There’s no need for me to describe or show pictures on the hip interior deco here, as many of them have been posted on magazines and other reviews here. I think it’s more interesting to give some different views on the food.
Starter － Arancini Margherita (Mozarella Risotto Ball with Tomato Sauce)
Medicocre. Actually you may find it in some localized “Italian” restaurants (I mean pizza hxt, spagehettx houxx), but it’s the “best” dish in the meal.Side dish – Crunchy Veg Salad
According to the menu, it should be dressed with lemon, mint and yoghurt. Unfortunately, it didn’t work with what is expected. There’s only a tingly taste of lemon juice.
Side dish - Apple Coleslaw
A better one with a balanced sweet and sour flavor, but there’s too much beetroot which didn't mix well with other ingredients. I can only say It’s not a common coleslaw, but I prefer the typical one more.Pasta –
We ordered the Fresh Crab Spaghettini and Squid Ink Spaghetti, both in regular portion. The staff told us in detail that their pasta are all homemade and have al dente texture. Very disappointedly, the pasta were the worst part! First, there’s not enough sauce, ending up both pasta were a bit dry. Second, the pasta stuck together on the plate which made it quite unappealing to dig in, and you knew instantly that it won’t be hot enough. Third, it was NOT al dente at all. Far from being al dente, it was too soft and floury. You really could feel the flour on the pasta. There’s no point to highlight their pasta as the signature dish.Dessert – Epic Brownie
The brownie looked like some dry stuff you can get from supermarket. It’s not even lukewarm to melt the caramel ice-cream on top. To me, ice-cream is always the “safest” dessert, but the popcorns garnishing around the dish were too sweet and made the ice-cream and brownie tasteless.
Dessert - Lemon Meringue Pie (Forget the name exactly)
A balanced taste of sweetness from the “meringue” and sourness from the lemon custard. The so-called meringue was actually whipped cream. The lemon custard is not creamy at all. It feels like something between pudding and jello, which made it a bit fake. My friend commented that the lemon tart of Starbuck was even better. I totally agree with her.I came here without much expectation, but its food was really a total disappointment. Not sure if it’s the standard quality or its just my sheer back luck, but it's all frustrating. I don’t think we will come again, or recommend others to come here.
