On 16th July 2011, the dance babes met up for monthly dinner gathering. This time the venue was at The Jackson Plan. Located at 40 duxton hill, this British-styled gastropub is a perfect place where you go for good food that delivers strong flavours yet with simple preparation.The Jackson Plan, in fact, is named after Lieutenant Philip Jackson, an engineer who drew up Singapore's first city plan in 1822, dividing it into four areas - Chinatown, Chulia (now known as Little India), Kampong Glam and the Eurasian quarter.

Crusty Bread and butter - $3.50
Scotch Duck Egg, Pea Salad (S$15.50). For me this is the first time I have seen scotch duck egg. We have duck confit instead of sausage meat encasing the egg. Something unique. Nice. We even liked the dressing on the pea salad.
My portion of the scotch duck egg - delicious
Fisherman's Pie @ $25.50I can't imagine having this dish all by myself. Thankfully there were four of us to share this dish. Cheesy, we have salmon in there. Somehow we all felt this dish lacked something - like pepper, as it had a strong fishy smell. The chef actually came to our table and explained how the dish was cooked
Berkshire Pork Cheek, Braised in Cider - 23.50
Berkshire Pork Cheek, Braised in Cider - 23.50 This has to be my favourite dish of the evening. The pork cheek is tender and mixed with the mash green pea and mash potato, one can't help tasting for more. Cooked to perfection this is a dish worth ordering.
Smooth and Tender Pork Cheek- Thumbs up
Eccles Cakes, with rum and raisin ice cream (S$10.50). We didn't taste much rum in this ice-creamthan. The "cake" is like a Caramelised raisin pastry, the "cakes" can be a little too dry and sweet on its own. Yet it is perfect when is is tasted with the ice cream.
Farquhar Mess, Mango and Gula Melaka (S$11.50). In a way, this dish is a cheeky reference to the haphazard town-planning situation Jackson inherited from the former governor William Farquhar. This is more of a fun dessert, with lots of whipped cream. There are several pieces of meringue and gula-melaka coated mango slices at the bottom.
Our Desserts of the evening.
The Jackson Plan is a nice place to chill out with friends. There is a bright yellow-themed bar section as well as a breezy patio for al fresco dining and drinking. We enjoyed dinner there.

Our Desserts of the evening.In total our bill came up to $105.93. Slightly expensive for 2 main courses, 2 desserts and 2 starters. However if one wants to experience great british food in gorgeous Singapore setting, this is the place to be on a Saturday night.
