Hard Rock Cafe @ Cuscaden Road

IMG_5968

In my previous post on Hard Rock Cafe Sentosa, I mentioned that there are 3 Hard Rock Cafe restaurants in Singapore at Resort World Sentosa, Cuscaden Road and Changi Airport Terminal 3 Departure Transit Lounge. Together with Andy, ShiTing, Celes and HongPeng, we were down at Hard Rock Cafe Cuscaden Road to check out their new seafood menu.

Seafood Platter 4/5

We started off with the Seafood Platter ($28++). It came with an assortment of grilled prawns, calamari rings, battered sea bass fillet, soft shell crab served on a bed of french fries with tartar sauce. Fresh fried seafood with tartar sauce would never go wrong. Unfortunately, the grilled prawns will a little under cooked.

Crispy Sea Bass 4/5

The Crispy Sea Bass ($26++) was served with pesto sauce, mashed potatoes and vegetables. The pan fried sea bass was beautifully executed with a nice crisp on the skin and moist inside. However, I did not enjoy the pesto sauce pairing. I would prefer the sauce to be more zesty though.

Chilli Crab Spaghetti 4/5

I was actually looking forward to the Chilli Crab Spaghetti ($26++). Having tried the Chilli Crab sauce at Hard Rock Cafe, I knew it was good. The sweetness of the fresh crab meats and the spicy sauce coating the spaghetti was an enjoyment. If I could substitute the 2 pieces of toasted bread for a crab claw or maybe some fried soft shell crabs, visually it will look more value for money.

Crab Fried Rice 4.2/5

Last but not least, we tried the Crab Fried Rice ($20++). It was wok fried with succulent crab meat, prawns and diced portobello mushroom, wrapped in an egg omelette. It was very tasty and fragrant. Probably my favourite out of the 4 new seafood dishes in terms of taste but not the price.

Overall the new seafood menu at Hard Rock Cafe definitely passed the mark but the pricing maybe a bit challenging.

A great thanks to Natalie for having us and Andy for coordinating the tasting session.

  1. The crab fried rice looks like the odd ball out of the items. as it looks more of a chinese cuisine. (well, just a personal perception) =)

    Happy National Day(Holidays!)
