Sunday
Roast originated from the British and Irish, with the main purpose to
gather family members or friends on Sunday and to share a good meal.
Main ingredients that you can normally find on a traditional Sunday
Roast are Roasted Meat, Potatoes (Roasted or mashed), Yorkshire
pudding, vegetables and gravy.
During
my time in the Kangaroo land, my Australian family always have a
beautiful Sunday Roast regularly to celebrate the family member
birthdays. It is one of the special occasions that I really look
forward to. The meal are similar to the Brits, but with more Aussie
swagger. Such as the use of roast leg lamb and pavlova for desserts.
Yum!!

So
when I heard that Round House have a Sunday Roast and I immediately
check out the menu online, I just can't resist to give this place a
try. Prime Angus Roast Rib Eye and Bread & Butter pudding, I'm
sold. Of course, as a restaurant, you expect a different standard of
Sunday Roast. Such as Roasted potato with duck fat, beautifully done
Cauliflower Au Gratin and of course not forgetting the delicious
gravy on top of your Yorkshire pudding and the meat. Yum Yum!!

Basically
the Sunday Roast @ Round House is more of a buffet style. I skipped
the salads and go straight to the main meal. The Rib Eye are roasted
to medium rare with the centre part of the rack is pink. If you
prefer your meat to be more done, ask for the meat near the side. The
Chef sliced the meat to your preference.

The Star Attraction - Roast Angus Rib Eye |
The
Rib Eye is tender and juicy accompanied with a slightly thicken gravy
made from the au jus from the meat. (I am actually drooling when I am
writing this blog). The potatoes roasted with duck fat is quite
crispy but delicious. A little over crispy to my liking. The mash
potatoes are smooth, creamy and flavourful. Yorkshire pudding is
crispy and a great vessel to fill the gravy in it.

There
are salads and soup available, which we skip. For vegetables such as
carrots, peas and mushrooms are nicely done with a touch of butter to
bring out the richness in the taste. The Cauliflower au gratin is
crunchy and coated beautifully with melted white cheese sauce. Little
Devil preferred the one done by Aussie family Dad as it is thicker
and richer. But Round House version is just fine by me. We both
actually went for solid two rounds of serving, so it is very
satisfying.

For
desserts, it is nothing better than Bread and Butter pudding. It is
nicely baked chunks of bread, with crispy texture on the outside,
while moist on the inside. The Cream Anglaise has a nice light
texture and sweetness, instead of thick and heavy. Two thumbs up!!
From the top, anti-clock wise: Bread and Butter Pudding; Cream Anglaise; Assorted Praline's |
The
seating inside the restaurant is more of Pub style, where they have a
huge bar in the centre. You can seat at the bar, or for an indoor
proper meal you can be seated on the high tables and high chairs.
Regular size table and chairs are available at the outdoor dining
options, however these area are not air-conditioned. The tvs indoor will show any popular British sports.

Service
is very courteous, friendly and efficient. As it was raining quite
heavily outside, the place is not as very crowded. Price for the
Sunday Roast is $49++ with free flow of soft drink. $99++ for free
flow of beer and wine.
Overall,
the meal here got our seal of approval. The roast meat is beautiful
and most of the sides are perfectly executed. It really bring back
the nostalgic feeling in us. We will definitely comeback for more.
Cheers!!!
