Fried Shrimp Tony Roma Suntec City

The fried Shrimp came as part of the Family Feast that was served at the Suntec City branch of Tony Roma.

I like seafood, especially prawns and shrimps. However the Tony Roma fried shrimp that's lightly breaded and fried to a golden brown crisp did not turn out as expected.

I have tasted fried shrimps that were more crunchy and tasty than Tony Roma's. The breaded coat was rather insipid and not crunchy. The shrimp felt a little too dry and tough to bite. I suggest using the cocktail sauce to enhance the flavour of the Fried Shrimp.

Recommendation:
Score for Tony Roma Fried Shrimp = 5.5 out of 10.

Side Dish: Tony Roma Corn

Side Dish: Tony Roma Corn

I love the corns that come as a side dish in Tony Roma's Family Feast.

The Tony Roma corns looked a healthy yellow. Unlike those sallow pieces that have been squeezed of moisture like some supermarket corns that often appear in tin cans that you add as a side dish at home.

The individual grains of corn offered a robust bite, with enough juice in this side dish to keep the mouth moist. The corn had intrinsic sweetness that was not due to added sugar. If you like to coat your corn with butter that comes with the Family Feast, the combination of butter and corn sweetness with thrill your tastebuds to no end.

Unfortunately, I could not get enough of the corn side dish as I had to share the portions with other family members who were also enthusiatic over it.

I surprised myself at my fondness for the corns, as I am usually considered to be a "rice bin" person. I'm glad I switch the side dish from rice to corn instead. If you have not tried these, do consider having a go at them.

Recommendation:

Overall score for Tony Roma corn as a side dish = 9 out of 10.

Tony Roma BBQ Chicken

Tony Roma BBQ Chicken

I sampled the BBQ Chicken of Tony Roma's Family Feast. Earlier I've also talked about the St Louise-styled ribs.

Presentation-wise, the well tanned thick slabs of chicken looked tantalising. The dark BBQ stripes on the well-glazed chicken skin signaled to me that it was hot off the BBQ grill and appeared very appetising.

One small bite on the Tony Roma BBQ Chicken revealed its soft, juicy and fleshy meat. It's got that wholesome chicken flavour that makes the tongue lust for more. The secret BBQ sauce that Tony Roma used to cook their BBQ chicken tasted sweet and thrilled my tastebuds.

This is one of the better BBQ chicken that I've tasted, that doesn't come with a thick coat of batter. I prefer it this way was batter coating often adds an unnecessary layer that masks the chicken taste.

Recommendation:

Score for Tony Roma BBQ Chicken = 8.5 out of 10.

St Louis-Style Ribs

St Louis-Style Ribs

I liked the St Louis-Style ribs of Tony Roma, Suntec City restaurant. This was part of the Family Feast that I tried recently at Tony Roma.

The St. Louis-style ribs were finger-linkingly sweet. The meat on the rib has a consistent texture that releases the flavours with each chew. I was able to seperate the meat from the ribs with ease and wasted none of it as I licked it until rib-bone dry.

Pity that the St Louis-style ribs did not come with more pieces in the Family Feast. Perhaps next time, I might order the St Louis-style ribs only.
