Hoshino Spaghetti

Hoshino Spaghetti

 
Hoshino Spaghetti is the bomb mad

Aglio olio styled, but please remember to toss it real well before digging greedily into the pasta. Served warmly fragrant, and look at that egg shocked

Also included will be the not too oily bacon steaks, soft tomatoes, juicy shimeji mushrooms and plenty of spinach leaves.

Crispy duck with a twist Smile Dec 14, 2013

Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Hotel | Dim Sum | Seafood

The interior decor set in ancient china era. I like it very much!! (ps: I used to suspect I was born in a wrong century). The service was acceptable. not as attentive as would be ideal but generally polite and well groomed staff. This dish i had here was delectable. by default, i enjoy duck meat. memories of the thin crispy skin still make me drool mad And the glutinous rice was rather fragrant.

Food to comfort me OK Dec 12, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Ramen

lol They served gyozas in soup here.. very good comfort food! With the rainy cold weather now, hot soup is the best warmer for my after work physical state. Here, the broth was rich and fragrant but a bit salty for me. Oh! I like it that the serving had lots of bean sprouts too.  

If you are having a main dish, then this soup can be shared between two pax IMO. I also like the several condiments laid out on my table. i hv a mild fetish for trying diff condiments on food mad

The staff here were generally young, polite and helpful. however they are very busy so you do need to voice out if you want assistance.

Creamy Crab

Creamy Crab

 
My fave dish for this session!! mad

The salted egg yolk sauce is finger licking good and goes surprisingly well with the fried buns. Of coz, crabs were sweet and juicy too.
Red Grouper Steamboat

Red Grouper Steamboat

 
Hmm.. this soup is filled with the usual for fish steamboat - yam, cabbage, green veggies and seaweed. they were rather generous with the portion though. Fish meat was fresh too.
Lotus Roots with Macadamia

Lotus Roots with Macadamia

 
According to the owner Mr Kovan, this dish is exclusive to his store. In all, a crunchy combi of sliced lotus root, carrot, French peas, macademia nuts, celery and mushroom. Good if you have a tendency for lighter food (on the waistline as well!)
Salted Egg Yolk Prawn

Salted Egg Yolk Prawn

 
This dish uses the same sauce as the yummy crabs.. so needless to say, another must try here!! The sauce is thick and prawn was big and fresh.

Buffet for lunch OK Dec 06, 2013

I have no idea why the photos are not upright if you asked me. They are upright on my computer and in the device i took them with.

Anyways, OpenRice had very kindly awarded me the prize to sample lunch at Carnivore Appetite lol

Alas, it was a rainy afternoon and i could not explore their alfresco section.

The fish kebab was not bad. Grilled to perfection and had sweet fragrance of seafood goodness. Do try the chicken kebab (picture 1) too. There are also lamb and beef meat available at the live grilling section. This is the only area whereby a chef is always present to serve you your desired food order.

Personally did not enjoy the topshell (picture 2). But then again, taste is to the individual.

There is a huge salad bar section right next to the entrance (picture 3). if you are into greens, you should enjoy yourself here.

Service staff were generally helpful and polite.

For the interior decoration, i actually quite liked it. It was rather spacious and furniture used were colourful. Gives a lively feel to the entire place, in contrast to the cold cold weather outside.

There is a bar at the back of the restaurant (picture 4), which is also next to the doorway to their alfresco seating area.
