Saturday weekend// date
The first half of the weekend was spent with Bf at Hot Tomato. Hot Tomato is a casual Western dining restaurant that specialises in grills, serves fresh seafood and delicious pasta. It wasn't my choice of choosing this cafe but since Bf hasn't tried their food, im like why not give it a try. Since then, my brother once recommended me to try out their pasta too.
It was crowded on a Saturday afternoon but thankfully we managed to get our seats but was situated near the entrance where there are a lot of disturbance and distraction.
What promotion they have on the menu that you may want to see?
If you are still a student, this is perfectly for you:
Student Lunch Special @ $9.50 nett. Weekdays only, 11.30 am - 5 pm. Free flow of ice lemon tea or lime juice with 1 main course (to choose from 5 options). For Primary, Secondary, JC, ITE and polytechnic students only.
Other than that:
Happy hours. Enjoy 20 % off your main course from 3- 5.30 pm (Mon- Fri). Exclude eve of public holidays and public holidays.
We all topped up our dishes into sets, with cost us an extra $3.50. They would add in their daily soup, garlic bread and drink.
Today’s soup was tomato soup. This was alright. It’s more on the watery side in western soup and it has a hint of pepper in it already, so there wasn’t a need to add more. The garlic bread is served beside it. In terms of portion size, both our set meals were just right. The tomato soup was served piping hot and it was flavourful, just the way I like the temperature of soups to be.
Bangers and Mash ($9.50)
Why do they call the sausage “Bangers” you ask?
The term banger is attributed to the fact that sausages, particularly the kind made during World War II under rationing, were made with water so they were more likely to explode under high heat if not cooked carefully; modern sausages do not have this attribute.
These relatively humble ingredients, combined in just this way, are transformed into something truly amazing. Definitely comfort food in the extreme! If you have never tried it, you’re missing out.
US pork chop with sausage at $11.50.
This picture was pretty much just eye candy. I have tasted the sausage and pork chop. They go well with the sauce but it would have been a lot better if the pork chop was softer.The spaghetti has its own flavour too but this definitely didn’t fill my Bf up.
On the whole, I think that Hot Tomato is a pretty worthwhile place to check out whether you’re on a date or just hanging with friends. The food is decent, portioned very well and most importantly, it is affordably priced. Very value for your money and it’s a place to consider other than Astons.
