POST-CONCERT EATS: JOJI'S DELI @ UPPER SERANGOON ROAD



It's after a concert and it's getting late. Where do you get a bite? If you are heading in the direction of Serangoon, there is a pair of late-night places, Joji's Deli and Joji's Diner which are exactly next to each other on the eastern side of Upper Serangoon Road. Both are modelled on the classic American deli and diner, but since nobody's going to No.45/47's dystopian US of A, one can be satisfied by just imagining being there.


The last evening of the Piano Festival has just concluded, and so we pianophiles so happen to go to Joji's Diner. The decor and memorabilia is exactly out of those US sports bars, except there are no blaring televisions and people watching the NBA, NFL, MLS or whatever. It's still very atmospheric. This is what "Oddjob" Nick Loh and "Auric" Pianomaniac ordered. The portions are fair, prices are reasonable and food quite delicious. Next time, we'll try the diner.

Fried calamari (not just rings).
