wherever there is good food, you'll find me. also where there's free stuff. i love free stuff. me and my mom went shopping for some cakes at cova the other day and they gave us a 50% off coupon for their lunch sets. so we went yesterday.
i chose the lobster bisque and the scallop linguine. i'm a visual person and i appreciate how they've laid out my meal. i mean it is cova and cova does do things right. the lobster bisque is creamy with plenty of lobster in it. cova has put a little twist to the dish by adding a small piece of garlic bread and sun-dried tomato and sour cream.
tip: eat the garlic bread before you start the soup, it cleanses your palette, giving even more of the flavour chance to seep through when you drink it
then the scallop linguine. i would have to say i prefer the soup more than the linguine, as i am quite a soup junkie myself. the linguine is a safe choice and even though it tasted good, it wasn't too special or original. on the other hand, my mother chose the carbonara and it looked really good. if you're a big eater, you'd be delighted to know it's quite a big portion. it doesn't look much, but it's quite the stomach filler.
overall it was a good meal, but it wasn't the best italian i've had. the lobster bisque is great and maybe try the carbonara. if you're from the uk, i prefer zizzi's or jamie oliver's italian.
