The Round $9.50
I have been learning to appreciate various types of sausages since I blogged about Butcher House and I thought that it would be great if these gourmet sausages could be available perfectly grilled and ready to eat. Luckily, I know a guy by the name of Aston who just happens to run a restaurant.
Aston is always looking for new stuff to wow his customers. As always, he offers quality stuff at really competitive prices. These Butcher House sausages are not your normal everyday sausages which use all the leftover meats, innards and gristle that have fallen onto the floor of the butchery. These are sausages that have been made with quality cuts of meats and have limited preservatives since they are made fresh at the factory everyday.
The Grand Sampler $12.50 From top: Kielbasa, Chicken n Cheese, Bratwurst and Snail
The Grand Sampler is just what it is, a sampler of 4 different kinds of sausages which is great as a side dish if you are dining with several friends. The Chicken and Cheese is made from seasoned chicken thigh meat and Gouda Cheese and is really juicy and savoury. The melted Gouda sets this Chicken and Cheese apart from others that I have tasted 4.5/5
The other sausage that was really good was the Kielbasa, which is a smoked Polish sausage made from roughly chopped pork and beef with majoram, mixed spices and lots of garlic. 4.25/5 You probably have seen the Snail sausage before at Marche. It is a pork sausage that has lots of italian herbs. 4/5
Last of the sampler is the Pork Bratwurst (Brat - finely chopped, Wurst - Sausage) which is a German sausage made from chopped pork and spices. This one was good but we thought that perhaps it would be nice to offer something a little more different from the Snail. So tomorrow onwards it will be replaced by a Spicy Italian Sausage.
Conclusion
If you are a sausage lover, I think you will agree that Astons has pulled off yet another value for money deal. The great thing is that the alliance between Astons and Butcher House means that they are going to rotate through the almost 50 different flavours of sausages that the Butcher House produces. The Butcher House is also able to custom make boutique sausages for its customers. Who knows? One day they might even do a Uniquely Singaporean Super Duper Die Die Must Try Sausage. Any suggestions, anyone?

Will try the new sausage at Aston. I find the sausage at Butcher a little too fine, so much so,it has a paste texture, rather than have a "bite" texture. Taste wise, would like it too be a bit more herby and spicy. Still looking for a satisfying one.
heya, ieat =D
i've been a faithful reader of your blog for so long. thanks for the introduction to Aston's!
anyway, Aston's Specialties blogspot address should be astonsspecialties.blogspot.com/ and not astonspecialties.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the intro, its kind of far for me (i live in the west)
haha. anyway if there is a chance, will go. Aston onli sell sausages?
There are several blogs on Aston if you look under the Western label. If you want to buy the sausages to cook yourself, Butcher House is at River Valley just opposite Valley Point
ooo I love love love love sausages, thanks for the info. Was lamenting about butchers house being too far from the east and now I can have it at my usual western food stop, Astons.
wow ieat keeps posting about Aston, his business is so good, always long queues. I have yet to get a seat in his eatery! I can't stand waiting in long queues in the hot sun la.
ieat, can book a table through your connection or not? hahaha....
Gourmet sausages at Aston's? Cool. Thanks for tip-off. I'll sure be making a (sausage) trip down soon.
We have been going back to Astons for the past 4 weeks. Yeah, we love Astons. Last night we tried the sausages. In order of our preference; Chicken and Cheese, Kielbasa, snail and Pork Bratwurst, which is same as you too. My husband thought that the price is a bit steep for sausages only. Well, he was comparing to his order of crispy fried chicken which was excellent.
Hope to try the ieat super burger soon!
been a long time since i've visited astons, maybe its time i went down again.
the grand sampler is nice but not memorable. the steaks at aston are better.
this may sound wierd ieat...but a mutton/chicken briyani sausage with masala curry gravy? ; )
hey ieat, i've been down to Astons' this Tuesday and i was told that the Grand Sampler was not available! How disappointing... :( Had to settle with chicken and sausage in the end which wasn't unique and special in any way.
Have tried the grand sampler.....it was not on the menu....The sausages are not bad..... but i like the other dishes............ Recommended....... Go during weekdays...The wait can be less agonizing.....LOL
no wonder i can't find it on the menu. so you have to ask the waiter/waitress for it? is it at astons or astons prime?
