Haven't been to Saizeriya Italian Restaurant for a while so decided to give it a visit because they always have new items every now and then.
This time they had a new icecream.

The pasta is back to normal so I am going to order pasta from now on because the pasta that was served a while ago was chewy, weird and elastic like thick Yunnan rice noodles.
For dessert they had this Italian icecream which is like a ball.
The one I had was deformed but it tasted really nice except the artificial blueberry tasting jam in the middle.

There are always new dishes at Saizeriya, but unfortunately, the food I had this time was not that good.

Here was what I had and it is always fun comparing the product shots to the real thing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried scallops:

These were ok, small scallops coated in breadcrumbs.

Grilled mackerel:

The mackerel was too dry.

The colour of the soup was rather different and it was too salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Seafood pizza:


Tasteless!~
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salmon and spinach pasta:


The pasta was ok but they have changed the brand of pasta because the strands were thicker and the texture was really chewy like Chinese Yunnan rice noodles.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried ginger pork with spaghetti:


The pork was too sweet but the sauce was tasty.
Again, I don't like the new pasta that they serve because it was like eating plastic.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Meringue cake:

The meringue cake was really nice, it was layers of cream with crispy meringue in the middle and chocolate chips.
A very nice dessert if it was not too sweet.

The food here is always cheap and the variety is good.
They always change their menu which keeps you coming back but usually I forget about this place because of the location.

On this visit, they had my favourite ravioli.
 0 讚好

Portions are on the small side, but the dishes are so cheap that you can order other dishes to fill you up and there is no service charge.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spicy sausage pizza:

The tiny sausage slices taste as good as the ones at Pizza hut but they are not that spicy.
I would have liked the sausage slices to be more evenly distributed but they kept falling off when I ate it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mediterranean paella:

Some of the rice was quite crispy but not hard.
The rice and tasty sauce tasted great together but it was a bit too salty.

As well as ravioli and meat sauce, they also have a soup version.
I liked the meat sauce but the creamy sauce in it was too creamy for me.

[Review 1697] Italian style grilled skewers @ 薩莉亞意式餐廳 Saizeriya Italian Restaurant

Tried the new skewers here which reminded me of the satays served with peanut sauce because the ones here were also served in peanut sauce.
The satays come in fours or eights.

Although it was Italian style I felt that it was quite Malaysian because of the satay sauce but only Italianised because of the onion sauce.

On the menu, you can see part of the name has been tippexed out, on closer inspection it looks like the word chicken has been tippexed out.

When I ordered, I asked what meat it was because it does not say on the menu and it turns out to be pork so I ordered four skewers only, had it been chicken I would have ordered eight.

Apart from me, I found other people asking whether it was chicken and getting disappointed when they found out it was pork.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Italian style grilled stick
The pork itself was relatively moist but some pieces came with fat which I thought were onion because it was white.
The two sauces that came with it were sour onions in oil and satay sauce.
The satay sauce tasted the better of the two.
The satay sticks looked like if they were reused because of the blackness of the skewers, I doubt they could get that black in one grilling without the meat being more grilled than the sticks!!

Felt like going to Saizeriya and was glad I went because there was new items on the menu.

Tried the grilled squid and batter grilled shrimps which was not previously on the menu.
Also ordered the black pepper sauce and chicken combo.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Grilled squid HKD25:
It looked nearly the same as the product shot, however I was worried it might not have been cooked thoroughly as the squid was huge and thick,
Anyway, the middle was not cooked long enough but edible.
The sauce for the squid was really nice, it was similar to satay sauce but with more savory tones in it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Batter grilled shrimps HKD19:
The shrimps were huge, they were the same length as the table spoon.
The coating for the shrimp was quite thick too, the sauce that came with it was the prawn cocktail sauce that is served with the prawn cocktail and fried chicken pieces.
The coating was slightly burnt and dark if you compare it to the product shot.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Black pepper sauce and chicken combo HKD38:
This was a platter of fried chicken pieces, chicken wings and grilled chicken thigh with black pepper sauce which is quite good because you can sample all those items.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The air conditioning was freezing, all six were set around 20 degrees Celsius.

[Review 1383] Saizeriya Italian Restaurant's winter menu @ 薩莉亞意式餐廳 Saizeriya Italian Restaurant

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/saizeriya-italian-restaurants-winter-menu-e2209505
As always the food at Saizeriya is cheap, fast and good.

They have changed their menu, and there are quite a few new items that are Japanese such as spicy whelks, seaweed and the pork belly in black vinegar.

Not a fan of Japanese food but ordered the pork belly, fried chicken, mushroom and cream risotto, spaghetti bolognese cherry tomatoes and buffalo cheese.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried chicken
The iron plate was covered with oil hence the fried chicken was slightly oily where it had touched the plate.
Apart from that, the coating was thin and the chicken inside was tender and tasty.
The sauce that came with it was the famous sauce they use in their prawn salad.
The sauce was slightly too creamy for the chicken, but luckily the sauce was runny so you can control the amount of sauce you want.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pork belly in sweet vinegar sauce
It reminded of the Hangzhou dish called Dongpo pork, a square piece of pork belly with layers of fat and lean meat.
The belly is braised in sweet vinegar sauce, similar to the sweet vinegar and ginger pig's trotters.
I only ate the lean part of the meat , but it was slightly dry and coarse.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Garlic bread
This is new on the winter menu which replaces the foccacia.
Overall it tastes OK, but I prefer the foccacia.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Cheese and mushroom risotto
This is my favourite Asian cooked risotto Italian style because it was not too creamy and it contained lots of finely diced onions and parsley.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spaghetti bolognaise
This was disappointing because it looked nothing like the product shot, and it did not taste like bolognaise sauce.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Cherry tomatos and buffulo cheese
The portion size was quite small, but the buffulo cheese was really nice with the olive oil drizzled on top.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Spaghetti grenovese
Although the sauce was green, it was not Pesto sauce but THAI BASIL!!
It was an interesting dish because Thai basil was used instead of Basil which is commonly used in Italian dishes.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Garlic foccacia from previous menu
This is no longer on the menu, but it was nice eating it with olive oil.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
creme pudding
It was not too sweet and the texture of the pudding was slightly firm with an eggy taste.

This time ordered the pasta in ink, prawn salad, garlic bread, minestrone and chowder soup.

Pasta in ink:
Always my favourite here, because the pasta is not too soft and al-dente.
There was a bit too much finely chopped garlic than usual, and there were more squid tentacles than the body in the pasta.

Garlic bread:
There was a choice of garlic bread with cheese, but I found it was just the same as the cheese one by adding Parmesan cheese powder to it.

Minestrone soup:
The menu showed thick tomato soup with lots of pasta in it, hence this was why I ordered it.
However when it arrived, it was watery and it was just vegetable soup and no pasta in it.
Not real minestrone if you’ve had real minestrone soup!

Chowder soup:This also didn’t taste nice, it was too sweet especially with too many diced onions.
Asian style chowder soup.

Overall the soups were cheap, the portion was so small, and the amount of soup in the bowl was so shallow, that the spoon hits the bowl when you use your spoon.
Although I didn’t like the soups there, I appreciated the other sweetcorn soup stated how it tasted on the menu.
