[CLOSED] Otto's Deli Fresh

All my fav ingredients in one dish - mixed mushrooms, truffle cream sauce, spaghetti and parmesan cheese! Not to forget the runny egg on top. The sauce was a little too much and heavy, hence making it jelak towards the end. But the mushrooms were cooked well, and the pasta was of the perfect al dente texture.

I really liked the onsen egg in the pasta dish, but the overall dish was slightly too creamy for my taste.

Pretty average food in my opinion!

A comfort food dish served in a relaxed, quiet environment. With al dente linguine tossed heavily in olive oil, I pretty much enjoyed how fragrant this aglio olió style pasta was, except that they could probably reduce the amount of olive oil so that the pasta wouldn’t have been coated in oil. Nevertheless, the chopped garlic and chili made up for it along with super plump fresh prawns. Slightly pricey but worthwhile with the entertainer app. Do note that there’s a specific menu if you are using the app.

Don’t estimate this place because of its appellation (‘deli’) or appearance - a doorless eatery on top of an escalator. Not only it’s a proper restaurant with several chefs in the kitchen, but it’s the junior branch of the famous Otto Ristorante by Maxwell’s Chambers. The revamped menu now is more ‘adult’ than before. Pastas are good, perhaps a bit under salted but maybe that’s in line with being in the Raffles Health building. Reasonably-priced wines, although not many wines by the glass on offer. Charming service staff - could be a bit more pro-active though. No need to win the lotto to eat at Otto’s.

Grilled Aust Grain Feb Angus Beef Rib Eye - $34
·
Weighing at 180gm, the angus beef steak is cook to your prefers doneness. I requested for medium, which was was quite nicely done. The steak is grilled so the external still have a slight smokey flavour. Steak is of a nice texture, lightly seasoned by salt and pepper, maintains the steak’s original flavour. Comes with hand cut fries & mesclun salad. Their seasonal potato soup with salted pork taste rather good, cost $9.90, and great for sharing

While the restaurant was having a steak night special menu, I was still attracted by this S$34.90 ribeye steak that was on the regular menu. True enough, the dinner was marvellous because the 180g of beef was juicy and tender, yet grilled sufficiently to give that classic smoky and inviting taste. The hand-cut fries (which appeared more like wedges) were chunky and very lightly seasoned. If the meats had been disappointing, the potatoes might have stolen the show.

And since I was already here, my side-note about OTF was that their soup of the day was so good that I could have the whole bowl to myself, even though the serving was relatively comfortable for two pax.
