Rocktober fest at Hard Rock Cafe

With Oktoberfest season going on, it isn't a surprise when Hard Rock Cafe has a festival around the same line. But you would in for a surprise that Hard Rock Cafe has a different take on this largest festival. Hard Rock Cafe has brought Rock 'n' Roll during Oktoberfest season, making a fun Rocktober fest for everyone. They have a lot of entertainment coupled with international beers, beer cocktail along with a menu which a rock star would love. The music at HRC just cannot be matched by anyone else with some amazing foot tapping music all the time.

While other sipped on some amazing cocktails, I enjoyed my spicy mocktail while we ate the lip smacking delicacies on offer. Carnival Feista, which had fries along with cajun spice dusted crispy tangy chilli garlic crust fries topped with bbq spice rubbed hand pulled chicken & smoked chicken frank slices, served with tangy salsa & cheddar cheese sauce. The portion is filling so get ready to share this on the table while you sip your drink.

With the kinda food rock stars eat, get ready to taste a variety of subs and sandwiches. I started with Jamaican Hotty Submarine which had Char grilled smoked chicken frank stuffed subroll, topped jemaican spiced stir fried veg & tangy cajun bbq mayo, served with spicy chilli fries. This was spicy and the first sub was impressive.

Italian Submarine was next which had tangy arabiatta mayo stuffed char grilled smoked chicken frank, chimi churi spiced onion peppers & topped with tangy pesto mayo, served with spicy chilli fries. This was more on the creamy side when combined with chilli fried, adds the twist.

Windy City Sub Roll was next which had classic american smoked chicken frank, cocktail sauce & tangy mustard relish, served with crisp chilli fries. The mix of cocktail sauce and tangy mustard had a tangy twist.

Last was Saigon Fusion Asian Roll which was an Asian bbq sub, flavour packed with grilled smoked chicken frank, crunchy asian bbq slaw, served with crisp chilli fries. This was the best of the night and I was glad I did not skip this.

While I enjoyed the non veg sub, Mexi Cali burger (veg), Mexican mafia submarine and L.A.Confidential veg burger was enjoyed by the veggies of the group.

Had to end the meal with a yummy dessert. To my surprise there was a new dessert on offer, Red Velvet Brownie Cheesecake served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. This is a must try at HRC and I really expect them to move this to the main menu.

Overall, the Rocktober fest was a surprise change for my palate and a different menu which Hard Rock Cafe has to offer. You can rock n roll along with some foamy beer, cocktails and lip-smacking subs from 28th September to 8th November 2015.

Rocking Breakfast at Hard Rock Cafe

Rarely I go out for breakfast. It should be something really good for me to step out that early in the morning. This time, I heard about 'Rocking breakfast' at Hard Rock Cafe. HRC and breakfast? Yeah this was my reaction too. What got me more excited was when I read, 'Pay what you think it is worth'. This was so nice to relish a hearty breakfast, the Hard Rock way.

Started my morning with some fresh juice, the juice of the day was pineapple. I was clueless on what to try so I had to take help from chef Niranjan for my breakfast table. Started with Justin's Loaded Savory French Toast, thick slices of brioche bread soaked in a savory cream topped with a spiced bean and mushroom mix served with a side of chicken sausage. I had a sample of it and fell in love with it with every bite. I went again to HRC for this again and again.

Next was Sweet French Toast, thick slices of brioche bread smothered with zesty orange cream, laced with cinnamon and topped with a mixed berry compote and maple syrup. The start of my meal was very good and I was impressed.

I then had The HRC Brekkie. Omlet made from 3 free range eggs, chicken sausage, served with sliced toast, grilled tomato, hash brown with some spiced bean. This is one filling breakfast plate. I have started liking spiced beans a lot. Next time I tried eggs in sunny's side up. I opted out of pork and bacon from my meal.

With some sugar rush I couldn't resist trying Chunky Monkey Pancakes, triple layered pancakes drizzled layered caramel sauce , melted butter and maple syrup. Dusted with icing sugar and topped with whipped cream and assorted berry coulis. Yummy indeed. I am going to try waffles in my next visit.

Savory pancakes had bacon due to which I did not have it.

There are so many more options to choose from dosa, poha, uttapam, chola bhatura, sandwich, waffles, smoothies, oats, etc. I ended my meal with a glass of Hot chocolate, just perfect :)

The offer or having a hearty breakfast and paying what you think is worth it stands between 15th April to 14th May, 8.30 AM - 11.30 AM. I am enjoying this so much that I have already visited HRC many times to try out the various dishes from the menu. Looks like HRC has come up with a breakfast menu which I would like in my day to day life, so what more do I need. I have many favorites from this menu :)
