Breakfast at LJS

Breakfast @ Long John Silver’s

dining-154.jpgEven though the both of us are big fans of the Hotcake breakfast sets at Mcdonald’s, we decided a change was in order after morning service at Wesley last Sunday. So, we stopped by Rivervall Mall and checked out the breakfast sets at Long John Silver’s.

The prices for the breakfast sets were similarly priced to the offerings at Mcdonald’s – around $5ish, but the variety couldn’t be more different. LJS offers toast-based sets, and they certainly looked quite tempting. I chose the Chicken sausage set, and for $5.50, I got a two thick slices of bread with scrambled egg and a very yummy slice of chicken sausage sandwiched in between. There was a hashbrown too, similar to what Mcdonald’s includes for most of their breakfast sets, but LJ’s version seemed less tasty but less oily at the same time too. Finally, the cup of beverage – tea in my case – was smaller in volume, but fresh milk was supplied, which made a huge difference in taste.

So, on the overall, mixed feelings. Food wise, I’ll say it’s slightly more sumptuous than McD’s for equivalent prices. Then again, you get a freeflow of morning beverages, and – depending on outlet – the weekend papers too.

  • Food: 7.5 / 10
  • Value: 3.5 / 5
  • Overall: 3.7 / 5. Good enough to give McD’s a run for the money. Too bad LJS’ presence in Singapore isn’t nearly as prolific as Mcdonald’s.
