In keeping with the changing weather, which is turning chilly by the day, we ventured out last Thursday evening to pamper ourselves with some sizzling sizzlers at Kobe in Qurum. Kobe is one place, which was always in my ‘to-do’ list, but somehow couldn’t manage a visit for the last one year. The restaurant has a contemporary and elegant look, with strategically placed dried bamboo shoots making up for most of the décor. We ordered for one Chicken Hokkoido and one Nasi Goreng Veg Sizzler. The chicken sizzler was nicely done with lots of steamed veggies at the top and a large chicken steak marinated with herbs at the bottom.
The veg sizzler had a large portion of fried rice at the bottom and sprinkled with sauté paneer and mushroom. I had my share of chicken sizzler, and also tasted the veg bit – both were well made and of generous helpings. One thing I hated about the chicken sizzler was the green peas bit, which was steamed less and tasted very raw. The sizzlers were washed down with iced tea and fresh lime with mint – the iced tea tasted divine I must confess. The bill for two sizzlers and drinks came upto nine rials. Since we landed up on a weekend, the place was packed, and the staff managed the show efficiently. Only issue is that a sizzler-only joint will have a smoky feeling, and Kobe was not much different either. I am impressed with the place, and have zeroed on a few other items to try out during the next visit – which I hope will be very soon.
