'Grilled Kurobuta Pork Loin w/
Apple & Honey Sauce' is the most expensive lunch set today. As
implied from the name, it is black pork. In such quality, one piece
should be priced at or more than $45 in Citysuper. There is a nice
fragrance of pork (this flavor is not available in those pork meat we
normally consume daily). Yes, nice flavor of pork. Pork texture is of
medium softness. There is a small layer of fat in between loins.
Together with apple sauce on the top and the yellow pumpkin paste, pork
flavor can be further enhanced.
Breads are freshly baked in the restaurant. They are still warm when served to us, and you may request to have extra loaves.
Mussel
Soup is clear in taste. It is not creamy and fresh mussel flavor is
prominent. Herb flavor is not strong and has not covered that of mussel.
Swiss
Onion Soup is creamy as shown from its appearance. There are
significant amount of shredded onion It is a delectable and nutritive
soup.
'Chili Tomato Sauce & Volka w/ Penne' is served in a
bowl of artistic shape. This penne is a vegetarian dish. It is a bit
spicy but there is no trace of volka in my experience. The taste is
prepared in high quality. A pity is that penne texture is not al dente
and should have been over-cooked a bit. Overall is still good.
'3-
layered Chocolate Cake' is of size 1 x 2 inches. The middle layer is
soft chocolate (but not dark chocolate). The bottom larger portion is
chocolate cake, which is of reasonable softness. The cake is not too
sweet. If you like chocolate, you must like this cake. Apart from this,
there is no other option.
We order set coffee, which is of
average quality only. Coffee is not dense enough, surplus water should
have been added in the process of distillation. It can be better anyway.
But it is already very good, if we do not set the standard at too high
level.
