EGRILL & PIZA
Who would think that Japanese-style pizza and skewers go well together? Have your fix at eGrill & Piza at The Cathay, which offers both options at affordable prices.
The restaurant uses RoboQ, a special machine from Hong Kong used to grill skewers in two minutes, with no oil. Prices start at $3.90, with items such as teriyaki pork belly, salmon belly fin and Beef Kottbullar (Swedish meatballs).
From the pizza menu (from $9.90), pick from salmon mentai, Parma ham and seafood, among other options. Add side dishes to your meal, such as truffle fries with truffle salsa ($8.80), potato salad ($2.80) and ebi tempura ($6.80).
