LAD & DAD Review




A newly opened stall at the already popular Serangoon Garden Market and Food Centre, LAD & DAD offer westernize stew at a cheaper price which the public can get a chance to taste.


Lancashire Hotpot Set Beef ($12) - The beef stew can be order at ala carte at $8 or a set at $12 which come with garden salad, mashed potato and Yorkshire Pudding. If you prefer something more filling, you can change the pudding to rice. 



The stew contain more meat than i expected. Served with bits of carrots and potatoes, both goes well with the stew. I loved how tender the beef chunks are, soft and yet well marinated. I am really surprise by the tenderness of the meat which quite hard to find in local food centre. Alternative, if you do not like beef, there are mutton stew available too!! 




Yorkshire Pudding - It was served hot and crispy. The texture is more like a breaded egg roll, crispy on the outside while remaining moist and soft on the inside. Either you can tear it up and dip into your stew or you can just simply pour some of the stew on top of the pudding and eat it. 



Verdict: 4 / 5

Really a must try food if you happen to be at the food centre. I totally love the stew which packed with lots of beef chunks. The stew gravy can be pour on the mashed potatoes for extra flavour too. It really satisfied my appetite and worth the deal.
