We were both looking forward to enjoying a rich, tasty clam chowder and biting through a crunchy crackling. Unfortunately, the restaurant had run out on quite a number of dishes that afternoon, including the clam chowder.
But what the restaurant didn't tell us was that they had run out of crackling as well!! Well, either they had ran out, or someone forgot to add the crackling onto the tray before they brought the dish out. Either case was not good.
Since there were no clam chowder, we ordered the Reuben sandwich which came with salad and chips. Gaz thought it was well seasoned and the corned beef in the sandwich delicious. Indeed, the dishes here are not for the 'skim milk' or 'lite yogurt' people.
The salad is well dressed, chips well seasoned, beef tender. Read oil, salt and fat. Aren't all delicious food unhealthy?
This is my tray of pork belly. As can be seen, there is no crackling. Where are they!! The pictures on the net for this dish all had crackling. On the tray were two cubes of pork belly, pickled veges, salad, potato salad and four pieces of bread with sauce.
Lots of carbs here, no crackling. The pork was tender and delicious, albeit a little porky smell. I enjoyed the potato salad. I would have liked crackling though. Did I say I missed the crackling?
I appreciate the American style cuisine and I enjoyed the dishes we had. But I felt 5 kgs heavier leaving the restaurant!
