My draw, his recommendation. Again! It's three times in a row already! Where's mine? T.T This time, it was supposed to high tea at Fairmont Hotel, but I really wasn't feeling it (and it was out of our budget in this 'game'). Paying S$45+ for just french pastries? Not for me even though I love pastries. How many pastries can one eat before they feel full? Nah, no go no go. I rather pay that price and go for seafood buffets.
A last minute decision to try Dean & Deluca over at Hillv2. Little did we know that it was closed on 29 March for #rememberingLKY. So we ended up at Italian Osteria iO which was located at a corner of Hillv2.
The store display at the front resembles Marche, but in a more orderly fashion. Look at the yummeh pizzas!
Cool cutlery!
Hot chocolate with whipped cream on the side - S$5
A slice of pepperoni pizza - S$9
Yes, a slice of pizza. You did not read wrong. I thought one slice is like the kind that Pezzo sells and the taste better justify the price paid. When this was served, bf and I were shocked. If this serving size is merely one slice, how big is the 'medium' or 'large'?
This.pizza.is.so.darn.good! It has a chewy texture to it despite being thin crust, and not too crispy like eating biscuit. Definitely wins Supply & Demand hands down in terms of texture and the generous serving of cheese. The only downside is the limited variety.
Baked cut potatoes in rosemary salt (which was wedges) - S$9
U.S. Rib Eye - S$32
Bf claimed that the seasoning was real good, though the cook could be better. The salad on the side didn't have any dressing on it which was a major booboo. The 'wedges' was the same as what we ordered above, apart from different salt as seasoning used.
Baked Risotto - S$16
I honestly did not like this dish, at all. Never ever order baked risotto because over-cooked risotto is plain disgusting. The serving size was so crazy that there's not enough sauce to go with the 'rice'. I stopped eating after a few mouths because it's plain torture. However the staff was really nice. She spotted my dish untouched and came over to ask for feedback, then she said it's possible to add more sauce to the dish. Yay! It did taste better with more sauce, but the whole dish was too heavy and I got sick of it after eating a few more mouthful.
The service was really *thumbs up* because the staff actually bothered to take feedback on the food and also try to enhance the dining experience. Well, definitely coming back to try all their other dishes, and of course, their full size pizza! Haha!
A quarter of 2015 is going to be over! Back to books ..........
