Brownie Sundae $13.80 almond brittle fudge ice cream, flourless sweet potato brownie, mocha crunch and cacao nibs

Passionfruit Sorbet 💰 / $6.90 Vegan ice cream that packs a punch of flavors. My order was the passionfruit sorbet with charcoal wholemeal cone (+$1). The sorbet was a tad too sour for my liking, it would be the perfect complementary flavor to a double scoop situation.

Fungi risotto While they were generous with the mushrooms, the risotto tasted a tad too uncooked to our liking. Suggest to give this a miss!

Carbonara Lucca's Trattoria has moved from its original spot at Robertson Quay to it's new location in Tiong Bahru (near the Tiong Bahru Market) and the new location is far more spacious now! Furthermore, the outdoor dining area is sheltered so for those of you who choose to dine outdoors, you no longer need to be worried about whether you will lose your table in the event of a downpour. 😁 We decided to try their carbonara and we were rather disappointed at the standard, however. First and foremost, we felt that the pasta used was really thick and too doughy - we suspected that they used spaghettoni although we think spaghetti would have been just right. The pasta also tasted pretty strange because it was rather firm and yet it was a little too thick at the same time, which didn't make the dish too enjoyable. While the gravy was pretty cheesy and decent, we thought that the serving was a little stingy and the restaurant could offer us more gravy to coat the pasta with. Lucca's Trattoria uses bacon strips that were 50% meat and 50% fats, and we absolutely loved the fats although some of us may find the bacon a little too gelat after a while given that they are pretty fatty. Nonetheless, we don't think the dish was worth the $26++ that we paid and we would be better off trying their other pastas or pizzas instead. 😰

Carbonara Decided on the carbonara because it came with a chef’s hat! Chef’s recommendation shouldn’t go wrong right? But well.. it really wasn’t the best choice. I’d say, stick to the pizza selections at Lucca’s! The pizzas fared way better than their pastas in my opinion. The spaghetti were a tad thicker than usual - not too sure what’s the pasta type here. Given it’s thickness, it could do with a longer cook time. It was not exactly al-dente. A tad too thick and not as chewy as we would love it to be. While the cream was great, the bacon slices were in a 50-50 ratio of meat and fats. It’s great at the first few bites but it does get cloying and exceptionally filling after some time. I’ve definitely tasted better carbonara elsewhere and unfortunately the rendition here doesn’t provide the same satisfaction as the others did.

Costata di Manzo ($88++) Tender, slightly fatty slab of 120 days grain-fed 380g ribeye served with fresh radicchio and some microgreens. Enjoyed the meat esp with the veal jus and parsley oil on the side. Would have been better though if served a little warmer. Veggies (a lot lol) were a great addition. The crunch from fresh radicchios give a good texture ——— 📍 Bar Cicheti 10 Jiak Chuan Rd, Singapore 089264 #burpplesg #barcicheti

Ravioli ($23++) This dish is a bit flat for me with the slightly bland roasted chestnut puree filling. The brown butter sauce & pecorino is good (I rmb the taste from my previous agnolotti dish here)

Rigatoni ($20++) Ordered as it felt to be a healthier choice (lol cause of the pesto). Happy surprise from the dried datterini hiding inside the small pile of green pasta

Crab parpadelle ($36) 🦀 5/5 This date night favourite may not have a distinctive name but Pasta Bar sure delivers. Their $30+ pastas pack so much flavour in their delicate portions that the 2 of us didn't regret splurging on 3 pastas during our exclusive night out here. This dish was the star of the night, and could be found on everyone's bar counter. The pasta looks strikingly jaundiced but don't be put off! Its colour probably has something to do with its deeply umami flavour. This was so unique we should have ordered 3 of these.

Tagiatelle ($34) 🍝 4/5 We thought we should get a pasta with a little meat so we ordered this tagiatelle full of tender, thick clumps of pulled beef. Definitely a delight for the senses but it couldn't beat the crab.

Ciriole carbonara ($34) 🥓 4/5 We were greedy for a third so we tried the ever-safe choice of carbonara. The ciriole sure was thick and chewy and definitely lent a unique house-made dimension to this dish. The carbonara was done the authentic dry style which was satisfying with the cheese at first but got a teeny bit clumpy in the end.

What Is Your Favourite Type Of Fried Chicken? Fried chicken is life. This dish is so iconic that almost every country has their versions of it. Everywhere you go, there is always a fried chicken you can fall back on if you want some comfort food. This is my first time trying Yardbird Singapore’s Chicken & Waffles which comes with 5 huge pieces of chicken that will be good for 2 pax sharing. The marination has seeped into the meat, making it very flavourful from each bite, and you can pair it with the honey hot sauce, classic American style. To go with the chicken, it comes with cheddar waffle with bourbon maple syrup and to cleanse your palate, there are cubes of chilled spiced watermelon. If you are there with a bigger group, there is also the whole bird option.

1/2 fried chicken + hot honey🔥🔥 somehow tasted even better takeaway and was really juicy!

Ice cream (complimentary for birthday) Surprised the ice cream was ok. Overall there's really no reason to come for the food, idk why ppl are hyping it up so much. You're paying a significant sum for subpar food. I didn't try the fried ckn so maybe that's their only saving grace, but idk why anyone would pay such a ridiculous amount of money for that either. If you must, come for the service. Some(the name of the Korean lady) was absolutely lovely throughout the night

The bestest local flavours Elevated zi char dishes, tasty and worth the price tag. Quite hard to get a table, gotta reserve early. Highly recommend!

Pan Roasted Angus Beef Tenderloin - $55++ 200gm nice portion but the restaurant is overall pricey. Beef was served with sauted greens and natural jus. Great taste and filling but hefty on your pocket.

Signature Foie Gras Xiao Long Bao - $25++ It's luxury meets dumplings. Uniquely filled with foie gras, instead of your regular pork option :) It's a great place to dive into asian flavors in the comfort of MBS. However, I felt the food was served below the temperature I expect asian food to be, which took away the fun by the time I got to the 5th dumpling because it was cold!

One of the best experience for our anniversary!! The experience here was superb and pleasant! More than just being friendly, the people here go the extra mile to explain every dish. We got quite the spread - the beef Wellington experience (a deal they’re having now at $98) along with the wine experience, the Sirloin steak at 300g, and the spicy tuna tartare. The beef Wellington was surprisingly big portioned and had a unique and delicious taste. It went well with the sauce! The sirloin was one of the best steaks I ever ordered. The meat was excellently cooked and the portion of meat to fat was just nice. We enjoyed it thoroughly. The spicy tuna tartare had a special kick to it with the avocado sauce. Something to try if you’re feeling adventurous! Lastly, the wine experience is to be bragged about. The wine experience add on to the beef Wellington experience (+$52) comes with 3 servings of white, red and sweet wine at every conjunction of the servings. Each tasted superb and it’s way beyond value with its exquisite taste. Overall, we had a great celebration and would give it an astounding 9/10!

Picture of the restaurant Lovely ambience to this restaurant with a view of the palm free and water, the food was also yummy!

the best dish here imo even though BSK is known for their fish & chips and beef wellington, they do their steak rlly well too!! we got the dry-aged sirloin 300g ($64) medium rare and it was soo good🥩 not melt in ur mouth but still vvv tender and soft. the sides were rlly complementary too - grilled mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and watercress
