Live the American Dream

Everytime I walked pass City Link Mall, I will pass by this restaurant, tempted by the photos of the food hanging all over the place. It seems almost like they are shouting out for me to give them a try. And finally last Sat, try I did.
New York New York is basically a American restaurant selling food from the land of freedom (yes, they even have fries that called Freedom Fries instead of French Fries). Well, there are nothing really special about American Dishes ... except they come in huge portion.
I don't really say that the portion is huge, but it is enough to fill my big tummy.

Tempted by the description, I decided to forgo getting mozzarella cheese in exchange for 'Very Sinful, fried cheeseball oozing with cheese' and buffalo wings for starter.

Smoky Cheese Ball

When the Smoky Cheese Ball ($7.90) arrived, it does looks tempting. And I can't wait to sink my teeth onto it and let the cheese flow into my mouth. On my first bite .... it was kind of disappointed. Nothing close to oozing with cheese nor I think it was sinful. Yes, there was some cheese .. together with some bits of potato .... really taste like 'Hashbrown Ball with cheese'. I really kinda of feel like being 'smoked' by the smoky cheese ball.

Buffalo Wings

The buffalo wings ($6.90) is much better. 4 huge wings (cut into 8 pieces) and it comes with a cheese dip (i think is blue cheese, which surprisingly ah pui soh (who hate blue cheese) says she like it with the 'smoky cheeseball' .. hmm maybe I could let her try it with garlic dip :p). 8 juicy piece of chicken, not the best chicken wings in town, but still reasonable good enough. The wings are well marinated, and when dipped with blue cheese ....... yummy ;)



For the main course, I order a Roast Beef Sandwich (Beefeater, $7.90). It comes with the sandwich and some greens and sad to say ... no the usual fries or mash potato. The sandwich taste .. well I would say average. But the bread itself is toasted just nice, not too hard or soft that will become soggy when the juices and sauce gets into the bread.

We also order a Pork Chop Pasta in cream sauce ($16.90). A bit on the expensive side (as compare to other dishes) but I would say the pork chop taste great. Nicely fried, juicy and not too hard. So I am not complaining.




Overall, I would say that this place is not really fantastic, but also not that bad. It is a good place to gather with your friends (yes, the place with kinda noisy), good for all the gossiping and laughing. Average pricing, decent food portion and a good selection of American style drinks like rootbeer float, ice-cream sodas and ice-cream. And did I forget to mention, there are free flow of candyfloss, yes free :)

I would give this place a Ahpui score of 6.5/10. Not die die must try, but no harm trying.
