We tried the Al Funghi spaghetti set and the Lamb Chops set.
Both sets were upgraded to include an extra Cream of Mushroom soup and garlic bread for an extra $1.50 each.
The upgraded Al Funghi set came with a free side - I chose mashed potato.
The Lamb Chops came with a choice of two sides - in this case, salad and mashed potato.
There was also a choice of gravy - black pepper sauce in this case.
The spaghetti was average - it was a little too creamy and cheesy.
The mushroom pieces were cooked just right, but, somehow, something was missing from the taste. The homemade Cream of Mushroom soup was good! It was not too creamy and contained many tiny chunks of diced mushroom. The flavour was great and the mushroom soup deserved the thumbs up! However, the garlic toast that came with the soup was quite the opposite! It was too soft and too bland in taste.
The Lamb Chops were okay. They were well done - just as we had asked - but the marination was not as perfect. The black pepper gravy added to the taste, but only just.
The mint lime dip on the side was just ok, mainly because the mint flavour was deeply weakened by the lime. The mint should have been stronger, and this would have gone very well with the lamb.
Mashed potato is always my favourite, but this free portion was a bit too much.
After eating half of it, I had to stop. The gravy was little too thick and the mashed potato was too soft.
The Food Junction needs some sprucing up to provide a more conducive environment for dining.
Overall it was good value for money, but tastewise, it could have been better.
Perhaps the next time I will avoid the mashed potato and try some other dish on the menu.
