Well more like eating than rocking, really.
(^.^)
I had a really fancy birthday dinner in October last year with KD & Irna.
It's our first time there, and of course was a bit jakun.
When we arrived around 8.30pm, the live bands hadn't started performing yet. According to the waiter serving us, bands usually start playing at 9pm and that night they were having three different bands auditioning to perform there regularly.
We chose a table outside, overlooking Sungai Melaka and Stadhuys. It was a really nice view.
I honestly rarely go out at night because 1) there's nothing much to do at night in Melaka anyway; 2) my parents still think I'm 16.
Oh well.
After checking out the menu in such a careful manner (everything looked super delicious!), we decided to try its nachos for starters, Twisted Mac, Chicken & Cheese and Legendary 10oz Burger. We wanted to order another main course but then the waiter, with a serious look, told us we probably had order more than enough for three people as the portion is big.
How dare he lied to us. The portion wasn't big. It was HUGE! God, the food that we ordered could probably fill up to 5-6 people!
Below is short review of the food, the description is taken from HRC website :
*HARD ROCK NACHOS*
"Corn tortilla chips layered with homemade queso, piled
high and topped with Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses and seasoned
pinto beans. Served with sourcream, chopped green onions, pico de gallo,
jalapenos and a side of freshly made Hard Rock Salsa."
The serving was super huge. Everything tasted heavenly and the jalapenos were not that ear-smoking hot. Must be eaten quickly or the chips will turn soggy. We kept it aside for awhile to devour our main course, bad decision.Tsk tsk tsk...
*TWISTED MAC, CHICKEN & CHEESE*
"A grilled chicken breast tops off twisted Cavatappi
pasta tossed in a lighty spiced 3-cheese sauce, with garlic, roasted red
peppers and Parmesan parsley bread crumbs. Served with a side of garlic
toast."
The moment the mac and cheese made love with my taste buds, I knew I would come back again for this.
Enough said.
*LEGENDARY 10 OZ BURGER*
"Famous the world over: topped with seasoned turkey
bacon, two slices of Cheddar cheese, a crisp fried onion ring, lettuce,
tomato, and pickles."
We ended up eating the meat only as the buns were a bit dry, could hardly swallow it. The meat was juicy enough but I felt like something was missing. Like they didn't marinate it long enough or something.
*our faithful waiter. looked so serious in this picture because he said "kena tunjuk garang baru nampak cool dalam gambar." lol*
*the open bar*
*Sungai Melaka & Stadhuys*
The live bands were performing while we devoured our meals and laughed over silly things.
We've known each other for almost 16 years now, couldn't finish laughing in one night.
At this age, I believe the quality of friends are more important than quantity. Friends who really want to befriend you by heart, the ones you can pour your heart out to and expect honest-slap-in-the-face feedbacks.
If you have them, cherish these people, for they can be relied on just as your family members.
I am so blessed to have so much love. Alhamdulillah.
Back to the HRC, I would definitely return for the food and not much for the live bands.
This old soul apparently can't stand loud music anymore.
Seriously, it was painful needing to shout during the conversation with my friends.
