Have put off blogging about this for a while cos I wasn't too impressed. Visited Brussel Sprouts at Robertson Quay on Saturday for lunch. Despite going to Robertson Quay pretty often, we had often walked past the other restaurants and headed straight for our usual favourites.
This place however, looked pretty popular in the evenings and had awards posted on the walls, so we decided to give it a try.
We ordered the beer-battered onion rings as one of the starters. Nothing spetacular unfortunately =( Somehow it didn't taste like anything to me.
The beef croquette came highly recommended by the waiter. It was not too bad, but again not a show stopper and not something which I would make a special trip to the restaurant to eat.
*Shinta had the steak and fries. Surprisingly, he described it as "one of the better steaks" he had eaten. High praise indeed! It wasn't too bad actually, the outside had a nice smoky grilled flavour.
Last was the speciality of the restaurant.. mussels/clams with free flow of fries. Having eaten pretty unbeatable fresh mussels before (more on that another time), I decided to try the clams rather than set myself up.
The clams were fresh, but surprisingly small. Was pleased that each shell had a clam (except for 2 empty shells, but I later found the clams floating in the soup). The clear tomato based sauce I had chosen was light enough to drink as soup. It would probably have been better to slurp it up with bread. Originally tried to use the fries to soak up the sauce, but the fries were very very disappointing. Suspect they have different people doing the fries, because the first few I stole from *Shinta's steak were crispy on the outside and nice and light on the inside. But the ones that came with my clams were too thick, undercooked and in general just pretty bad.
Those of you who have eaten at the Trailer of Life before, know how difficult it is to get really good fries elsewhere!
