Was scrolling around the phone and got to learn about the existence of The Artisan’s Table at The Rail Mall; these folks are located around the same stretch of shop where one can find establishments such as the outlet of Ya Kun Kaya Toast and the outlet of Luckin Coffee there. A relatively new addition to The Rail Mall, The Artisan’s Table is a little bit of a grocer-cum-cafe concept — there are retail shelves dedicated to the sale of imported food items on the left of the space whilst most of the dining furniture are placed in the middle of the entire establishment. The menu at The Artisan’s Table is largely restricted to Pizza and Focaccia Italian Sandwiches; there is also a line-up of pastries and cakes stocked up in the fridge, while they also do offer Cream Tea sets paired with scones and also gelato on the menu as well. Beverages served up at The Artisan’s Table includes tea, specialty coffee and drinking chocolate.
Having made our visit to The Artisan’s Table for their range of pizzas, we found ourselves opting for the Mortadella Pizza. This is being described to come with elements such as Fior di latte, mortadella, pesto, burrata and arugula — it is also noted that the pizzas at The Artisan’s Table are served with a thin crust. Taking a bite into one slice of the pizza, it is undeniable that the crust of the the pizza is the highlight here with the crust being light, airy and crisp — definitely the type in which that doesn’t get too jelak nor felt too dense. The portion of the toppings atop the pizza does come pretty apt; the combination of Fior di latte and burrata does give a milky and cheesy note to the pizza — this topped above the mortadella that is essentially the ham that also features nibs of pistachio within. Whilst coming with the savoury notes that one would typically expect out of ham, this was not too saltish — all that whilst the pesto helps to add a herb-y zing that cuts through the carbs, meat and cheese alongside with the slight bitterness of arugula that helps to provide a flavour contrast to the pizza.
