to order the mushroom soup -
Cream of Fresh Shiitake Mushroom Soup. A hearty bowl of soup was filled with lots of small chunks of shiitake mushrooms and mushroom flavour!

| Lobster Bisque Soup |
Ever since I tried the
Lobster Bisque Soup last year, I could not resist the temptation to order it again. Great soup, rich in flavour and great balance in taste. In addition, several chunks of lobster meat were in the soup. So affordable!
The Lobster Bisque Soup is one of Jack's Place house specialty.

| Grilled N.Z Ribeye Steak & Tempura Prawns |
For our main course, we both ordered the
Grilled N.Z Ribeye Steak & Tempura Prawns. The staff kindly accommodated to our request to serve it in a sizzling hot plate instead of the norm which is to serve in a ceramic plate. As usual, Jack's Place never disappoint me. Their steaks were good. It may not be the best, but its way above average. Their baked potato and vegetables were good too. The tempura prawns on the other hand was forgettable.
 |
| Brown Sauce |
We always request for extra brown sauce. We both polish off the sauce off by complementing the sauce with the steak. So yummy! If only, I know how they made the brown sauce. The extra brown sauce was enough to make me satisfy me.
Funny, how simple/trivia things can make a big difference.

| Day's Dessert and Coffee & Tea |
We ended off the meal with the Day's Dessert and Coffee & Tea.
 |
| Cherry Cake |
The Day's Dessert was Cherry Cake. It was not bad; not dry. Dense and well-flavoured cake.
For $18.90++ this meal was so value for money. In addition, I like their service. Staff are well trained, attentive and prompt. It was great that they made recommendation which was relevant to our
needs wants.
Great Job Jack's Place! I will be back! Nom Nom Nom..
I wonder how their other affiliated company - Eatzi Gourmet fares. Eatzi Gourmet serves similar food, the difference is that it is certified halal.
