Review of The Chubs Grill

So last Saturday, we went to The Chub's Grill for our first ever lunchdate of the new year as husband & wife. And let me tell you, the food there was to die for, scratch that, to LIVE for!😃

We ordered a plate each of the highly recommended Thai Pork Rice, Curry Pork Slices with Rice + Egg & a medium sized Bacon & Cheese Pizza! For our drinks, a glass of Chocolate & Mint creme Frappe to share and a jug of ice water between us.

Here's our humble verdict of the food that we ordered. Keep in mind that it does not reflect everything that can be found on their menu, and believe me their menu are full deliciously named dishes!

Thai Pork Rice:-
The taste wasn't 'thai' enough for our taste palletes but it was still good though. The pork cutlets are well marinated and cut into small bite sized, easy to chew pieces. The rice was fragrant, it's neutral flavor helps in balancing the over powering 'thai' gravy that the pork was drenched in. 😊 All in all, we give it a 3.5 out of 5 for this dish.

Curry Pork Slices with Rice + Egg:-
To be perfectly honest, we both were quite dissapointed with this dish. The curry gravy was more on the sour side instead of having a fragrant and well balanced taste like all curries do. The runny egg yolk gave the gravy a creamy texture when mixed together, added another level tastewise too, but still wasn't able to counter the sourness of the curry gravy. Thank goodness for the absolutely tender sliced pork, it saved the day! We had to give this dish a 3 out of 5.

Bacon & Cheese Pizza:-
For us, nothing was wrong with this dish. The pizza dough has this soft texture on the inside with a crusty exterior. You know that it was perfectly baked in the oven just by looking at it! They were generous with the cheese & toppings too! 5 out of 5 for this all time favorite!

Chocolate & Mint Creme Frappe:-
Tastewise it was really good. Blended to perfection if i can say so myself. You can taste the chocolate, the mint and of course the swirl of whipped cream on the top. Perfect beverage to wash down all the food that we ate beforehand! 😆 Too bad the glass that it came in wasn't As large as we would have thought it was, otherwise we would've given it a 5 out of 5! A solid 4 for this bad boy!

If you love food and of course pork, this restaurant is aces on our books and highly recommended. Their service crew are polite & helpful, the ambiance is sooth & calming, they have a large array of different dishes to choose from and they are well priced too.
