Welcome to Newton.

Beautiful pizzas, wood fired made fresh in front of you.
Prices are a little high but currently they are running a 1 for 1 offer on takeout.

Affogato coffee is authentic but average tasting.

A must try if you like pizzas fresh and you are around bukit Timah. I recommend the salmon and spinach pizza for $30

Whilst my pictures don't do justice to Chef Makoto’s intricate creations, I have to document the intriguing and scrumptious omakase experience at Ami Patisserie. Available at the 8-seater Tsudoi private dining room, the Chef’s Table Discovery Experience (worth every penny) would set you back by $118++ per person.

To start, the 2-bite Piedmont Hazelnut Financier was more than lovely - a good sign of what is to come with a glorious balance of butteriness and plenty of roasted nuttiness with the aromatic hazelnut shaving on the top. Then came the bread course with butter and amazing sourdough - don’t you dare skip on the exquisite Iwa Nori Escargot Bun which dreams are made of.

Next, a decadent number with his signature craqueline choux which came crisp, crumbly, and savoury. Piped a la minute, the Japanese egg mayo was bangin’ not sure what is in it exactly but yums. Embellished with crème fraîche, Schrenckii caviar (all that briny flavour without being salty), hanaho and Sudachi zest (that refreshing tang was chef’s kiss).

Followed closely behind was the beautiful Shizuoka Tomato Tartelette which came at the perfect time to somewhat refresh the palette. Think sweet Japanese Amela tomato with umami cheese flavour, and a herbaceous touch from the basil, all on one sugar cookie dough base. A favourite. After which, a rich Japanese Uni Brioche arrived with cake-like textured brown butter bread, lime cream, finger lime pulp and vibrant sea urchin.

Deep fried and then grilled on the charcoal, the Nasu Brulee was complete with miso caramel and miso ice cream. Perfectly sweet and savoury - a good introductory dish for eggplant haters. The deceptively simple La France Pear was nicely done too with pear sauce, chamomile mint gelee, yuzu and pear granita.

A fun take on tiramisu, the Marble Dark Chocolate was so delightful as well - not too boozy or rich with a wonderful medley of textures; the Chef can do no wrong. And right before we end the pastry-led tasting menu with a flakey wedge of Kumquat Pineapple Pie, the Ichigo Milk allowed the sweet juicy fruit to shine.

The sweetness from wolfberries complimented the light herbal silken hen consommé; though the black truffle chicken dumpling was abit of a letdown

Smallest portion

The fish dumpling has a very savoury flossed meat texture, probably has dried fish inside. Good

Fishball is curd like, homemade and huge but otherwise nothing special

Soup sucks

I don't think it's rlly impressive if you've had good fishballs elsewhere, at least not as much as its mich rec may suggest
