| - We came for weekday lunch. Upon looking at their lunch menu, I was struck by how many additional charges there are. I have since deleted the photo evidence, but it's $3.50 more to add puff pastry to your soup. It's about $1 more if you want a horlick, if I'm not mistaken, and more than that if you want a cold drink. It costs $0.50 if you want sauce on the side. It costs $0.25 for a takeout container. It costs money if you want to change from spaghetti to a different kind of pasta (not that I could see they have any other kinds of noodles one would traditionally call 'pasta' on the menu). I believe they also have a seating limit of an hour at lunch. Well, it's written on their menu. These restrictions made me wonder what the rest of our experience would be like.
Got the baked chicken in spinach and bacon cream sauce on rice ($8.25? $8.50?). It came with soup and a very limited choice of drinks.
We were told the cream soup of the day was bacon and corn the first time we asked. That sounded good to me, so I ordered it. Usually, I order the borscht at Chinese restaurants because it's more flavorful than the cream soups. I figured the bacon might help with this one. When my aunt ordered after I did, she asked again what the cream soup was. She was told it was corn and clam. That made it less preferably for me than borscht, but in the interest of not complicating things, I just didn't say anything. It tasted like most Chinese style cream soups. Bland. The complimentary bread was soft and pillowy, so my soup ended up being a dip for my bread. Yeah. I'm that kind of girl.
The baked rice was a decent size. I appreciate that it had a fried rice base, and not just white rice. The chicken was tender and tasted fine. The cream sauce was better than the cream sauce (because it did have a few small specks of bacon in it that added some smokiness to the sauce), but I expected my spinach and bacon cream sauce to be a spinachy, smokey cream sauce, and not a cream sauce with small bits of bacon, and a smattering of spinach leaves strewn over my dish. It's more of an English issue than a flavor issue. I think it would have made more sense to call it baked chicken with spinach in bacon cream sauce. It was not bad in taste though.
My mom had the caesar salad with pork chop cutlet. The pork chop was not very big, and we've had better pork cutlets at food courts for cheaper. The caesar salad was not even as good as Pizza Hut's. This one had a few small bits of what we're assuming was bacon, a few croutons, and caesar dressing. Perhaps there was a bit of cheese. Somehow, I doubt it.
The food here is okay, but OMG isn't a place I'd go out of my way to go to again.
