Trip to Bucharest, Romania, 30 Oct - 5 Nov 2016 (Part 3) - trickSHOT Bowling/Restaurant

One of our best meals in the city of Bucharest in Romania was at this restaurant cum bowling center called trickSHOT. Located in Promenada Mall, a popular mall in Bucharest, this somewhat classy-looking restaurant caught our attention when we saw the variety that they offer on their menu.

Throughout our 1 week there, we actually dined at this restaurant 2-3 times! Yes, it's THAT good that we re-visited this restaurant & it became our favorite for this trip. We even told our colleagues who haven't been there for a meal & we had our team dinner there one of the evenings, where everyone enjoyed themselves & were so full with just the appetizers! Hahahaha...

One of the recommended items on their menu is their Bruchette cu creme de trufe si branza/Bruschetta with truffle cream and cheese. It was truly delectable that we went back for it the 2nd time! Not cheap, but OH-SO-LUSCIOUS!

Bruchette cu creme de trufe si branza/Bruschetta with truffle cream and cheese (RON18.00/ RM18.84 for 170g)

The distinct aroma of truffles is so evident! One piece is certainly not enough. I think I could eat the whole set of 3 pieces up by myself...hehehe...RM6.00/piece for such "luxurious" treat? Why not? At least ONCE!

We tried their pizza, snacks, some mains, salads & soup, all of which satisfied our hunger & planted in us a desire to try out as many items from their menu while we're in Bucharest! Hahaha.

Snack Platter for 2 Persons (RON34.00/ RM35.59 for 450g)

Dips of eggplant cream, yoghurt, & humus with slices of bacon, beef sirloin and smoked duck breast, plus pita bread.

This doesn't feel like a snack at all! We actually had this as a meal & we were stuffed...hahaha...we also shared it among 2-4 pax per portion! Talk about getting your money's worth for the quality of food served :) The eggplant cream & the humus were delicious when eaten with the fresh pita breads. The meat slices were somewhat salty, but when eaten with the pita or even the fresh garden vegetables, they were tasty.

Mediterranean Soup (RON20.00/ RM20.94 per serving)

Seafood, octopus, seaweed, cherry tomatoes

I thought this was quite delicious for a rainy night. I just wanted some soup & something that's not cream-based. The seafood pieces were fresh & the soup came with 2 large prawns, mussels, & squid rings in a slightly creamy tomato-based broth.

Chocolate Lava Cake with Vanilla Ice-Cream (RON21.00/ RM21.99 per serving)

Warm chocolate cake oozing with melted chocolate center plus a side of cold vanilla ice-cream. What's not to like? :P

It may not be the cheapest place to have a meal, but if you want a "safe" restaurant for a meal or even a place for team-building where both food & fun are present, I think you can't really go wrong with trickSHOT Restaurant ;) It was certainly a "trick shot" for us to have found such a gem during our short trip here at Bucharest. 'Til my next trip back to Bucharest, I shall continue dreaming of the bruschetta with truffle cream & cheese....mmm...mmm...
