Being a fan of Chef Mitsuru, the former executive chef of Waygu Takumi, and knowing him is opening a new restaurant Operetta, which is a fusion between Japanese and Italian, we just couldnt wait to try out.

Locates at Pacific Place at Admiralty, it is a cosy and casual setting restaurant. It is definitely a more down to the earth enviorment that will suit lot of people. We tried their lunch set, which consists of 3 courses. For appetizers, we picked the mixed green vegetables and beef cappraccio. Boy ... it didnt disappoint, the beef cappaccio is definitely one of the best I have ever had. The thin slice beef has such an outstanding flavour that matches so well with the salad and with just a bit of orange dressing that makes a perfect appetizer. I dont really care if this is really Italian or not but it is simply delicious.

For main dishes, we picked the pan fried cod fish and spring roasted chicken. The chicken is so juicy and tendered that matches very well with the light foie gras sauce. The pan fried cod fish is good but in my opinion the chicken is better.

For dessert, naturally we pick our favor tiramesui. In my opinion, the key for a good tiramesui is the level of sweetness, temperature, texture, and smoothness. That combination sometimes is hard to mastered. Operetta has definitely done a good one as it fits my above criteria along with perfect amount of nuts in between. Really outstanding!

Overall, Operetta definitely has some potential and I am eager to see in the future how Japanese twist can further meshed with traditional Italian. Definitely will come back again as we have yet to try out their pizza and pasta dishes.
