Food Review: Jerry's Bar and Grill @ Jalan Kayu

I have always wanted to try the ribs here because I saw a show on them long long long time ago. So when a few friends were meeting up and wondering where to have dinner, I suggested this place.

They have some outdoor seats, some indoor seats and some seats which seemed to be in the basement. The place seemed clean and homely. We met up, had a chat, looked through the menu and wanted to order. But guess what, no one was around to take our order. And even when there were waiters serving food to the tables outside, they disappeared very quickly and we still could not order. This was the major problem at this place in my opinion. I mean, it was a peak hour but having so few workers around was definitely not a good idea. And I wasn't the only one waiting for my order to be taken. Almost all the tables around were frantically trying to get the attention of the waiters. This was a real letdown here.

Now lets talk about the food. My girlfriend and I shared the slow-cooked ribs with half a roasted chicken. I have to say, it was really awesome. The meat fell off from the ribs with minimal force and the sauce used to marinate the meat was equally splendid. We could choose two side dishes with this main course so I ordered the broccoli and potato salad. Both were simple and delicious. Our friends ordered fish and chips and chicken chop. I did not try it, but it looked quite good as well. Oh yes, for appetisers, I ordered the fried mushrooms. They were somewhat tasty, but I prefer the ones I had at Coastal Settlement.

Overall, this was a filling and satisfying meal, but service was simply too slow and minimal for comfort. Even our bill took almost twenty minutes to complete. And refilling of water took ten minutes. If the service was fast and if the workers were friendly, this would be a spectacular place to chill at.
