So today I came to Cafe Key West for lunch. It was my first time in isquare, and she told me that this was a nice place with good food, so I thought, why not. I thought that isquare was surprisingly quiet for a mall situated in such a crowded location, despite the fact that it was a weekday. The cafe was quite empty when we arrived so there was no need to wait for a table. Since me and my friend don't eat meat but eat fish and seafood, we decided to order the only two things we could eat on the
Since me and my friend don't eat meat but eat fish and seafood, we decided to order the only two things we could eat on the set lunch menu and share it : an octopus spaghetti with some sort of Japanese sauce and linguini with clams and mushrooms. At $56 and $58 respectively, with a soup and coffee or tea. There was also complimentary water, with waiters who actually remembered to refill your water regularly which was good
The soup arrived with a croissant. It was some sort of vegetable soup - not my favourite, but it wasn't too bad, I finished it. However, I must say the croissant was atrocious! It tasted like a stale croissant, maybe I am accustomed to the delicious croissants I eat in cafes in Paris, but it was horrible. The pastry wasn't nice and flaky or crispy, it was hard, dry, and didn't have that delicious aroma. So I had to dunk it in my soup to make it taste a little more edible.
Then the pastas arrived. The octopus spaghetti I found a little sweet, and I mean a little very sweet. The sauce was some sort of fusion Japanese style thing, and it wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. The pasta wasn't overcooked (thank god) and I thought that the capsicums and onions in the pasta were very sweet which was good. There was also these strange orange strands of something on top of it as garnish, but I wasn't too sure what it was. It reminded me of shrimp antenna thingys. I thought the presentation was nice though.
The clam and mushroom linguini, on the other hand, I really liked. I thought it was delicious. The spaghetti itself lacked a little taste, but eaten with mushrooms or clams it was fine. The clams were full of flavour, however there were only 6 in the whole plate. There was also some greenish with it, I think it was garlic and pesto? It did give it an extra kick. True, it is very unitalian (Italian speaking! Definitely completely different from the traditional Spaghetti con Vongole) however I liked it. The linguini was cooked al dente, which is just the way it was supposed to be, however the dish lacked presentation and was just, quite simply, a plate of linguini.
I was expecting some horrid tasting coffee, but I was shocked to taste decent coffee. With the creamer, it tasted very good, I was AMAZED as I was expecting instant coffee. It was a great way to end the meal.
