Food and price were actually sooo good! Loved the tagliatelle the sauce soooo delish but felt that the managerā€™s attitude changed completely when she heard we were using burppleā€¦ like she didnā€™t even look at us when talking to us compared to the friendliness showed when sitting us down šŸ„²

Wasn't a big fan of this dish, felt a bit dry and the chorizo wasn't to my preference.

This risotto was also done well, it had a citrusy herby taste that was quite unique. The grilled prawns were good here too, juicy with a nice bite and flavour.

Peach, Floral Blossoms, Honey

This white sparkling wine made from Moscato was delish! It was light and with floral with tiny bubbles, perfumed with the scent of honey. Their curated wine collection is exclusively distributed by them, you can only enjoy wines like these over here. They currently have promos going on, so it's defo a good deal!

I learnt recently that a well-cooked risotto should spread out to be flat, and this was. This was one of our fav dishes here. The creamy risotto had truffle paste, porcini, pecorino romano, it was mushroomy yet not surfeiting or salty. Rice was cooked well, not too hard or soft, and I thought the crispy mushroom topping was a nice touch

Spaghetti was al dente, and the grilled black tiger prawns in garlic was pretty good - it had a nice char and wasn't overcooked. It came piping hot so it was extra tasty!

I am not typically a fan of cream in carbonara because they drench the pasta in cream, but I liked this dish - their aged brandy cream was delicious, providing moisture and depth of flavour. They used an appropriate quantity such that the cream coats each rigatoni, hence the pasta was not jelat at all. There's pancetta, mushroom, pecorino romano, and egg yolk that added more flavour!

Maybe because we didn't have it immediately, it wasn't as crisp as I had expected. They use truffle paste and not truffle oil (which is mostly chemicals! so truffle paste is better I feel), which gave a subtle truffle aroma. If you dislike the pungent truffle oil smell you'd like this.

Sourdough was pretty good! Crusty edges (but not hard), soft pliable inside, and a slight tanginess. It's not as sour as my fav sourdoughs but the texture was to my preference. It was served with their pesto, marinara, and a mushroomy sauce.

Interesting but the panko-crusted burrata didn't do much for me, but the basil sauce was yummy! Herby, bright and refreshing. We mopped it up with the sourdough.

Loved both pizzas!! Pepperoni had the right amt of savoury and Mario truffle had the right balance

Yum! The pork was lean and meaty but still tender and juicy, with generous servings of cucumber, kimchi radish, lettuce, and seaweed. I really liked the kimchi radish, it was sour and crunchy, not too raw or soft. I prefer a fried egg over a raw egg. Only thing was that my rice didnā€™t get crisp and crunchy at the bottom even though I gave it time to have surface contact with the dolsot, Iā€™m not sure why haha

Their side dishes were great too - ikan bilis was puffy and crisp, not superrr salty and served with crunchy roasted peanuts. Kimchi was great too!! Very refreshing and crunchy, with good flavour, slightly spicy. Broccoli was normal, potato Iā€™ve had nicer (maybe because I didnā€™t have it cold). I didnā€™t have the beancurd skin.

They also serve roasted tea here instead of normal plain water. Iā€™ll say 50% of the Korean restaurants Iā€™ve been to serve roasted tea so I canā€™t take it as the default, hence it is a plus point
