Finally, all of us Upper East Siders (=Tampines and Pasir Ris) can rejoice with the newly opened iSteaks (@isteaksdiner) at Tampines One. For $24, you can get a 250g NZ ribeye with two complimentary sides. The choices for the sides are aplenty, including mac & cheese, sautéed brussel sprouts, parmesan asparagus, creamed spinach, etc. The steak was nicely grilled, although my medium rare steak did tend to be borderline medium doneness.

They have also adopted the self-ordering system, where you scan a QR code and place your order and pay online. Many restaurants have adopted this system, saving on labour cost and time, but somehow after a while, I do feel that eating out at these places is no longer as exciting simply because there is no more interaction between the staff and customers. The platform interface for iSteak was also pretty confusing, so I was indeed a bit irritated at the start. They probably need to fine tune the ordering platform in time to come, but if you want a good, value for money steak anytime, head on to iSteaks.
