Allright, this review has been overdue for quite sometime now, primarily because after my first experience here I was not too keen to come back here a second time, but I'm glad I did.
I'll admit I was still sceptical, but safe to say redemption was served. Ohh okay after that 2nd visit, I came back a 3rd time here just 2 days later.
I was sceptical because of the previous experience right at the beginning, well I had decided I won't write a review solely based on that because maybe it was a bad day in the kitchen, but I was going to give this place another chance, I just took some time to move past the first experience.
This time I had ordered
Batter Fried Mixed Seafood (Appetizer)
World's Best Garlic Bread (Side)
Spaghetti w Grilled Prawns & Creamy Pesto (Mains)
Batter Fried Mixed Seafood
A very good portion size in terms of the overall quantity and the seafood to vegetable proportion was pretty good too. The batter is light, crispy, spiced and seasoned just right to let you taste the Seafood or the Vegetables, that are cooked perfectly, with the Fish nice and flaky, and the Prawn has a bite to it, which works well with the Crunch from the batter, while the Vegetables still retain their natural crunch. So tasty on their own, honestly I could've gotten this without the dip and I would not have complained.
World's Best Garlic Bread
I haven't had Garlic Bread across the world, not yet, so I won't make that claim, but yeah pretty darn good Garlic Bread. Not too much Garlic, just enough Cheese, crunchy at the edges, soft and pillowy everywhere else, makes for a good accompaniment with any Pasta, or just by itself.
Spaghetti with Grilled Prawns & Creamy Pesto
Again portion size, pretty good. Pasta cooked well, a rich creamy sauce, the Pesto smells and tastes delicious, with the Basil clearly standing out, the perfectly cooked Prawns and then the Almond flakes give much needed texture to an otherwise very creamy dish. Overall very very tasty.
A day or later I was back here and tried the
Chilli Garlic Marinated Pan Seared Basa and Grilled Stuffed Chicken Roulade
both decent sized mains for one person.
Chilli Garlic Marinated Pan Seared Basa
I absolutely enjoyed this. The Fish, seasoned well, with the Chilli and Garlic making their presence felt every so slightly without overpowering the Fish, the Fish itself cooked beautifully, with a crispy crust on the outside a flaky white inside, a squeeze of Lime just before you dig in, lifts the whole thing up. The Creamy mashed Potatoes and the nearly Caramelized Vegetables make for very good sides to the Fish and the Chicken Roulade both.
Stuffed Chicken Roulade
This was absolutely wonderful, chicken cooked well, a delicious Mushroom stuffing, and that balsamic and red wine sauce that this comes with, sticky, sweet, sour, you cannot get enough o that sauce. And the sautéed Vegetables, some have this extra caramelized char on them, which is ridiculously tasty when you get that with a little bit of that delicious reduction I talked about .... ! Darn Good Stuff ... !!
Overall a very good experience, the staff is very polite, courteous and helpful, the food is brilliant.
I shall be coming here soon ... !
It was a 4 earlier on, after multiple visits here, it's safe to say this place warrants a 5 ... !
Consistently have been having good experiences here ..!!
