I've been wanting to check out Red Dot for the longest time and finally I got down on one fine Sunday to check the place.
How was the place? One word. NICE. It has an open rustic ambience thats pretty cosy. Non airconditioned though if that is important for you. Click here to check out their website and photos of the place.
So what did I order first? But of course that crazy looking Green Monster Lager. It has spirulina in it. Its pretty easy to drink but as a lager I find that its a bit on the sweet side. Nevertheless, the taste was clean and did not taste any off flavours. I'll drink this again.
Next, Summer Ale. Now this is a lovely thirst quencher. Not exactly very hoppy as stated on their tasting notes but pleasantly hoppy. Definitely more!
By then I was comfortably numb on a Sunday evening but what the hell... give the man another. English Ale. Stronger tasting and definitely maltier. Pretty well balanced ale me thinks without strong grassy taste like the brews sometimes at Brewerkz.
Halfway thro the English Ale, I just had to nibble on something. So picked a Quattro formaggi pizza thats consist of four classic cheese fontal, gorgonzola, mozzarella and provolone.
Unfortunately the pizza came a bit burnt at the base, which made it too bitter on the palate. A little is fine but after a slice it got to me and I don't really look forward to additional carcinogenic substances in my body. I'd normally not return stuff to the kitchen but I don't know what got into me that day, probably the alcohol? hur hur hur. To my surprise the staff was very professional and the 2nd pizza that came out tasted way much better. They even sprinkled some fresh chopped herbs on it. See the picture on top? No fresh herbs. Alamak... So this pizza supposed to have herbs one or not ah?
Beers per pint are $7 before 6pm and $11 after that. The pizza's $18.

Ah yesss...I think hubby mentioned the four cheese pizza was nice.
Wah your pizza really came with added ingredients after you returned it to the kitchen! Hehe. Normally I am scared of "other ingredients" but fresh herbs sound good!
Oooohhh... We should really check it out then this weekend... Bet peranchis will be rubbing his tummy all the way back home after that... I can almost hear the inevitable *Burrrrppp* already... hehehe...
How fun! They should ship this to Boston so we can enjoy it at Red Sox games while our "Green Monster" mascot entertains the crowd.
I was thinking the same thing Erin was--it would be great to have at Fenway!
camemberu: oh yeah, i was afraid of extra stuff too! the fresh herbs did make a substantial difference to the pizza. Like lard to KL hokkien mee!
J3@N: so I guess its Red Dot lah! haha... lets go there earlier for pre dinner drinks.
Erin: how interesting! at first I thought the Boston Green Monster was some furry mascot till i read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Monster hahaha... yes they should ship that beer over!
