| Omu Rice & Mozarella Tomato Prawn with Salad (RM 23.90) |
Taking care into consideration that Hoshino Coffee is located in shopping mall and has a strong crowd of family, the cafe introduces Omu rice & Mozarella Tomato Prawn with Salad (RM 23.90), a Western inspired modern Japanese dish that is loved by people from all age group.
What makes the difference in the Omu rice here is the chef has added cheese to the omelette, then paired it with tomato cream sauce to create a wonderful marriage between these 2 elements. On top of that, tomato rice is being used instead, unleashing an aromatic flavor of tomato and cheese. A lot of fresh green is served on the side to counter the richness arise from the cheese. Indeed, it will be one of the dish that we are looking forward coming to Hoshino Coffee.

Apart of 3 main dishes, Hoshino 1st Anniversary Limited Menu also has 2 selection of breads as option for wholesome bite during tea break hour. One of it is Double Cheese Toast (RM 14.50), featuring homemade pomodoro sauce, cheese, sausages and bacon with all spreaded on top of the toast and baked. Fun part of having the toast is you can enjoy the cheese pulling factor due to the usage of Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Another bread is Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich (RM 14.50). It is more like a classic chicken sandwich by having tender teriyaki chicken chunk, but the chef gave it a twist by spreading a thin layer of wasabi. Fret not, even those despise wasabi still find the taste is pretty decent.
