So, we stopped by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel.php?travel_id=7314&amp;travel_site=90500\" target=\"_blank\">Rivervall Mall<\/a> and checked out the breakfast sets at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longjohnsilvers.com.sg\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Long John Silver\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The prices for the breakfast sets were similarly priced to the offerings at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcdonalds.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mcdonald\u2019s<\/a> &#8211; around $5ish, but the variety couldn\u2019t 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcdonalds.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mcdonald\u2019s<\/a> includes for most of their breakfast sets, but LJ\u2019s version seemed less tasty but less oily at the same time too. Finally, the cup of beverage &#8211; tea in my case &#8211; was smaller in volume, but fresh milk was supplied, which made a huge difference in taste.<\/p>\n<p>So, on the overall, mixed feelings. Food wise, I\u2019ll say it\u2019s slightly more sumptuous than McD\u2019s for equivalent prices. Then again, you get a freeflow of morning beverages, and &#8211; depending on outlet &#8211; the weekend papers too.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Food: 7.5 \/ 10<\/li>\n<li>Value: 3.5 \/ 5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overall: 3.7 \/ 5. Good enough to give McD\u2019s a run for the money.
