Located in an ordinary coffee shop in Bishan street 24, the place is quite easy to find just that it's not very car friendly. It's so difficult to find a parking lot and when you eventually find the multi storey car park, you have to drive all the way to the 4-5 levels before you find an hourly parking lot. Anyway, Crazy Ang Mo is the biggest stall in the coffee shop, one reason you can't missed it once you reach. It's decorated all yellow with plenty of group photographs (all of whom I don't even know) and plenty of kangeroos. For a moment, I thought maybe the stall would sell kangeroo meat dishes, but my high hopes meant with disappointment. Anyway, the stall is quite similar to Botak Jones, they have a number tag system plus a PA system if you didn't come for your food. Only difference is the quality of the food and it doesn't have a estimated time you have to wait. So here's the two dishes that was ordered...

Fish and Chips
Ordered by NLL Glutton companion. The fish was big, too much flour for the liking and portions were pretty okay. Was really looking forward to an Australian serving, or something comparable to Botak Jones. But the serving was kinda disappointing, the fries was too little, the salad was... unique but still too little. The fried fish came with some elevated dots which didn't look nice. Most probably due to the cook's negligience. Promoted as the Best selling item, it wasn't really what I expected from those words.
Price: S$6.50

Aussie Steak
Before you make any comments, no, I didn't take this picture after I started eating. This IS the serving that I got. It's totally different from the picture on the stall itself. The Aussie steak was displayed as a thick piece of juicy meat with the bold red words below that says "Air flown quality" (or something like that, can't remember), it's just too misleading. Maybe the juice evaporated away while it was on the way to Singapore? Anyway, the person at the counter didn't even ask how I want the steak done. I mean, isn't it standard to ask such questions? Well, for the fact that the stall is in a coffee shop, I can excuse this I suppose. Yup, I did ask the person at the counter whether I have the option of how well my steak can be done. It was medium rare, or rather, it was supposed to be. The steak wasn't really thick enough to be evenly medium rare. Placing that small lump of butter on top of the steak was quite a mistake. I spread the entire lump over the steak, and the steak became too salty. It was as juicy as expected from the display. Maybe steak was the wrong choice to order from the stall?
Price: $13.90

However, judging from the price, it can be forgiven that Crazy Ang Mo really can't match the liking of the franchise Botak Jones. Or maybe I ordered the wrong thing? I might give it another try, might just try the Crazy burger that they recommend next time. Hopefully I can come up with a better review than this to save Crazy Ang Mo. But as of now, go for Botak Jones and only try Crazy Ang Mo if you're hard for cash.
