Meh... @Bar Bar Black Sheep

Hello Earth,

This is the Time for another posting.

I know I am NOT the most discipline person who will religiously posted a blog on a weekly basis as I have initially set out to do or as much as I wished too, but you must know I live a life and a color one, at least that what's I hope to believe.

Anyhow, since my past few postings were negative or not so positive, depending on how you viewed it, like they said "Is your cup half empty or half filled", hence determining to be a positive person from here on and not be as wicked as I used to be, I have decided that this week posting shall be one of positiveness, given that as our beloved MP informed that even people who earns $1K a month in pay can afford a HDB flat now, I might want to stretched it a little further and say that cow can fly, pig can sing and ugly is now the new beautiful.

So here I was at Bar Bar Black Sheep located along Bukit Timah Road at 879 Cherry Avenue and NO, they don't have any cherry related history as I know, but perhaps the person who named the street for one, can't find a more interesting name, or two, he/she loves cherry, or three, he/she is named cherry and if it is a he, he must be GAY right, or four, he/she knows only limited words and cherry is one of those 10 words that he/she remembers from primary school, or five, she found cherry at the 7/11 there and decided that it is only place in Singapore that sells cherry, I can go on for days and have a thousand reasons why this street was named "Cherry" but think I better stop here and do a Cherry Thesis for my PhD, thereafter my friends will call me "Professor Cherry".

Note: There are 2 Bar Bar Black Sheep now, one which is in Bukit Timah and the other is Robertson Quay, DO NOT go to the one Robertson Quay for the stalls are managed by different operators and not even close in terms of quality or taste, with the only similarity being the name of the joint. 

Bar Bar Black Sheep with no Sheep, probably all the Sheep are too drunk to work

As you can see the signage, it shows a rather curious looking sheep, which I too would used to best describe this place, for you see no one "I think" has the slightest idea what the owner were trying to accomplished here, thus this place turned out to be a restaurant of sort, a hawker of sort or even a coffee shop of sort with an "ATAS " feel, that it successfully achieved and I must admitted that I kinda of like it or maybe because I am too confused a person too.

For a starter, they don't have coffee or tea served out of socks like your friendly neighbor coffee shop, however I never have to restored to ordering coffee or tea before so I can't be 100% sure too, as you see, they have a large collection of beer from all around and nobody can say "NO" to beer or am I the only one? Secondly, this joint is NOT managed by a central system like most restaurants, but by the individual stalls comprising of one drink stations, one Thai, one Indian and my favorite burger joint, but don't get me wrong, the Thai and Indian are good, just not my favorites just yet. Third, this place is NOT air-conditioned like most ATAS joint. Forth, the price are slightly higher than your downstairs hawker or coffee shop but slightly lower than your ATAS restaurants, so are they confused or just trying to fill in the gap for the high class who are cheapskate and the lower class who try to be in the higher class, I think that's what they called "Middle Class" which I will define as "A joint in a high class area with a low class concept", maybe but who can be sure what middle class definition nowadays.

See to believe

Anyway, we are here for the glorious food and the rest should be of secondary concerns, right ?

Okay, if the food is no reason enough, they do have some cute looking female servers from the drinks stations but don't expected the rest of the stalls to have the same, therefore one can related to why many expats men are there only for drinks and not for the food at all,and if you are single ladies, then maybe you go there to prey on expats men while they prey at the cute looking servers, to what I would called "Completing the food chain, SPG style".

First up, escargot nothing much to say really but to enjoy it like one should, given that the snail is just cook to a right Q nor too overly chewy or too soft like cherry but juicy enough for it not to be disgusting at all, plus it is served in a pool of good spices which in no way overpowered the original taste of the escargot, and to top it with toasted bread, oh... what a combination.

Applause if you must, it is THAT good. 

WARNING: If you a snail crawls too slow, you it will send up here

Next up, calamari and chicken stick.

They are both good, for the calamari is fresh and you can almost taste the sweetness of the sea and the chicken seems to be running just seconds ago before it got served on the plate as the meat is juicy and tender like all chicken should be, however I had better before, but it is definitely above average.

However, as you can see it is not the healthiest selection with oil rushing out of the baskets but nothing can go wrong with good beer, and if one/two beer is not sufficient, please drink more, as the more you drink, the more handsome I will become and the healthier the food will be.

By now, you should be drinking more BASTARD/BITCH/SLUT/WHORE Mr/Miss

For the Main Attraction, it got be the BURGER.

I mean, just look at it, how can anyone say anything but just sink your mouth into the juiciest and most heavenly burger you can find on this red dot. No words are good enough to describe it, so I will just SHUT up and let you enjoy the picture now and do trust me, if the picture looks good, the real thing taste so much better.

To me, this is probably the No.1 burger in Singapore at this moment till I can find a better place where cows go.

 

Come to D-addy or regret that you ever live !?!!

Verdict Out of Five (5*):

1. Quality of Food: 4.5 (Only taking into consideration of the burgers and lots of beers)
2. Ambiances: 3.5 (It is small but cosy enough)
3. Audiences: 3 (60% Expats, 39% Locals and 1% Others on most days)
4. Price: 3 (Reasonable price given the location, else PLEASE stick to your hawker $3 dollars chicken rice, you cheap son of a bitch mother)
5. Services: 3 (Self-Ordered, and will serve to your table, and that is good enough for me)
6. Hygiene: 3 (No dead animals yet)

So my overall conclusion is 3.5*, good food, good beer and good food. Since I am married, I shouldn't be speaking too much about the opposite sexes, else my missy will have me know who wears the pants at home.
