October’s almost over and the festive season is gradually creepin’ in. This celebratory time of the year usually means lots of cosy get togethers with family, friends and of course, scrumptious food all around. To make the festivities more exciting, Tony Roma’s has curated a special festive promo menu, Tony’s Fiesta Platter.
Comprising of two Bountiful Beef Ribs, two Filet Medallions, Grilled Salmon, 1/4 BBQ Chicken, Shrimp Scampi and three sides of your choice, Tony’s Fiesta Platter is priced at RM157.83 nett and is great for sharing amongst two or three people. If you’re spoilt for choice with all Tony Roma’s offerings, this platter allows you to sample the best Tony Roma’s has to offer.
We savoured everything on the Fiesta Platter, but our favourites would have to be the Bountiful Beef Ribs and the Shrimp Scampi. It’s evident why Tony Roma’s is known for its delicious beef ribs. The ribs are huge and the meat is so tender, it falls right off the bone. Marinated with Tony Roma’s original barbecue sauce, the ribs are undoubtedly finger-licking good.
We’ve never heard that the Shrimp Scampi is a hero dish at Tony Roma’s, but it was cooked so well and we enjoyed every bit of it. The shrimps were not overcooked, and they are lightly tossed in butter, herbs, garlic, and a hint of lemon. Another item we really enjoyed on the Fiesta Platter was the Filet Medallion. The meat was succulent and pink in the centre, which is exactly the way we like our beef.
What we liked about the Fiesta Platter is its flexibility when it comes to choosing your sides to go with it, depending on your preferences. The sides available for you to choose from include fire-roasted vegetables, rice, broccoli, cole slaw, corn on the cob, french fries, loaded mash potatoes, ranch style beans, steamed mixed vegetables and baked potato.
Served together with our Fiesta Platter was a selection of four barbecue sauces, which include TR’s Original™ BBQ Sauce, Carolina Honeys™, Blue Ridge Smokies™, Tennessee BBQ and the Tony Roma’s Red Hots™. Our favourite is, of course, TR’s Original™ BBQ Sauce, which gives a light smoky flavour, sweetness and tanginess.
To go with the Fiesta Platter, you can add on any of Tony Roma’s Fiestalicious Mocktails for RM15.79 nett each. Choose from Zesty Apple – a blend of apple juice, ginger ale, cherry and lime soda, Sweet Cherry – a combination of lemon, Roma sour mix, strawberry and lime soda, Cranberry Fizz – a fusion of cranberry, apple and mango with a tinge of lime soda, and the Miami Breeze – a mix of pineapple juice, ginger ale, grenadine, cherry and lime soda.
No hearty meal is complete without dessert and for this, we had the Dessert Trio which allowed us to pick three dessert options from the menu. We tried the Strawberry Cheesecake, Red Velvet Cake and Raspberry Brownie Royale. They weren’t extremely memorable, but the desserts really sealed the deal as a sweet ending to our meal.
