V-Lunch at Lotte

We found a quiet and uncrowded spot for our V-day lunch. We dared not went near the malls as I assumed they were jam packed cos of three situations : Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and it's a family Sunday. Neither we aimed to eat at popular places for the same reasons given.

All we wanted was good food and unhurried afternoon. Previous two nights out had enough noise and fun to seek for a relaxing lunch out.







I've been eyeing this newest resto in our vicinity everytime we passed by the new building where it is nestling.




The location is unassuming as you wouldn't expect there's a restaurant hidden on the 2nd floor of a small commercial building ( Palm Square ) with a beauty medical clinic (ala Belo Med) as its carrier. The only hint is its sign board name infront of the building.


The resto is named Lotte Seafood, Taiwanese Cuisine. True enough we were the only occupants of the place. The light was even turned off before we entered and I remember seeing the place got dark when we left the place.


I have a good feeling with newly opened resto. Everything is new. I would imagine the kitchen has all new cooking hard and soft wares, must be neat and inhibited yet of germs and as bacterial repository just like old and abused kitchen of some old Chinese restos.





Interior was minimalist. Almost zen like. Dining sets smelled clean and new. It was big enough and had private function hall on the side. I always love a place without a crowd. It's like renting the whole place all by yourself. That was how the noon was, we were the only costumers, the only table in used.





Prices were reasonable and not at all expensive. The menu said Taiwanese cuisine which specialized on seafood. Personally, I couldn't tell Taiwanese from other chinese cooking. They all the same to me.

Tempura, isn't that Japanese?

To cut the choices short (there were lots), we ordered a set meal for four. When everything arrived on our table, only then we realized that they had the same color of red orange and all were sweet and sour based.

the ever fave of my girls - sweet and sour pork

prawns in chili sauce

fish with mango (not the exact name of the dish)

fried rice, even this had orange color

We actually enjoyed each plate. The dishes were all delicious. We had to order some extra plates of rice as the fried rice included in the set was not enough. I thought, the rice was only good for two and not for four.




I appreciated the details put in each plate. Each was beautifully decorated with edible stuff.





The service was fast and kind. Well, that's what the best about uncrowded resto.




We even received a complimentary dessert of fresh fruits. Thank you very much.
