This carbonara was done the authentic way with the sauce made of eggs and cheese instead of cream. We were really looking forward to this because we are all suckers for truffle but this kinda disappointed us as the truffle aroma was really faint.

Mad for Garlic definitely impressed us! Would definitely recommend getting their Garlic Snowing and Tom Yam Pizzas and the Garlic Ragu Fettucine. The portions were VERY generous, with each pizza having 8 big slices, 5 girls shared 4 mains and found it just enough! 🤩🤩 Interestingly, we couldn’t taste much garlic in the dishes, apart from eating the whole cloves, or maybe we were expecting really garlicky dishes… but we enjoyed our meal! Mad for Garlic doesn’t take reservations, so do come earlier to queue as it can get quite crowded.

The sauce was RICH and the beef cubes were cooked till tender and absorbed the ragu sauce really well. Okay one thing though: the whipped cream on top was definitely uncommon and we weren’t very sure what it was for but we guess it made the dish more interesting and…creamy?

This was the wildcard…none of us had ever had a tom yum pizza before and we were surprised that it worked! It was definitely more of a creamy tom yum sauce on the pizza, the lime - which brought sourness and acidity made it really palatable!

The favourite for the night! The garlic snowing pizza convinced us that pineapples belong on pizzas HAHA the cheese is shaved at your table to bring the ‘snowing’ element! Kudos to the staff who went and got a second block of cheese after we wanted more (oops!) The finely diced pineapple really added a fresh sweetness that went SO well with the cheese.

Handmade pasta in various flavors paired really well with the ingredients, the sauce complements all aspects together. Delicious! Portion per plate is good for 1 pax

The tagliatelle was bellisimo and Al dente! For the octopus dish the ratatouille was the star of the dish! Good place for Italian but the glass wine was so so..

Not too heavy taste, risotto not hard as well. Paired with sliced of cheese on top, balanced flavor.

Some complimentary bread never hurt, especially if served warm and crusty and this delicious. The drinks are priced reasonably too with wines starting from $12 per glass and $48 per bottle (ps there’s free bubbly for ladies on Wednesdays too).

I enjoyed this seafood stew that came with two huge prawns. The stew itself had a rustic coarseness but was flavourful nonetheless. A starter worth ordering.

Went for this because of the squid ink dough. Squid ink was subdued and couldn’t detect flavours of ink, but hey, our eyes eat too don’t they? This leaned towards the thin crust variety which makes for a good toppings to flour ratio.

I usually like my pastas al dente, but strangely found myself falling in love with the texture of this overcooked gooey gnocchi. Doesn’t hurt that the sauce was tasty and they were really generous with the pulled duck.

First thing the waitstaff said to us was to recommend the Barramundi Al Cartoccio, the most expensive item on the menu at $78. But went for the small portion instead so as to try more items. A beautiful piece of fish that was fresh and moist, served with a delicious tomato based stew. A real steal at this price.
