Friday Dinner Date: Hot Tomato

Once per week, we try to have a dinner date, with official reason is to keep the love flame on *blush*. Actually, the real reasons are 1) to feed my hunger for good food and 2) I'm too lazy to cook that day.
On our last dinner date, we went to Hot Tomato at Nex Serangoon. We've been there a couple of times and that place kind of become where we go to when we want something nice and fast and not so expensive.

As usual, I ordered Salmon Mango Salsa (S$13.90, if I remember correctly) for "little boss" inside my tummy. Honestly, this is not my favorite dish but I ordered it nonetheless. Don't get me wrong, it was a yummy dish, but personally I prefer steak :P

The only complaint for the dish is the inconsistency of the aglio olio pasta. During the last visit, it was too garlicky and this time the lemon sauce was poured on top of it, I can't barely taste the garlic. And oh, the pasta was too soft not al dente anymore.

Garlic Seafood Linguine was the choice of my husband. When the dish came, I was shocked with its generous portion. I mean look at that...isn't generous for S$ 9.90?
My hubby didn't complaint much, except for the prawn which he felt not so fresh.

And since I managed to persuade my husband to get the set meal (add S$ 3.50 for soup of the day and drink), I can order the cake of the day for only S$ 2.50. I have to tell you, I love their chocolate cake of the day. In fact, I ate it with such gusto and most probably embarrassing my husband, that prompted the couple sitting next to us ordered the same thing (Hot Tomato should give me discount for helping them selling the cake :P)

The cake consists of 2 layers. The first one is melting-in-your-mouth-chocolatey and the second layer is a mix between crackers and chocolate I guess. The taste is heavenly! I wish I could eat the whole cake not only a slice.

In conclusion, we recommend Hot Tomato for casual dinning. The food quality is nice and the price is right. And do try the chocolate cake of the day!
