[CLOSED] Bowler by elia

Had my lunch at .Elia on Deepavali and the food is great. I liked it that the chef got the flavours accurately right and it's amazing that they can make such wonderful flat white. The coffee is adequately creamy and sweetness well balanced without me adding sugar. Really awesome!

Under a new management, they now have an extensive new menu with rice bowls and even pasta that's made in-house!

My pick of the items we ordered would be this rice bowl featuring five breaded pork cutlets coated in a fragrant curry sauce. The tonkatsu was tender and fried to perfection but I really wished there was more of that yummy curry sauce which went really well with the garlic fried rice below. If you're rushing, you might want to note that our orders took a long time to reach us (teething issues maybe?), so plan again if you're dropping by.

This charming bistro/cafe has the perfect atmosphere for brunch, from the concrete counters to the natural light streaming in.

This molten lava cake was not the richest I've tried, but makes up for it with its moist texture and unique notes of basil (sounds strange but it works). Wish it were slightly bigger because chocolate is never enough!!

Freshly made pasta with brown butter sauce and generous chunks of Italian bacon, this is one very addictive bowl of pasta. Its flavourful, rich in taste and definitely draws the attention of your taste buds. .Elia certainly has pretty good culinary skills but service speed needs loads of improvement. You can head down for some good affordable food provided you have a lazy afternoon to spend there...

First time visiting .Elia at Jiak Chuan Street in the Keong Saik area and it was great! We had Spice Girls (handmade linguine with curry sauce and grilled chicken) and Three Little Pigs upsized (pork katsu with curry sauce, cabbage, plus add-ons). The linguine was al dente and the grilled chicken was perfectly seasoned to complement the curry sauce. My partner absolutely loved his katsudon. The staff were lovely as well. Would definitely recommend this place, as we had the best cafe experience here, in Singapore. Far better food served as compared to most cafes. Will be back to have more for sure!! 😛
