Botak Jones, Holland Drive

Botak Jones, lamb chops

Botak Jones (43 Holland Drive), the brand that kickstarted this blog. Like 15 years or so ago. They've been resurrected after some business strife but they aren't the force that they used to be. We've much more options at this price point nowadays and in retrospect, the food looked less impressive today than it did in their glory days the past.

I don't know what to make of their lamb chops. Yes, those are lamb chops - marinated with rosemary (what era is this already?!), slathered in a creamy mushroom sauce which was pretty much also their mushroom soup and then a vinegary mint sauce? What am I expected to taste here? None of the flavours of the lamb I'm sure. This was the larger $22 portion and almost half of it were bones. 

Coleslaw is a little sour. For some reasons I had imagined a gratin dauphinoise for their double baked cheese potato. Tasted like mashed potatoes with cheese.
