In N Out Cafe BigBox

Went to Big Box at Jurong East to eat! Saw a pamphlet showing the newly opened "In N Out Cafe" by big box. The best thing is their one for one set meal!!!

We were initially quite dubious about the promotion...hmmm will the serving for the 1-for-1 promotion be very small????

We went into the cafe and it was sort of a open style cafe. Surprisingly when we arrived, we saw the tables and chairs and they were sort of like home furniture style. Our guess is that Big Box wanted to feature their furniture, as BigBox sells furniture on their 2nd and 3rd floor too. We settled down and quickly went to order our meals!








The gian peng (cheapskate) us decided to go for the most expensive set. We ordered both wild caught salmon sets  (each set includes a main, salad/soup of the day and dessert). One California Cobb salad( greens with egg, chicken breast and bits of bacon), one onion soup, and two set of desserts which consist of a cream cake and 2 apple strudel of which all are bite size. 


We were surprised by the size of the meal. It was quite large considering how expensive salmon was. The cut was very thick, definitely worth for money. The hollandaise sauce was not bad too except that it was a bit too little. In the end, when we ate the mash potato it was quite tasteless without any sauce or gravy. The soup was more of a standard taste where we can get anywhere and the bread was abit hard. However the taste of the dessert was above average (at least to me ><). Oh also the salad I must say if you don't know what Cobb salad is, better Google before you order cos it is abit too sour for guys liking hahaha, but the salad serving is really quite a lot for an appetizer tbh i have seen girls eating the salad this size just for a meal only.

The best part is ........it only cost us SGD$9.80 NETT!!!!!!!! for 2 sets hahahah omg super cheap! Average out to $5 each hahaha.



Since its cheap we decided to recommend it to our friends hahaha. However, one of our friend cannot make it hence we went there in threes. Still we ordered 4 sets ( since its 1 for 1) we decided we can share and have more variety.



Our friend ordered the salmon set on recommendation while we ordered Italian Meatballs & Penne in Red Sauce ( just meatballs and pasta hahaha ), Rooster Jokes and an additional order of the Rhino Mushroom Lasagna ( 100% vegetarian). I shall not talk about the salads as only the dressing changed and the soup is like ready made pumpkin soup. The dessert this time changed to sesame cake, taro+banana cake and cream cake.

The Italian Meatballs & Penne in Red Sauce was one of the more disappointing dishes we had. The meatballs were still okay as we could feel the texture of the meat and the Q-ness of the meat. However the disappointing one was the pasta it was like under cooked very hard and stale. The sauce is just normal spaghetti red sauce.

The Rooster Jokes was surprisingly nice. It was half a spring chicken and the size was quite big. Just by looks you will think that the chicken is very dry however our first bite into in it is surprisingly juicy and the skin tasted absolutely fragrant. This is one of the dishes we definitely recommend.

The Rhino Mushroom Lasagna ( 100% vegetarian) taste well too! even though the red sauce on it tasted like the one on the Penne the lasagna tasted very nice. The mushroom taste was significant and chewy the cheese tasted and smell nice too.

Overall, In and Out Cafe is quite a nice place to dine in and the food is worth for price. However, we would not recommend the Italian Meatballs & Penne in Red Sauce. 

Remember the promotion last only in the period of July and don't worry about the coupons as they will be giving out right at the entrance of 2nd floor of big box.
