8 ½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA

8 ½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA first opened up in Alexandra House on January 2010. Ever since its initial opening- this restaurant is still packed daily, to the rim.

8 ½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA first opened up in Alexandra House on January 2010. Ever since its initial opening- this restaurant is still packed daily, to the rim. With a waiting list of 2-3 months (still)! If your lucky, there might be last minute reservations and you can score an exclusive seat inside. The restaurant is still littered with more Michelin Stars in the shortest amount of time! The third Michelin star finally arrived in December 2011- "the Restaurant became the first and only Three Michelin Stars Italian restaurant outside Italy". That is a some feat! One of the most decorated restaurant in the city! They even opened up a branch in Shanghai in 2012. A small bar lounge resides in the front, as you walk inside the lobby/lounge area- you arrive into a spacious, luxurious, bright, cosy, classic and comfortable dining room area. (There's also private dining rooms). I've been here twice before but finally dined there for lunch, and finally got the chance to photograph and blog about it!!
Lucky me.

 We start with a nice fresh bread display! I had some of the crisp bread and bread sticks! The service is excellent...Well at that price (its expensive)...It better be! For lunch you can get a lunch set upwards of $700-$1000+ or a la carte. Most of the mains are all above $300!

 FREE Lobster, Iberico Ham and Artichoke Salad.... This light salad among the desserts were on the house! The reason is a bit ...alarming. The sharp, saltiness of the iberico ham was great. The fresh, plump and tender lobster meat was perfectly seasoned! Nice.

 Homemade Cavatelli shellfish ragout and sea urchin sets you back $340 for lunch!! But it was every bit worth it. Juicy, plump lobster, with such a fresh tender piece of sea urchin. The seafood soup is delicious, decadent and rich. I loved the creamy, full flavour and texture from the cavatelli pasta! Perfect filling lunch.

 I ordered the Modern Tiramisu! I ordered the tiramisu which had been deconstructed from its usual form. It was made with mascarpone cream, coffee panna cotta, and creamy homemade ice cream, and some juicy bread pieces soaked in wine. It was great! Loved the lightness, creamyness and milkiness of it all!
