Isola Bar + Grill

It's a lovely afternoon and we're off for lunch at Isola in IFC, Central. This restaurant has got a great harbour view. It would be great to enjoy a long lunch and sunshine in the outdoor section. This time we were sitting indoor and the interior is still very spacey and cozy.

For lunch, the weekend lunch menu is available, in three course options. We all chose buffet appetizer and never considered the salad and soup options, because the starters buffet was serving a lot of interesting food.

After the starters we were already half full, but still we strived to finish the mains!

Deep fried kurobuta pork loin

Crispy outside but tender inside. The aroma of kurobta is kind of reduced as the pork loin is a very thin slice. But still mouthwatering whenever I think of it!

Roasted free range chicken with spinach and baked potatoes

Free range chicken's texture ace. The meat was juicy and soft, I wanted to take this dish to my area and monopolize it~
The potatoes were baked to slightly dry, so the aroma all came out, making the potato dices appealing as chips.

Grilled wild Norwegian salmon with mashed potatoes and tomato sauce

Home made tagliatelle with Italian tomatoes, herbs and ragout of beef

I could not resist this pasta! Love the the tagliatelle which was cooked to al dente and still carried nice smell of egg yolk. It was richly flavoured with a mix of herbs, tomatoes and ragout of beef. Excellent.

Risotto with mixed wild mushrooms and blue cheese

This risotto was really rich and thick. We tried our best to finish it but we gotta leave some place for the desserts, so we were forced to leave it...
