Old Spaghetti Factory

I have to give it to them for the generous portion sizes and copious amounts of cheese in their dishes. And their service was excellent.

Alas, the food was less than satisfying.

We were first served bread with garlic butter which was alright. 

Next came my Vegetarian Lasagna (pictured below).

I never thought I would say this but there actually is such a thing as too much cheese! Worse was that the texture of both the pasta and the cheese had a plastic feel and flavour. 

The Spumoni ice cream at the end of was pretty, good. The pistachio flavour was a nice kick.

Meet on Main

This introductory tour through Meet on Main's menu has peaked my interest. 

Ordered the Not-Cho' Average Nacho Fries, Corn Fritters and Sweet Chilli Cauliflower to share with a friend. 

While waiting we enjoyed observing the artwork and deco -a laid-back yet inviting setting.

The Nacho Fries arrived promptly and were an interesting mix of veggies and cheese, but could have used a tad more cheese.

The Corn Fritters were delish! The dish actually comes with 6 Fritters (3 of them went into our mouths before I could take a pic).

The Sweet Chilli Cauliflower was too sour for my liking but my friend really enjoyed it.

We had the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls for dessert which turned out to be quite a disappointment, but I still have hope for the other desserts here (I need to remember to stop eating my food before I take the pictures)!!! 

Burgoo Bistro

This Gooey Cheese Griller is the BEST GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH in the city! I mean it, this is a MUST if you have any ounce of love for cheese.

The bread itself is soft and tenderly chewy. It must be soaked in some secret magical ingredient, because I have never tasted that kind of goodness elsewhere.

And even their Spinach Salad, which came as a side, deserves a mention. (This is coming from someone who has no interest in salads whatsoever). The salad is topped with enough dressing and crumbled feta cheese to satisfy my need for flavour. And the added touch of the sweet apple crunch in the fresh veggies and cheese makes this salad extraordinary.
