Zucchini and Spinach Penne Apple and Cinnamon Crumble by being cooked with rice and can be prepared using either beef or tuna. Also offering diners a tantalizing selection of grills, Crust and Crema has something in the grills section for everyone from seafood such as grilled hammour fillet served with creamy lemon butter sauce served with parsley, potatoes, and vegetables, or the Surf’n’Turf Sizzler that is made with beef and seafood with mashed potatoes and vegetables presented on a sizzling skillet. Taking the grills to a whole new level is Crust and Crema’s Lava Grill; the meat is grilled on hot lava rocks, leaving it juicy and tender with a hint of smoky flavour, served with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. Diners have the options of enjoying a Beef Fillet, Rib Eye, Sirloin, Chicken Breast, or Mixed grill from the Lava Grill, and can select between mushroom, cracked peppercorn, and béarnaise sauce. To finish off the meal on a sweet note, along with the delightful pastry selection, Crust and Crema has introduced three special desserts: homemade sticky toffee pudding, apple and cinnamon crumble, and pistachio and almond parfait. The toffee pudding is a deliciously soft cake with toffee sauce on the sides and is scrumptious in every bite. The warm apple and cinnamon crumble served with custard on the side is perfectly crispy on the outside, and the warm apple cinnamon centre is bursting with flavours, and is complemented with the creamy vanilla custard. The pistachio and almond parfait looks akin to a Pavlova, but is creamy and the sliced pistachio garnish adds the right amount of crunch. The traditionalists can also indulge in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream, and the coffee aficionados can also enjoy the Affogato, which is an espresso shot served with ice cream. Already garnering success as one of the Kingdom’s most popular coffee house, the launch of Crust and Crema’s gourmet menu has inevitably increased Crust and Crema’s already strong and large following. Whether it is for a cup of hot or cold coffee, a cooling freshly made drink, or a filling meal in a cosy café-restaurant, Crust and Crema has well- established itself as more than a specialty café, and continues to brings to its customers fresh flavours, tantalising tastes, and exciting experiences every step of the way.
