FOOD CRAVER: Crazy at BR, Serenity at Cafe Tornado

Crazy at BR, Serenity at Cafe Tornado

I woke up pretty late this afternoon around 2pm, I felt extremely hungry and wanted a big late lunch. My parent wanted burger, so we headed to Burgeroom for lunch.

BR - When we arrived BR, the place was full and packed with people waiting for seating. We thought we could wait at any table we wanted, but then a waiter came over, asked how many people we had, told us we have to wait a bit then left us standing there. We felt extremely lost as we didn't know whether there was a queuing system or not. We waited a bit and left as most people just started their meals and there were several groups before us waiting. BR, may be its time to improve a bit?

Anyway we decided to check the restaurants nearby. We went passed this decent looking cafe shop and decided to give it a try. The cafe decor was really nice and cosy. There were bookshelfs holding real books and magazines for customers and little decorations along the wall of the open kitchen. The environment was relaxing and comfortable.

The menu book was exquisite too. The menu and drink list were attached in the menu book just like those photo album. Every single book was handmade and thus looked special. As this is a cafe, they provided a wide range of drinks to chose from, yet the food choices were limited. Anyway, the decision was not that hard to make. (Note: the waitress who served us speaks English, I dunno if she could understand canton or not.)

Spaghetti with Mushroom, Garlic And Chilli

Mushroom and chilli are kind of my thing, so they are always at the top of the priority list when it comes to ordering. The Spaghetti was fettuccine topped with mushroom, garlics and peppers on a white sauce. The sauce was creamy and rich. It had a strong nice taste of garlic, apparently the garlics were being chopped tiny and fried well. The dish was also slightly spicy, yet the spiciness was not coming from the peppers, the peppers were actually fresh and sweet. The fettuccine was cooked al dente and was very smooth with the creamy sauce. Delicious dish I would say.

Bake Potato Shell with Bacon and Mozzarella

Potato skin is one of my favourite appetisers too. The baked potato skin Cafe Tornado offered had a crispy potato skin and a soft inside. The mozzarella cheese were totally melted on top of the baked potato skins with lots of bacon and onions bits. The potato skin tasted even better with the mayonnaise set at the side of the dish. The side salad was fresh and tasty too. The salad dressing was black vinegar sauce which was rich and smooth. The little baby tomato was fresh, sweet and was baked to give a slightly crispy skin too.

Ice Banana Latte

This Ice Banana Latte was today's special. I haven't really tried much varieties in coffee before, so I order this. It mainly contained the taste of milk, had a mild taste of coffee and had no banana taste at all. The Latte was actually not bad at all, it just did not have the taste of banana.
