uno beef house yesterday, my family went to try uno beef house, which was advertised in the life newspaper. It is part of a coffee shop in toa payoh and the reviews were really good, but to me, it was both good and bad. we waited more than an hour or so for our food to come, because they cook on the spot, so as not to let the food go stale. however, by the time the food came, i wasn't really hungry anymore. definitely not a place i would go for a takeaway. partially it's good, because u know everything's fresh, on the other hand, the waiting time's a bit ridiculous. seeing that the queue is so long, i think it's smarter to cook before the demand comes. anyway, when we got our food, we heard the neighbouring table said their food had to wait 2 hours. one of the most important thing to me is cleanliness and the place was filty. i took a picture of the 4 tiles right next to my chair and you can see toothpick, tissue, cockroach (which i just killed coz i hate them and it was running all around) and fly. the seating area's outside the coffee shop & for a public area, it was digusting, litter everywhere. there were also plenty of flies, which kept landing on the table. no to mention the mynahs and crows.  however the food was delicious (if you overlook the waiting time & surroundings). the tenderloin $10, ribeye $9 and fish & chips $5. the steak was served with their special fried mashed potato ball, which was creamy & buttery, i really savoured every bite. the beef was served on a hotplate and was very tender (the tenderloin was nicer than the ribeye), albeit a bit undercooked (i ordered medium). my sis ate the fish & chip (doesn't come with the mashed potato ball) and she liked it because the fish was really smooth. really good standard and u can not find good steak for $10 and under. we also ordered the soup, which tasted like campbell and costs $2, didn't really think it was worth it. somewhere i would go again, but definitely in between meals for shorter waiting time (we arrived about early 5). don't think i would go anytime soon, the cockroach, flies and birds are still fresh in my mind.
