Franco!

Franco is known for their fusion concept of French-Japanese casual dining.

The thing is, since I'm an enthusiast in spaghetti, I didn't really pay attention to what they have.

But then good thing I took photos of the menu:

I was in Franco during the beginning of December, somewhere on the 7th.

They had a 3 Course Lunch Set promotion, where Carbonara spaghetti was available.

ONZ.

I called the waiter straightaway, asking for the set.

But somehow the waiters doesn't seem to be happy to work there. Huh.

Anyway, food is the priority, so, the first thing I got was the minestrone soup.

(which I drank it before I remembered to take photos.)

It was not bad, better than Kim Gary//Wong Kok's of course.

Then came the carbonara.

But man, I remember that I was famished.

My expectation was high.

But I suddenly felt... neutral.

Ya see, the meal looks fine.

It looks good enough to eat.

Another thing with an uncooked egg yolk on the top.

BUT.

CARBONARA IS SUPPOSED TO BE CREAMY-ISH (??????)

WHY WAS IT WATERY (????????)

I don't get it.

I thought mixing everything up, along with the yolk, would make it creamier.

Maybe it was the heat, maybe it'd be creamier after cooling down but NO.

IT DIDN'T.

I REMAINED WATERY.

I took a first bite and boy, I was expecting the taste to be rich but...

I mean, there's taste but... quite plain (??)

Or maybe it was the soup that made this dish plain.

I don't know.

I just wanna finish it up and go.

But then when the waiter brought the Vanilla Soflee to the table, everything changed.

It was good, surprisingly.

I would say that it's the higher quality version of Mc Donald's vanilla ice cream.

Its richer in taste and texture.

Although the cup is small, but I can guarantee you, it's enough after the soup and the main dish.

Conclusion:

You can try their carbonara... but I'd suggest you to try their other fusion food.

If there's a meal set, with the soflee, don't hesitate too much.

Overall: ★★★☆☆☆☆
