Spaghetti @ Bukit Timah Hawker Centre

Mien
Specialise in Pasta, and price range from $3.50 to $4.00.

Chicken Pesto

The Pesto is pretty good, rich in herbs and garlic taste, but a tat too oily. Although its Chicken Pesto, theres not much chicken slices in it....

Seafood Pasta in Tomato Sauce

This is better... less oily... or maybe no oil at all! But its a bit too wet. And just like chicken pesto with few chicken, this has few seafood...

As the stall of the name is "Mien", i guess the nice thing about it is just really the "mien" or pasta... not so much about the meat that is in it.

Paper-wrapped chicken

Since i am a protein lover, how can i just have carbs without any protein? So i ordered Paper-wrapped chicken, from some stall, and apparently, this stall's paper-wrapped chicken is famous! 5 pieces cost $4... The Chili Sauce is very nice... but... as i tear the paper off... a massive amount of oil oozes out... but its really yummy...

Esmirada Pizzaria Giardino

My 2nd visit to this place. Reason being theres a 1 - 1 promotion for dbs card holders and their pizza is thin crispy and wood-fired pizzas, and their pasta are reasonably good.

Portobello $25 (L) $20 (R)

Mozzarella + Parmesan + Goat Cheese + Scamorza + Basil + Portobello Mushroom + Caramelized Onions + Roasted Garlic = Portobello Pizza! Between the thin crisp lies a generous amount of Portobello Mushrooms and the smells lingers in your mouth after the first bite. It was not too cheesy, so the taste of the mushrooms are not overwhelmed by the cheese.

Say Adios to Pizza Hut!


4 Portobello Shrooms / 5 Portobello Shrooms!

Tortellini Alla Amatriciana $18

The tortellini were stuffsed with Sautéed Bacon, Sweet Onions and Garlic, served in Basil with Tomato Sauce.

4.5 Tortellinis / 5 Tortellinis

Bruschetta $ 9

Toasted Garlic Bread with Balsamic Tomato Salsa. The Garlic Bread was wood-fired just like the pizza, and the salsa contains big chunks of Tomatoes. However for some reason, the Salsa taste more like Tomato chunks more than anything else.

3 Bruschetta / 5 Bruschettas!

Tiramisu - Their Award-Winning Recipe

True enough, this was indeed their award winning recipe. I never enjoyed tiramisu until yesterday! The different layers have very distinctive taste of Rum, mascarpone cheese, espresso and Masala wine, and the base layer ladyfinger of the Tiramisu have the strongest rum taste.

Anyway some interesting fact about tiramisu!

The Italian name tiramisù means "pick-me-up" (metaphorically, "make me happy,"), which could have a more sexual meaning!
