Palio

Located at RWS and this is my 4th visit to this Italian Restaurant. I often patronized the place when I'm at RWS and wanted to find somewhere for some comfortable decent dinner.





















Complimentary bread



Soup of the day (Minestrone) 



The minestrone is rich with the taste of tomatoes and there are chunks of vegetables like broccoli in the soup.

Price: $12


Porcini



The mushroom soup is thick and creamy. If you are a fan of mushroom soup, this will be a must try for you. You are able to taste little bites of mushrooms too.

Price: $14


Prsociutto e Melon



This is my favorite antipasti and one of the must order when I have Italian food. The ham and the melon goes perfectly well together when you taste the saltiness and sweetness together.

Price: $20


Prosciutto e Funghi 



The crust of the pizza is thin and crispy. It is tomato sauce based with mushroom, mozzarella cheese and cooked ham. Although it is not as good as the one at Pepperoni (that's my personal opinion), it is also one of the better that I have tasted. It's definitely worth giving it a try.

Price: $26



Pici con Aragostelle e Zucchine allo Zafferano 



The pastas are homemade and fresh. This is eggless Pici pasta (a thick hand rolled pasta liked a fat spaghetti) cooked with crayfish meat and zucchini in Iranian Saffron Pistils cream sauce.

Price: $28

Strangers Reunion

There was so much hype about this place and even after so long there are still constant recommendations to Strangers Reunion. And here I am to check out what was all the hype about.

When we reach, the place was rather packed but we were lucky to get a seat very quickly. Guess we were there earlier than the lunch crowd. When we left there was a long queue outside the cafe.

Simple menu, typical breakfast, bites, desserts and coffee. There were quite a number of Caucasians around, much more than the other cafes that I have been to. So I was thinking if this place suits their taste more.





 


 Magic and Flat white


The flat white is pretty ok. Not the best but it is ok for me. The one that is darker in colour is Magic. It is on the menu that this is said to be a magical ratio of coffee and milk and they are the first to bring it in to Singapore. It is too bitter for me.

Price: $4.90(Flat White), $5.50 (Magic)


Eggs on Toast with Honey Baked Ham



I've chosen Focaccia for my toast and scrambled eggs.Added Honey Baked Ham to complete my breakfast. Basically I feel that the scrambled eggs are not runny enough. It can't be compare to the one from DOC. The colour is lighter and it doesn't goes well with the tomato relish.

Price: $10.50 + $4.50 (3 slices of honey baked ham)


Buttermilk Waffles with Homemade Berry Compote wit Ice Cream



I will prefer the butter taste of the waffle to be stronger and the berry compote to be sweeter. The berries are a tad too sour for my liking especially when this is served as breakfast.

Price: $14.90


This is really different from my expectation of this place. However the number of people queing outside when I left and the full house cafe tells me that people do like the food/drinks here. I suppose we just share a different taste. Not so much for me especially when the price is not exactly cheap.

The Tiramisu Hero


The first thing that you get amazed by this place is the layout and the doodling on the wall. You see white ladders sticked on the ceiling and the white walls make the place look bigger, cleaner and brighter.







Seriously, even the toilet! It makes me wanna stay in the toilet forever. It is so clean and when you look up, there are so many colourful poms poms hanging from the ceiling.












Baked Chessy Chicken



The boneless chicken leg is baked with cheese, served with mushrooms, greens and some biscuits.

Price: $17


Bangers with Mashed Potatoes



I do like the mashed potatoes as it is not too mashy and I can tasted some small chunks of potatoes. The taste of the potatoes are strong and it is thick too. The sausages are a little dry though.

Price: $15


Tiramisu


We ordered 2 MommaHero. One is chocolate and the other is Horlicks. Both taste just as good. I have tried the Milo flavor one before and I like that even more.

Overall, I would say that I only enjoyed the Tiramisu. The food was so so. And I guess for the same price, I can get much tastier food. I would really love to see improved version of food served here as I really like the layout of the cafe.
