[CLOSED] Hot Tomato (313@Somerset)

Juicy garlic shrimp with half baby chicken served with corn on the cob, fries and olive rice.
Extremely filling meal.

Price:$12.90

Hot tomato serving freshing tomato soup. Definitely not those instant type, this tomato soup indeed comes with certain standard. The garlic bread was quite average though

Mango Salsa Salmon with pasta and salad, $12.50++ - the sauce was nice and it's good deal

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".

Lamb was a bit overcooked-which caused it to be tough
Salad is nice with the vinaigrette😍
Spaghetti was on point
It's a bit stingy on the sauce
But overall, compared to the price, the meal is worth it😁😊

What's on the plate ?
- baked fish🐟 - cherry tomatoes🍅 ( halved )
- greens🌿 ( Cabbages )
- lemon🍋 ( for the fish )
- olive rice🍚 The fish🐟 turns out to be quite delicious😍 & fantastic👍 which was over what I expected.
On the other hand, the rice🍚 taste awesome👌🏼 but the presentation wise was quite disappointing😔 [as compared to the one at ' JEM ' ( if I'm not wrong ) ]. Rate: 3.9⭐️ / 5 stars⭐️ Bored of just simply baked fish ?!?!?😒 Why not have this instead ?!?😍
