I was excited to ride the Flyer for the first time. Having read about new eateries mushrooming there, we decided to try one of them out.
Jalapeno's sounded Tex Mex and rather different, so we went right in

The decor was contemporary. Modern and pleasing to the eye.

THe food was supposed to feature Jalapeno Peppers inside but I think the taste got washed out a little too much. From what i recall of Jalapeno peppers, it should pack a punch - spicy, sour and sweet...but i felt the taste was not drawn out enough in their food.

I must really punch the management for NOT serving tap water. It's like what's wrong with our NEW WATER? Situated in what is supposed to be a Singapore Icon, I think New Water should be featured on the menu. It's not even a posh restaurant, for God's sakes. This place looks like a fast food joint! I feel it's criminal to make anyone pay for drinking water.

Food is the usual boring old western stuff - steak, ribs, burgers, salads. Hello? Anyone with fresh ideas? Are Singaporeans such real suckers for this stuff?

I had the baby back rib salad. I must say the ribs tasted like there was a lot of promise in them, but I wish they would be a little more generous with the serving of meat so that I can confirm my assessment more emphatically. Salad came with a dish of dressing. I'm not sure if the dressing was for that little piece of meat or the vegetables coz it looked only enough to paint over the meat.

The Stud had the Blackened Burger. Yeah, he digs anything that's CHARRED. The meat patty was really black! The patty was herby, like there was a pound of oregano inside. Hmmm. I felt it interfered with the taste of the meat too much. Good attempt but to survive in the burger jungle out there, this ain't gonna make it.

To count our blessings, the view of the ECP/ Benjamin Sheares bridge and the Singapore skyline over Marina Bay was enticing.
