2015 was the year i made my first visit to Hoshino Coffee. Since then; i had patronized its various branches a few times; mostly for drinks after meals until i was introduced to their special sets!
Personally, i thought it's pretty worth the deal with mains, drinks and dessert for 2 persons, 3 persons and 4 persons! And you can choose any item that falls under the respective category on the menu.
Which means; you can choose a double strawberry pancake instead of a single! It's best to do your own calculation though; a S$17.80 dessert is a lot more worth it than your S$6.50 matcha cheesecake.
This time round, i finally managed to bring along my parents for a meal and it was hard deciding on the mains to order, as mom is not really into western fusion cuisine and doesn't indulge in beef due to religious reasons! p.s. she likes French food though.
Iced Sakura Latte with Ice Cream - looking pretty with a dried, salty sakura flower and strawberry shavings topping the ice cream; i have no idea what sakura tastes like although this beverage was pretty good with a nice, creamy taste that's more strawberry like.
Omu Rice and Angus Beef Steak with Salad - i had this about a month ago with the Great Kon and enjoyed it so much that i made it a point to order it again this time.
The medium-doneness, sliced-up angus beef steak didn't disappoint once again with its utter juiciness although i did find the portion significantly reduced compared to my visit to the same branch one month ago. I didn't do justice to the omu rice though as there's a sizeable portion of tasty tomato fried rice buried underneath the egg!
Salmon with Wasabi Cream Sauce - mom opted for this as it contained one of her favourite meat; fish. Specifically for this case, salmon. Frankly, i didn't notice the word wasabi on the menu and hence, didn't inform my mom. She took a huge bite when it was served and almost choked on the burning after sensation!
I actually like it more than my omu rice and gladly exchanged my main with her. Well, the key is to eat slower so that the "spiciness" was easier to manage. The only thing is that i am not a huge fan of cooked salmon.
Omu Souffle Curry Rice - dad's order and i happily stole a bite. After which, i almost wanted to snatch it away from him and have it all for myself as it was surprisingly delicious!
Gravy had that signature Japanese curry sweetness that's just a tad spicy with a few beef chunks that's absolutely delish when you mix in the rice. The star was obviously the souffle omelette which had that unmatched fluffiness that would be well-liked by legit egg lovers.
Strawberry Pancake (Double) - an absolute attention drawer, i was afraid my mom wouldn't want to touch it as she doesn't like to have cakes during dinnertime.
Thankfully, it turned out she enjoyed it very much; finding it soft, airy and of the right sweetness. For me, i still prefer to add some maple syrup for that additional saccharine kick.
Fruit Tea - there's always a reason why i chose to talk about this the last; it's either the most memorable or downright disgusting item in my visit. Came in either hot or cold; it's a must order whenever i drop by Hoshino Coffee.
It's fruit infused tea that's so rich; you can almost feel the antioxidant level in your body spiking up after taking a sip! My preference had always been cold but for the benefit of my mom; i also chose the hot option.
Look at the amount of fruits; orange, lime, peach, kiwi and mango (i think)!
