“Great Food”

I was only in Singapore for 3 days and ate here 2 nights running. I live in Brunei so was delighted to find an Italian restaurant with a real Italian menu right by my hotel. I had the Risotto al Frutti di Mare the first night, the risotto was perfect and the taste was really good, the squid was a touch underdone for risotto but cooked to the Asian standard so I was not surprised and it did not spoil the meal at all. I had a glass of house white, which was a very drinkable wine, but didn’t quite go with the tomato flavour of the meal, perhaps alternatives for the house wines could be available to the waiting staff depending on food choice?

Second night I had Bruschetta Pomodoro, which was perfect, great olive oil, beautifully fresh tomatoes on fresh bread still warm from being toasted, and just that hint of garlic and basil. Followed this up with a Pizza Rustica (mushroom and salami), the thin base was just right, seemed to be freshly made, and the tomato sauce which went onto the base was really good. The Lime juice I had the third night was a nice surprise, for those of you who travel in SE Asia you probably know they have everything extra sweet, well the lime juice here was still slightly sharp, just like you would get in Italy. All in all great food for very reasonable cost (approx $30).
