Showing places for "Pizza Newly Opened"

Quiet and exclusive Italian restaurant! Elixir was a great choice for our Wednesday dinner. Located in the rather new and quiet estate of Parksuites, it offers an exclusive experience of Italian food served with their unique twists. A must try is their deep fried burrata, it was topped with balsamic pearls which I tried for the first time and appreciated a lot - a very thoughtful addition to the dish’s texture and overall flavor. Excited to be back to try the other items!

Amazing pizza Relaxing ambience, awesome service, and delicious food. Favourite of the night has to be the fried mozarella, the little pearls added much texture and taste to the dish! Pizza and pasta were done well too.

Pasta Night Amazing food and leaved it all. Especially the Bismark Blanc pizza and Deep Fried Burrata. The sourdough pizza was flavourful and cooked perfect. Deep fried burrata was a unique twist which my partner and i enjoyed tremendously

Pepperoni Pizza Sengkang has rarely seen itself being in the middle all of the action that is happening within the local F&B scene — that being said, there are some pretty unique stalls that open in the various coffeeshops situated in the neighbourhood once in a while. Was tipped off by @raineraineeataway about this new pizza and gelato stall named Pizzato that had recently opened in the Kopitiam Corner coffeeshop at Blk 308 Anchorvale Road; the coffeeshop being located just opposite Tongkang LRT Station on the Sengkang LRT Line. Pizzato occupies a stall unit that is located right beside the Kopi Kiosk (i.e. drinks stall) at the coffeeshop — the coffeeshop also houses other stalls such as that of an outlet of Pandan Gardens Fishball Noodles (PGFN) as well. It is not difficult to locate Pizzato in the coffeeshop; Pizzato’s bright pink signboards are pretty attention-grabbing — the logo comprising of a pizza that sits atop a waffle cone with one slice of the pizza being in red and positioned slightly offset from the entire pizza. It is however noted that the signboard of Pizzato also mentions the brand being “made possible by thatsmypizza and SWIRLIES” — the former being that of the stall at Bukit Timah Food Centre serving up pizzas (also an establishment which we had visited some time back), while SWIRLIES is an online-based hand-crafted plant-based gelato business that is also founded by the founder of Pizzato. As the logo and namesake of Pizzato suggests, Pizzato serves up pizza and gelato; the former being available only during lunch to dinner service from 12 noon to 2pm and 5pm to 8pm respectively, while gelato is being served up all-day. Glancing through the menu on the various pizza flavours that are available at Pizzato, we did find Pizzato’s offerings really similar to that of thatsmypizza’s — whilst the range of flavours available are smaller, those whom are familiar with thatsmypizza would find some familiar flavours such as that of the Rosemary Garlic Butter and the Applewood Bacon on the menu of Pizzato. Considering that we have had the Applewood Bacon Pizza at thatsmypizza previously, we decided to go for the Pepperoni Pizza during our visit made to Pizzato on a weekend dinner service. Perhaps the stall is still rather new and relatively unknown when we made our visit to Pizzato; there was not much of a wait involved with our food order and we were paged to collect our order in less than 10mins, being also the only ones whom have ordered from the stall during that time period. All pizzas come in the size of a 10” pie; best to be shared amongst two pax. While the menu board does not describe what goes into the pizzas here, their website mentions that the ingredients that go towards the making of their pizza dough comprises of Italian extra virgin olive oil, Italian 00 flour and Sea Salt, while the Pepperoni Pizza comprises of elements such as tomato base, mozzarella, extra virgin olive oil, pepperoni, and shaved parmesan. thatsmypizza is pretty known for their long fermented, hand-stretched pizza dough and we are glad that the folks at Pizzato stuck to doing the same — we did feel that the pizza crust at Pizzato comes a wee bit thicker with more bite at Pizzato than at thatsmypizza, but the chewier and thicker crust was still pretty easy on the stomach and goes with the “reduce bloating” claim that Pizzato mentions about their pizza dough on their website. The Pepperoni Pizza is otherwise a rather conventional pizza that is a crowd pleaser; gooey and stringy melted mozzarella that comes with that cheese pull, all atop a bright and tangy tomato-based sauce and savoury slices of pepperoni for the salt-ish note typical of cured meat, there is nothing not to love about the Pepperoni Pizza here. Needless to say, the Pepperoni Pizza was an easy eat that didn’t feel particularly jelat. Having only tried one of the few pizzas that Pizzato has to offer, we must say that Pizzato does really remind us of our experience at thatsmypizza rather closely — whilst both establishments are somewhat associated with one another, there is also some resemblance on how both establishments operate. Artisanal pizza stalls such as thatsmypizza are a rare find within hawker centres and coffeeshops, and Pizzato is just that — pretty much the same as thatsmypizza; there is also much likeness in their pizza crusts even though there are very slight differences in the way the final product, but we appreciate how Pizzato has managed to achieve pretty much the same consistency where they had made their pizzas feel particularly easy to have on the stomach as well. Apart from the Pepperoni Pizza, we had also given the range of SWIRLIE’s gelato available at Pizzato a try; opting for the Oolong Osmanthus and the Pulut Hitam flavours, the former was particularly impressive — there are many places that have jumped onto the bandwagon of serving up such flavours but the Oolong Osmanthus here has very defined notes of tea from the Oolong, as well as a prominent floral note coming from the Osmanthus that packs quite a punch. The Pulut Hitam was also right on-point; a slightly more mellow flavour as compared to the Oolong Osmanthus, the Pulut Hitam comes with noticeable flavours of black glutinous rice with nibs of black glutinous rice for a bit of chew — adds on to the texture, whilst also well-rounded with notes of coconut milk. With prices of the pizzas being in between $16 to $20, the pizza offerings can be said as pretty affordable especially when shared amongst two pax; the gelato is also pretty wallet-friendly with all flavours going at $4 a scoop — a $1 top-up applies if one were to opt for their gelato to come with a waffle cone. Pizzato is a rare find within Sengkang; a little bit of a shame that it is located somewhere deeper in the heartlands but it is still relatively convenient to get to with the Sengkang LRT Line — a spot worth making the trip for.

Trofie Al Pesto It’s been a while since I had freshly hand made pasta that tasted this good. Whilst a trofie is not (meant to be) al dente, it’s delicate and matt texture absorbs all the wonderful pesto keeps you chomping down more. The garlic cream, basil, olive, pine nut and sundried tomatoes all comes so well together with the trofie pasta from north Italy. Without a doubt, this would be my pasta of choice for a pesto. I almost forgotten the Queen calamari which my dinner partner found it interesting, but I was too focused on the pasta.

Polpette Traditional meatball in basil-ginger tomato sauce. This was certainly not the item in the antipasti menu that I would have gone for if not for the persistent recommendation by the serving staff at Fiamma. It’s a MUST have! And wow aren’t we glad we took the recommendation. Mopped up so quickly with the plush focaccia 😋 Mamamia!

Costoletta Di Agnello Alla Brace Char-grilled lamb cutlets, done medium rare, in Taggiasca olive jus was non-greasy but full of succulent flavorful meat and right amount of fats. The olive juice was simply delicious and kept me wondering if this would go as well with what other food. The fried gratinated polenta is a tat disappointing.

Wagyu Beef! Came here for lunch! Got the Wagyu Pizza($32), Hamburg Set($23.80), Striploin Sando($52), Gyu Tongue, Chawamushi($5), Ebi Sando($28). Wagyu pizza was good. Thinly slice waygu over a crispy base, topped with refreshing ginger flower and drizzled with truffle oil. Hamburg Set was ok. The salad is your typical vegetable with some kewpie dressing. The meat was not bad. Moist, juicy and soft but wished it was crispy on the outside. Striploin Sando was good. Perfectly cooked meat with some mustard in between two fluffy yet crispy bread. Gyu Tongue was a little on the tough side. Chawamushi was bad. Did not have any dashi taste. Tasted like your regular steamed egg that you can get from a cai fan stall. Totally not worth my $5. Ebi Sando was not bad. Crispy prawn patty with tartar sauce that reminded me of McDonald's ebi burger. Overall would recommend the beef but skip the other items.

Japanese Charcoal Grilled Hamburg The signature Gyu San Hamburg Set ($23.80) comes with two 90g wagyu patties, Japanese rice, miso soup and green salad. The beef patties were served on top a personal mini grill with charcoal blocks underneath it to keep the meat warm. Savouring the pure flavour of the patties on their own, they were the juiciest and most tender hamburger that I ever had. There was a nice smoky charred flavour from the sizzle of the grill.

Hamburg Set With a pretty concise menu, Gyu San Charcoal Bar’s Hamburg Set ($23.80) was quite the substantial treat - great for slow and big eaters who can fill up with the free-flow rice as well as miso soup. Expertly grilled over the binchotan charcoal grill and served on a personal mini grill to keep them warm, the two 90g wagyu patties were both tender, succulent and juicy. Packed with finely diced onions and other seasonings, the patties were also wonderfully flavoured and especially so with the charred exterior. Overall, great even without the small array of condiments and not too greasy or cloying.

Wankerz Aglio Olio Found the new Willy Wankerz which had recently just opened its doors along North Bridge Road around the Kampong Glam neighbourhood — we had only chanced upon by establishment during a separate trip to the area to check out yet another F&B establishment that had recently made its move to the same neighbourhood. Taking over the former premises of a Mexican eatery (the shophouse it occupied used to also house the now-defunct MOTORWERKS), Willy Wankerz is an American diner-cum-bar that is set out to bring back the best of the 1980s; the space is being decked rather simply and mainly features black and turquoise walls and wooden furniture and fittings that are repainted with white paint — stickers adorning the walls, alongside a brightly-lit menu board on a wall closet to the entrance of the diner. The menu at Willy Wankerz is relatively simple — sectioned into Bites, Mains, Pizza, Pasta and Desserts, the emphasis at Willy Wankerz does seem to be more towards their beverages, which sees quite a list of alcoholic beverages being listed. With most of the menu items listed being pretty much simple Western fare that seem to be positioned to compliment their selection of booze, we found ourselves going for the Wankerz Aglio Olio, which comes with elements such as bacon, mushrooms, onions and chill. Basic as it may sound, the Wankerz Aglio Olio was a really well-executed plate of pasta; something that had exceeded what we would have expected to come out of a kitchen of a gastrobar of its sort. Here, the Aglio Olio comes with ample bits of bacon and mushroom so you do get that slight hint of savouriness from the cured meat, as well as the earthiness of the bouncy mushrooms all caught in between twirls or the pasta. The pasta is tossed in just enough olive oil and garlic for flavour and a good, slurpy texture — the olive oil being there for aromatics and to provide for that textural aspect to the noodles, while the bits of garlic just gives the pasta a garlicky fragrance that gave some flavours contrast. The chili padi added to the Aglio Olio was totally on point though — gave the entire dish a fiery kick that tingles the tastebuds even for those who are tolerable to moderate levels of spiciness; adds to the shiok factor of the dish. All in all, a dish that we found ourselves mopping up clean in no time. Despite its quirky name, Willy Wankerz does seem to have exceeded our initial expectations that we have had in our head when it comes to such gastrobars around — we found their signature Wankerz Aglio Olio and Wankerz Burger (i.e. a “Juicy beef burger with special Wankerz sauce” as described in their menu) both very appealing options despite being somewhat items that does away with the unnecessary fusion factors; very simple, fuss-free food that is actually well-executed and even better than what some cafes could whip up. No doubt they seem to have a focus on being a watering hole, but Willy Wankerz might well be a spot for a simple dinner and drink even when spending the night alone after a day at work; you know those days where one just needs a well-made dinner without all the fluff, and perhaps maybe a pint of beer on the side whilst in solitude. A dining option that we would certainly not mind considering if we are out of options to go for whilst being in the Kampong Glam neighbourhood.

OSTERIA BBR by Alain Ducasse has launched the refreshed Spring menu that celebrates the rich flavours of the Italian Riviera and the vibrant springtime bloom. With the assortment of seasonal produce such as asparagus, green beans and green peas, diners can expect these in-season ingredients to be incorporated into the dishes. One of the key highlights is the Risotto Acquerello, which is an unanimous favourite for the rich flavours paired with a poached langoustine for the added luxury. A touch of lemon zest is added to balance the richness so that you will not feel surfeited and can keep going back for more. The other creations include the Burrata Pugliese, Capesante Scottate, which are seared sea scallops paired with green peas and almond condiment, Lattuga Marinata of marinated romaine lettuce with poached lobster and the Carre Di Agnello Alla Griglia of charcoal grilled Australian lamb racks carved tableside. Complete the meal with the refreshing and tangy Limone Di Amalfi that comes with a mint sorbet. •••••••••••••••••••• 🍽️ OSTERIA BBR by Alain Ducasse 📍 1 Beach Road, Raffles Hotel Singapore, Singapore 189673

Mezzi Paccheri Alla Guancia Di Manzo E Barolo Osteria BBR had been a spot that I have been wanting to make a visit for a long while; glad to have finally made the visit thanks to a chance opportunity of a spontaneous dinner where it was only arranged a day before. Entering from “patio” area at the back of Raffles Hotel, the main entrance to Osteria BBR is tucked at the side of the building; stepping into the restaurant and one will be greeted with a clean aesthetic that sees white and red being the main colours used throughout the entire restaurant. There is really a great incorporation of the building’s style against the interior decor of the restaurant — the colonial-era elements such as the windows seemingly blending well into the modern aesthetic so well; the middle of the space being dedicated to the kitchen and food preparation area, while the dine-in area surrounds that afore-mentioned area so diners can get to see the action going on without being seated by the counter seats. Visiting Osteria BBR during dinner service, they serve up both an ala-carte menu and a prix fixe set menu — the former being segmented into sections such as Antipasti, Pasta E Risotto, Pizza, Da Condividere (i.e. sharing plates), Secondi Piatti (i.e. main course), and Dolci (i.e. dessert). They also do have an extensive list of alcoholic beverages available; patrons can also opt to have coffee to go along with their dessert if they wish. There were several highlights to our meal at Osteria BBR, but our favourite would possibly be the Mezzi Paccheri Alla Guancia Di Manzo E Barolo. The dish features Paccheri pasta and Barolo-braised beef cheek; one would not be wrong to call this Osteria BBR’s rendition of a braised beef cheek pasta. The waitress had asked us if we would like our pasta to be done al-dente or slightly past al-dente; the reason being the Paccheri pasta being a little thick and it being done al-dente meant that it could be a little firm to some — ordering the pasta to be done slightly past al-dente would bring it closer to the texture of a typical pasta that is done al-dente. We eventually requested for our order to be done in the normal way (i.e. al dente). Being a tube-shaped pasta, the Paccheri pasta carried quite a bit of bite — we could see why the waitress had forewarned us about the texture of the pasta and asked us for our preferences earlier; that being said, we totally enjoyed it being al-dente, considering how it was pretty toothsome with all the tender and savoury braised beef chunks that saw the infusion of red wine in the braising process. The braising liquid pretty much acted as a “sauce” to the pasta, giving the pasta this luscious flavour — the braised beef adding that meaty touch without being particularly gamey. All in all, a really enjoyable dish that we found comfort in. Our meal at Osteria BBR is nothing short of enjoyable — other items that really stuck an impression with us were the Polpo, Spuma Di Patate, Profumi Mediterranei (i.e. Octopus, potato foam, Mediterranean scent), Costoletta Di Vitello Alla Milanese, Insalata Di Rucola E Pomodorini (i.e. Veal chop Milanese-style, arugula salad, cherry tomatoes) and the Baba Al Limoncello, Panna Montata (i.e. Signature baba, limoncello, whipped cream) — the Polpo, Spuma Di Patate, Profumi Mediterranei featuring a well-executed octopus leg that carried a good bite with a bit of crisp char on the outside that is in no way rubbery, while the Costoletta Di Vitello Alla Milanese, Insalata Di Rucola E Pomodorini had a golden-brown batter yet with the flesh done with a pinkish centre; crisp on the exterior and tender inside; the exterior crust somewhat bearing a resemblance to Hainanese-style biscuit-battered pork chops that we found to especially appealing. The Baba Al Limoncello, Panna Montata ended the meal beautifully; one of the most subtle Rum Baba that we have came across to-date where it wasn’t too overwhelmingly heavy on the alcohol, and carried a gingery undertone in its finish that was pretty refreshing. It is without a doubt that we would find ourselves craving for quite a number of the items that we have had at Osteria BBR — the experience was a good one on the food, but made even better with the service crew that knows their stuff; takes pride in introducing the items for guests to make a decision on what to order, yet willing to engage in small talk with patrons at appropriate times. A spot that works for dates, anniversaries or just a fancy catch-up; definitely a spot we would like to return to again!

Indonesian Fried Rice💰$18.80 we ordered this because we wanted to try the satay (cheaper than ordering the satay itself) but it only came with ONE satay stick 🤣 nonetheless a hearty bowl of nasi goreng. fragrant rice and tender fried chicken! we cut the pathetic satay stick into 4 small parts, couldn’t enjoy it fully to comment 😅

Rumours Pizza💰$27.80 standard pizza that will never go wrong. wished there were more vegetables on top to cut through the grease.

Cumi Bakar💰$35.80 wasn’t hopeful about this dish as i expected it to be rubbery but it blew our minds! really tender and soft, the sauce goes really well with the squid and coupled with the atmosphere and smell of the bbq mixed with the sea it transported me to bali even though i have never been there before 😂 served in 3 whole pieces which was really generous. the accompanied chilli sauce also packs a punch!

Pizza Galore Philly Cheese Steak Pizza: 3.5⭐️ / 5 Redeemed my 1-for-1 specialty pizza here. The Philly cheesesteak pizza was great! However, the meat lover pizza (2⭐️ / 5) was just average & was on the dry side. But will definitely be back for a quick pizza fix nonetheless!

Pasta Enjoyed the carbonara, rich, creamy and cheesy. Sauce sticks to the pasta well. Chicken pieces didnt taste that great.

Mushroom Aglio Olio 1⭐️/5 Applicable for burpple 1-for-1 [$12.90 including GST] Chosen Aglio Olio with spaghetti. The pasta is topped with mushroom, garlic and chilli flakes. The pasta tasted dry and very spicy. The mushroom does not match well with the pasta. I would recommend the pizza instead.
