Hawaii Restaurant

We went for western cuisine during one fine day and we decided to choose to go somewhere which is value for money. Thus, Hawaii Restaurant is our choice. Hawaii Restaurant is located inside City View Hotel at town. Opposite town's Shell petrol station and it is at the same row with Lumen Trading. We had reviewed Hawaii Restaurant before though, you can read about it here.

Hawaii Restaurant offer a variety of food in their menu. Apart from their ala carte menu, they offer Breakfast Set Menu, Lunch Set Menu, Hi-tea Set Menu and their Dinner Set Menu.

Facts :
1) Beef Stroganoff or Beef Stroganov is a Russian dish whereby sauteed pieces of beef served in a sauce with sour cream.
2) Fermented Beancurd or fu-yue is a form of processed preserved tofu. Sometimes people call it as the Chinese Butter.

Sweet corn with Crab meat soup
I never fails to order this every time I come to dine even though the set menu itself comes with soup.

The amount of crab meat they put in is very generous. You can hardly miss seeing any of it in your soup. The sweetcorn itself is very sweet. I like this very much. Please keep in mind to order this in the ala carte menu although sometimes their soup-of-the-day is Sweetcorn with crabmeat soup.

Fried Prawn Fritters
Normal battered fried prawns. The prawn is small. Not that worth it, but just because someone was craving for fried prawns, if not I'd not ordered it.

Beef Stroganoff (Set)
Beef Stroganoff served with buttered rice and vegetables.
I've tried better ones, but this is edible. Nothing that blows my mine here.
It just that I first saw this dish in the Lunch Set Menu. A new item. The sauce is not bad but it could be better. The rice is very fragrant.

Fried fu-yue Chicken Rice
Fried chicken with fu-yue. It is quite dry to me. The fried chicken is not just fried chicken- the way the marinate it is different. You can taste the fu-yue.

Grilled Chicken Chop (Set)
The chicken is grilled with the juice still intake. I enjoy this though. The sauce is just nice for it. Again, there are rooms for improvement.

Grilled Lamb Shoulder (Set)
Who'd missed having lamb shoulder when going out for western cuisine? Their lamb shoulder have nothing to shout out about but they are decent and edible. You hardly ever get their gamey taste and smell here.

Verdict? This place is really a value for money place, for the price of the food and the quality, it seriously worth dropping by. The set lunch we had above is a 4-course meal, consist of Soup of the day with garlic bread, main course, dessert (which we had fruits platter that day), and coffee or tea of your choice. Hi-tea menu is a choice of sandwiches and tea or coffee of your choice.Their set dinner menu is a 5-course meal which include a appetizer.

I used to order their Chinese Wine Meehoon/Rice, but it seems that they does not serve it anymore =(

Overall experience, 3.5 over 5. It could be 4 though.
