Republic of Steak

Republic of Steak is a steakhouse restaurant.

Given the name Republic of Steak, it feels wrong to order anything-other-than-steak. we decided to share a Republic Burger, When the waitress brought the burger to our table, our first reaction was: “you gotta be kidding me!”. The republic Burger is HUGE. For $12.90 nett, the set comes with a drink and one side (choose from coleslaw, broccoli, salad, baked potatoes, mashed potato, fries, potato salad, onion rings, buttered rice).
The size of the deep-fried onion floss probably made a difference to the overall image of the burger, but still, it was a 200gm beef patty topped with streaky bacon, melty cheese, crunchy lettuce and fresh tomato.

Republic of Steak is a pretty decent place for good western food, U can try the Angus steak ($19.90) and some of the other main courses like Norwegian King Salmon ($13.90), Pork Ribs ($18.90) and Breaded Chicken ($6.90).

Tom’s Palette at Shaw Leisure Gallery is a local ice cream parlour which specialises in homemade ice cream with very unique and exotic flavours. Are you game to try ice cream flavours like Longgan Red Date, Sarsi, and chrysanthemum?

Tom’s Palette is known for their exotic ice cream flavours.
Sarsi-flavoured ice cream was somewhat like root beer float, with subtle hints of Sarsi. With a darker shade of green, the chrysanthemum had a very distinct and clean sensation.
Salted Caramel Cheesecake was divine: soft and slightly melted, the silky smooth with an airily light cheesecake taste.
The Melt & Sizzle Berries and Chocolate Pops; chocolate pop gave a sizzling sensation, and it felt as though the chocolate was dancing on the tip of my tongue.
Chocolate Sorbet. It was bitter, and much darker than the Imperial Dark (made of 95% Dark Chocolate) that I tried at Galta’s Gelato.

The ice cream flavours at Tom’s Palette will change periodically, so if there’s a particular ice cream that you want to try, do give them a call to see when it will be out.
