Joined her and Sis for dinner, no-frills western & nepalese food.
According to mum, the chef Tom previously worked for The Vines Restaurant before deciding to venture out on his own. Being a Nepalese, he also included a couple of authentic Nepalese dishes apart from the range of seafood & steak selections.
I opted for a set at just $2.80 more, with a soup drink and dessert.
Complimentary Garlic Bread
Served automatically, one for each diner. These slabs with perfected toasting results in cripsy edges and a soft centre of the right amount of garlic spread. Certainly one of the best i've tasted.
Cream of Chicken & Cauliflower Soup
The homecooked thickness was there and had shreds of chicken. Passable i feel, but still lacked the quality kick.
Mum's value grilled fish was a steal at $5.
Grilled Fish ($5)
Cajun Salmon ($10.50)
Yet another fanciful butterfly cut with the skins folded (think Cedele), just slightly more elongated. The salmon did take me by surprise, probably due to my lower expectations of a Heartland cafe.
Although no obvious cajun flavour, it was still reasonably tasty and well-going with the red & white carrot accompaniments. Those potato slices were also the yummiyest ever! Only let down was the odd spicyness from the mango salsa topping.
Grilled Chicken & Salmon Combo ($10.80)
Chocolate Cheese Loaf
My set ended with a tea and day's dessert which sis refused to go any further with after her first bite. A mediocre piece of dry choc cake with a savoury cheesy twist at its base.
Dishes are mostly true to its value, especially with no service charge or GST. So skip the ERP and head down to the heartlands whenever a western crave strikes.
