Tasting Invite

Previously located in TANGS Basement One, The Mustard Incident has now expanded to become The Rockin’ Diner at 11 Club Street, serving up gourmet hot dogs, American diner favorites and imported artisan beer.

Owner Kelly Koh’s love for American food culture sparked off when he was studying in San Francisco. American diners, music and the American way had a special place in his heart, and that led him to bring a big part of his life home with him to Singapore. Kelly is a man with an appetite for big, meaty servings, and strongly believes in serving American food at The Rockin’ Diner that is as traditional and true to what one would get in the US.

Without knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised at the sight of the Spam Fries ($9.99) which were served piping hot. Crisp yet tender, these are definitely not the Ma Ling luncheon meat that you grew up eating. Very addictive!

Bacon wrapped enoki? Seen plenty. But Bacon Wrapped Fries ($12.99)? These were da bomb! Yes they are artery clogging but not that anyone from our table cared.

Because the hubs and I don’t take beef, Kelly recommended the Louisiana Fish Steak ($19.99). The grilled fish steak was firm and flaky. It was my first time tasting Creole Cajun sauce and it was piquant with a very slight hint of spiciness.

Little Italy’s Killa’ Lasagne ($15.99)

Prior to this, the only B.L.T that I have eaten is from Subway. It was my first and last time ordering it. The Rockin’ Diner’s B.L.T ($12.99) totally took me by surprise! Who would have thought that simple classic ingredients such as bacon, lettuce and tomatoes, piled on toasted white bread could taste soooo damn good! I reckon the secret lies in the sauce!

Currently, there are about 10 different types of hot dogs on The Rockin’ Diner menu. They have really adorable names (LOL) such as The Frankenstein, Bar-B-Dog and Hawt Dog. We tried the Green Lambton ($11.99) and I must say that if you are someone who loves your lamb or mutton, this is a MUST TRY. The lamb sausage was tender and had a slightly strong flavor, which is an acquired taste of course. For people who don’t eat beef, the lamb or mutton would be our next best alternative I guess. Topped with pesto and mint sauce, chopped green peppers, onions and relish, the Green Lambton certainly was one very satisfying hot dog.

This is the newest dog on the menu, and the last we heard, it doesn’t have a name yet. Veal sausage, topped with foie gras and drizzled with purple mustard sauce. Doesn’t it spell decadence!

Moving on, the Baby Back Ribs (half slab $19.99, full slab $24.99) is another dish that I would strongly recommend, especially for sharing with a group of friends! Seasoned with homemade BBQ sauce, these oven baked ribs were very juicy and fall-off-the-bone.

Traditional Tiramisu made interesting with layers of nutella in it. Whoever came up with this is a genius! Out of the two desserts that we had, the Nutella-misu ($6.99) was my preferred choice.

I only had a mouthful of the Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie because it was way too sweet and rich for me. However, the hubs was seen happily digging into this sinful dessert because he’s a huge fan of peanut butter.
