James Foo Western Food Review

If you are going to Mount Miriam Hospital using Evergreen road from Jalan Fettes at night time, you will always found that the junction will always pack with car and traffic jam. Why? It is because of James Foo Western Food restaurant. James Foo is famous for its western food, like grill chicken, grilled salmon, chicken Maryland and many more. The restaurant was located beside the Fatty Loh chicken rice at Tanjong Tokong.

The Environment

Back in the old days which is around 7 years ago, where I first tried it grilled chicken at small hawker stall at the corner hawker center. Later, they were forced to move to the shop lot along Jalan Fettes as the hawker center has been demolished and reconstructed with new commercial building.  In year 2011, they have moved back to the original hawker center location but with a new faces and a new commercial building. They fully owned the ground floor and renovated with air conditional. Overall the restaurant is well renovated to something similar to McD or Burger King style.

Dining place

The restaurant has great lighting and it come with a juice bar at the center of the restaurant. If you drop by James Foo western food during the weekend for dinner, you will always found that this restaurant is pack with customer. In other word, it will always be full house. Sometimes, the customer is force to wait at the main entrance while waiting to be served.

When you dine in the James Foo Western Food, you might have a concern that you will need to wait for 1 hour before the food comes! Your worry is not valid anymore.  You will be surprise that the food and drink will be serving within 20mins even though it is full house!
