Who's heart stops just thinking about a deep-fried Golden Gaytime? As if the Golden Gaytime itself was rich enough, the crew over at the Abercrombie just had to dip it in batter and chuck it in the deep fryer too! My friends and I decided to catch up over a super late lunch after uni, since this hotel is very close by.
They have specials during the week as well as tonnes of lunch specials from 12-4pm for just $10! CHEAP AS.

| Korean fried cornflake chicken, $10.00 lunch special |
Who doesn't love fried chicken? I've never had one with a cornflake batter, but this was just as good with a nice crunchy exterior, succulent meat and damned awesome with a squeeze of lime and dunked into the spicy mayo on the side. The ketchup heart was a cute touch don't you think?

| Deep fried mac n cheese, $10.00 lunch special |
Mac and cheese is already comfort food at its finest - creamy, carbolicious and heavy. With a crunchy batter on the outside? Even better. Not something I'd have every day of course :P And definitely goes down with jugs of beer and cider - get them at only $10/jug from 12-10pm Monday to Friday which is insanely good value!

| Double reuben dog, $10.00 lunch special |
I normally have enough trouble finishing one hot dog (damned being a small Asian girl) so when this huge as double dog came to the table, I was stunned. How was I to finish this? It was bigger than all my guy friend's schnitzels and burgers! They were definitely generous with the mustard,sauerkraut and dill pickle sauce. And squeeze on the ketchup they give you on the side and you have a solid hot dog. Waaay too filling for me but hell yes to getting your bang for buck!

| Deep fried chocolate brownie, $7.00 |
Yes, they now have a deep fried brownie. Whaaat. A bit too heavy for me - I think I'll stick to traditional brownies thanks :)

| Deep fried golden gaytime, $7.00 |
To be honest, I wasn't particularly overly keen for this as it has been hyped up by the food bloggers all over the blogosphere. It was good, but not something so fantastic I wouldn't be able to help myself but rave about it to everyone. It really is like the deep fried ice-creams you get at Asian restaurants but with a Golden Gaytime centre instead :)
All in all, the Abercrombie has solid pub food that is great for uni students on a tight budget. Relaxing vibe, cheap booze and as long as you have good company, you're set for a good time.

ReplyDeleteSo much deep fried stuff happening at this hotel! I can already feel the fat surrounding my inner organs lol.
DeleteHehe we just drove past here yesterday! I like fried food but I'm scared that I won't be able to stop :P
ReplyDeleteIt'll be especially hard here as a lot of things on the menu are deep fried!
DeleteDEEP FRIED GOODNESS! Mmmmmmm. I haven't been here for a reason, I'm scared my arteries will clog up lol
ReplyDeleteToo many deep fried items on the menu to tempt us all! Don't worry - we are still young, I suppose we could always exercise it off right after hehe :D
