It's what we call a complete lunch-starts with a soup, followed by main course and dessert.Lunch sets are good treat, a bargainning price, $88 plus 10% service charge.My friend and I arrived after 2, shunning the busy office lunch hour, so environment is so much easier and quieter.A relaxing mood prevades there, with jazz music and dim lights on.The soup of the day was mushroom soup. It wasn't a surprise but it's not bad. If you think a soup is too much for a lunch, you may opt for salad.I chose
Lunch sets are good treat, a bargainning price, $88 plus 10% service charge.
My friend and I arrived after 2, shunning the busy office lunch hour, so environment is so much easier and quieter.
A relaxing mood prevades there, with jazz music and dim lights on.
The soup of the day was mushroom soup. It wasn't a surprise but it's not bad. If you think a soup is too much for a lunch, you may opt for salad.
I chose fish fillet and my friend ordered pizza-one of the signature dishes at the shop together with pasta.
The fish is a real delight. Exquisitely served, tasty and generous in portion. It comes with a sour sauce; and side dishes include mash potato, sweet potato, baked carrot, peppers and asparagus. I recommend this dish.
My friend ordered pizza of the day, which was pepperoni. Not bad but the fish is better.
Dessert is chocolate fudge with icecream. Freshly baked, it was still warm when served on table. Sweet and rich in chocolate. Though I'm not a chocolate freak, and more often then not I think chocolate was too sweet for me, it was afterall a great thing to finish a meal.
It was a great place to spend time and have a chat with a friend.
Staff are friendly.
But do come before 3pm, they are official closed from 3 -6 pm.
I think the one bad thing about the meal is, you will get really full and content and drowsiness will hit right after the meal-considering having just had a high-carbo dessert. My friend and I were so sleepy that we gave up our afternoon plan and went stright home for a nap.
Btw, the name of the shop, Al Dente, Italian, means pasta cooked to the degree firm to bite. Will try out their pasta next time.
