Lunch
@nookrestaurant in north van~
I haven't been to north van for more than 5 years. Gorgeous as usual~ Back to food。
The rigatoni is outstanding. Bouncy egg pasta, sauce is creamy and garlic-y, sticks on the pasta really well. With a hint of sweet+sourness from the sundried tomatoes if you bite on it, pretty well done~
Pizza margarita is nicely done too~ crispy sides, the proportion on dough and ingredients is appropriate. Tomato sauce is nicely seasoned, and they use actual mozzarella, not those pizza mozzarella. Defo a plus.
Spaghetti Bolognese is always tricky cuz everyone makes it differently, and this one is definitely on the very different side. To begin with, I like it. It's not very saucy. It's spicy mainly, and meaty. Almost like Hong Kong style Bolognese (that I am selling, DM for info 🙃) but spicier and less saucy. It's not your typical tomato sweet and sour Bolognese. The egg pasta has a unique texture too. Not your typical al dente.
The last is the meatball in tomato sauce. It's good. Crust on the outside, Soft and still moist inside, full of spices and packed with meat. But I am just gonna be honest, I don't think it fits as antipasta. If it was served with pasta or rice, it would be perfect. Just like the Bolognese, it is not very tomato. Instead, it has very strong spice and herb scent, mixed with beef and pork (I guess there is pork). But it's so strong it overpowered the Bolognese and the other two entrees too. So my critique is the meatball itself is good, but the dish can be confusing. Hope they see it and it helps.
當日食完我啲frd問我會唔會照寫上面既critic? 當然照寫,唔寫佢點知人哋食完點諗?我自己最驚係冇feedback。啲野食掉咗岀去石沉大海,或者一句“好食呀”。都唔知係客氣説話定真心但只係詞窮😅 。以前收最多既comment 就係“好似岀面食咁”,雖然我唔知佢岀面食開咩,但我當係讚㗎啦😂。最好笑有次整burger俾小朋友,食完話“哥哥啲漢堡包好似麥當勞咁好食☺️”,睇住佢個滿心歡喜咁食哂望住你笑好滿足既樣,我個樣都好開心,主要係佢呀媽喺隔離,但內心就一股寒風,當場死亡🙃
我啲漢堡包....同香港麥當勞同一個level....
