we had a bruschetta, like a panini sandwich with ham & tomatoes. it was good!^^

seafood bouillabaisse with toast – S$14

seafood bouillabaisse with toast – S$14

the italian version of seafood bouillabaisse was very good standard – flavourful soup, good ingredients for S$14.

beef carpaccio – S$16

beef carpaccio was ok. beef was sweet, good cheese & rockets. i guess a boring dish. 🙂

calamari – S$14

calamari – S$14

calamari (our “sotong”) was not so good, squid was a bit tough. nothing like the calamari fritto i had recently at la braceria, but that cost a ridiculous 2.5x price!

rice suppli stuffed mozzarella cheese – S$9

rice suppli stuffed mozzarella cheese – S$9

the crispy rice stuffed with mozzarella was quite ok too…errr…like lots of carbs..

cheese ravioli

ravioli was good standard but expensive. i think it was like S$28.

porchetta with fennel – S$9

porchetta with fennel was great dish for S$9.

porchetta with fennel – S$9

too big for 1 pax, just nice to share among 3 or 4pax. we had 6pax.

lamb rack

lamb rack was to me below par, and expensive. not that it was expensive here, but these things are expensive in restaurants. 3 large pieces, but really i do a much better lamb!

keylime cake

youngest daughter wanted to have key lime pie, it was not too bad but not my kind of dessert.

i will certainly come back for the seafood bouillabaisse, bruschetta, porchetta, and don’t mind the crispy rice too.^^
