How much does a set lunch that includes soup, a really filling main, a drink plus coffee/tea cost these days? I entered Hot Tomato after running some errands, saw that they offered the above set lunch combi at about $20 or even less depending on ur mains, and lowered my expectations to almost zero thinking the food will be 'meh'. My first surprise came with the minestrone soup that didn't seemed like canned soup, and was honestly appetising! I was also taken aback when the mains were served because the mix grill not only came in thick succulent cuts of pork, chicken and a sausage, but also had a bed of spaghetti aglio olio. The pasta may have been overcooked, but easily forgivable given the price tag plus the juicy satiating meats. This place may not be gourmet dining, but they definitely execute their intention to offer "great tasting" meals at "friendly prices".
