If a restaurant can keep me going back more than twice, it is definitely of a certain standard and also pretty affordable (for a budget eater like me). Hot Tomato has both of these characteristics and thus, it has seen me going back for more at their various outlets.I Love Upgrades: Add $2.50++ to any main course during lunch (1130 - 1500 weekdays) or $3.50++ to any main course (1500 - 2230 weekdays; 1100 - 2230 weekends) to getMain Course + Soup of the Day + Garlic Bread + Drink + Cake (Top up
Main Course + Soup of the Day + Garlic Bread + Drink + Cake (Top up of further $2.50++)
Soup of the Day (Tomato Soup): Sufficiently thick and on the sweet side, this tomato soup meets my basic expectations and could do better by being a few notches warmer. I would think that the upgrade is only worth it if you don't have your own water bottle and/or if you're feeling extra hungry. The Ice Lemon Tea was forgettable. Garlic Prawn with Cherry Tomato ($11.50++): Recently, I fell in love with tiger prawns and was on an active hunt for them and pasta. This one doesn't disappoint, except for the fact that the portion is a little small. The prawns are sweet and delicious, but could be a bit more juicy though. I'm hard to please, eh. The cherry tomatoes are lovely sources of moisture - otherwise there would be a mild risk of being too dry a dish. The linguine was cooked al dente, overall taste verdict for this dish is a thumbs up.
Service was polite and efficient, dishes were served within ten minutes of ordering.
