My friends met on Monday for dinner and one of us proposed this Applegreen. Though later we realized this is not a vegetarian restaurant, we agreed to give a try. Applegreen was with a clean design both in the interior and on their menu. Having that said, they still offer a wild variety of food. The ingredients they selected were higher than Spaghetti House or Pizza Hut. It’s an eatery welcome by younger generation with a relaxed budget.
For service-wise, the staff were efficient and with no doubt that training was given, but they were a couple of staff that executed according to the required manner but one could easily sensed the urge and robotic behavior.
a) Guacamole Made-to-Order 鮮製牛油果梨醬、墨西哥脆片($88) – 8/10 This typical and popular salsa is made of minced avocado and herbs. However, the so-called tortilla chips looked and tasted more like those crispy chips for the Chinese snake soup. Any, the sauce was creamy though lacking a tad of salt.
b) Ham Flatbread 美式烤薄餅 ($142) – 8.5/10 I doubted I was having an American flatbread as its named. The pastry base was more like a cracker than bread or pizza. Anyway, it was a delicious savoury dish that one wouldn’t have difficulty in finish half if not the whole of it, especially with layers of parma ham, honey dew melon and parmesan cheese on it.
c) Seasonal Chef’s Selection Salad Cart 自選沙律 ($158) – 8.5/10
After we ordered the selection salad, the waitress handed us an order form with dozens of choices including meats on the list. We could select all but surely the overall size of the salad bowl would still be the same. The greens were fresh and the salad dressing was just right.
d) Grilled Sausage Platter 烤肉腸拼盤 ($138) – 8/10 It was a dish with selection of 4 sausages and served with mashed potato and slow roasted garlic. I like those pork sausages filled with herbs inside.
e) Spicy Citrus Chicken Wings 甜辣柚子雞翼 ($70) – 7.5/10
This seemed to be a variant from the Japanese dish with the teriyaki sauce been replaced by sweet and spicy citrus sauce. The chicken wings were first deep fried to make their skin crispy, however, welcome by the diners.
f) Sesame Orange Chicken Salad 加州棒棒雞沙律、芝麻薑汁 ($108) – 8/10 This is a mixture of sliced chicken breast, lettuce, green onion, carrot tossed with sesame ginger dressing and topped with deep fried wonton sheets and rice vermicelli. Likely it is more welcome by kids than adults.
g) Paprika Spring Chicken 乾紅椒烤春雞、燒粟米 ($148) – 8/10 The chicken was oven baked and the meat was moist and tender. The seasoning of paprika could be more intense.
h) Grilled US Corn-fed Pork Chop 炭燒美國 榖飼豬排 ($242) – 8.5/10 As claimed, the corn-fed pork chop was beautifully grilled to well done but still maintained the soft and moist texture. However, it was a bit over-priced to be served in a casual restaurant.
j) Spaghetti with Hakata Cod Roe 明太子意粉 ($104) – 8/10 The spaghetti was cooked al dente, well mixed with cod roe and cream to create a creamy based, not too salty but had to finish quickly or the fishy smell would dominate the dish.
k) Spaghetti with Shrimp Bisque 鮮蝦濃汁 ($104) – 7.5/10
The bisque sauce was delicious but when it became cold, it lost its attraction. The shrimp was sinewy but not the fresh type.
