Symmetry is a cafe by the day, restaurant by night.I was attracted to its rustic charm immediately when we reached. Nestled along Jalan Kubor, it is reviewed to be quite a popular place for brunch and dinners.
The restaurant is pretty small size, hence do remember to make reservations!
Starters: Grapes!When we tried this, I was sold T.T
The grapes were so yummy and addictive that we finished them up in a minute.
Pork Cheeks Pasta $26Tagliatelle pasta, mix mushroom, creme fraiche, parmesan cheese, arugula salad
The cream pasta was really good! Not a fan of pork usually, but the pork cheeks were so juicy and tender that I had quite a huge portion.
Lychee Mint $14Lychee, fresh mint, lime juice and brown sugar
This is a MUST-TRY!
Super refreshing and it puts you in a completely chillax mood once you take a sip of it.

The Extra Virgin Pizza outlet has a warm and casual ambience and the new branch at the United Square is spacious enough for long tables - great for large groups gatherings!
We were told that the pizzas are the mains available for Buy-One-Get-One-Free.
So it was PURE PIZZA night!All pizzas are hand-made and baked to order at Extra Virgin Pizza. And as the name suggests, Extra Virgin Pizza uses quality and pure extra virgin olive oil, and only globally sourced premium ingredients such as Italian double-zero flour, california organic Saporito tomatoes and premium imported cheeses and toppings.
With more than 10 unique flavours for pizzas, we spent quite a bit of time making our choices!
There were two chef recommendation/favourites ordered - Spotted Pig and Pistachio Pesto.Spotted Pig Pizza with tomato, mozzarella, pepperoni, pork sausage, applewood smoked bacon, parmigiano reggianoPistachio Pesto with pistachio pesto, mozzarella, baby arugula, lemon vinaigrette, pecorino, provolone
While the two recommendations above were delightful, my personal favourites are actually Mushroom Bianco and Seafood Pizza!Mushroom Bianco with mozzarella, roasted mushrooms and onions, fontina, rosemary, pecorino, truffle oil
This was sooo good even though it's basically just cheese and mushrooms! (okay, with a drizzle of truffle oil)
There wasn't any pizza sauce used, which allows the natural flavour of the mushrooms to ooze out as you bite into the pizza.
Do try this if you're a mushroom lover like me! Seafood with bechamel, prawns, clams, squid, cherry tomatoes, chili flakes, parmigiano reggiano, pecorino, lemon juice, shaved garlic
This came as a surprise favourite for myself as I don't usually take spiciness well. The seafood pizza came with some chili flakes which was considered mild and adds on to the flavour perfectly.
Ingredients used were very fresh. I like especially the squid which was Q and springy!

Had the chance to visit Supply & Demand at the Esplanade Bay Mall with OpenRice and Between App (Thanks!)
A modern Peruvian-Italian restaurant that serves really good food at affordable prices.

The cheapest parking nearby should be Marina Mandarin hotel (a short distance away, opposite esplanade) – only $2.20/entry after 5pm! We parked there and took a nice stroll to the Esplanade Bay.

The interior boast of a homely industrial chic style with its brass pipes, hanging incandescent light bulbs, brick walls, steel chairs, cemented seats, and huge warm-colored cushions peppered around to add on a relaxing composition.

Oh, not to forget, Supply & Demand houses a really cool rooftop bar. The open-air bar felt all cosy and romantic, making one yearn for a night long of chilling and gazing at the picturesque ferris-wheel.

The main courses - pastas and pizzas - are generally in the $15-$20 range. Pretty decent for a restaurant situated in such a centralized location and it comes with a splendid view of the MBS/CBD skyline if you’re seated at the alfresco area.

Tasting pasta - $11-$16
Full pasta - $15-$22

9" Pizza - $17
13" Pizza - $21

The menu has over 20 flavours of pizzas, so great news for pizza lovers!
The only down-side is, there aren't photos in the menu. Personally I find it hard to read menus that are purely in words. It would be good to have pictures of the Best-sellers or Chef’s recommendations at least!

Service-wise was fine for that minimal interaction we had with the service crew since it was an event and the OpenRice guys coordinated most of the stuff
Now, more on the food!


Fries with a Side of Guilt

The fries were presented in a metal tin container, in tune with the industrial chic style decor of the restaurant.
Though thickly cut, they were evenly-cooked and comes with generous servings of cheese! There is a choice of barbecue sauce at the side if you wish to add more flavour to it, though personally I don't see the need at all


Parma Ham with Arugula Salad

I'm not a fan of parma ham or salads, so I didn't exactly try the appetiser :X
Mel likes it quite alot though, citing it is one of the better ones he have tasted.

All'Arrabbiata $15
Classic Italian Fiery Hot Garlic Infused Tomato Sauce

"Arrabbiata" means "angry" in Italian, referring to the chilli peppers in the pasta sauce.
However, being a non-chilli lover, I could accept this dish perfectly! (okay, just slightly cheating with my iced drink lol) Apparently, the sauce has been managed to suit local taste more
An unique twist to this common Italian pasta introduced by Supply & Demand is the minced meat added to the sauce.


La Mattina Dopo $17
(The Morning After)
Tomato sauce, Mozarella, Bacon and Mushroom With An Soft Egg Set In The Center

Fans of runny yolks will probably squeal in delight like me
Mel and I shared the soft, runny yolk with a slice of pizza each, almost immediately after the pizza was served (after quick snapshots of cos heh).
The pizza crust was thin, crispy and yet fluffy to taste. Even the portion covered by the soft egg was not soggy at all.
Dough of pizzas are made in-house daily, and baked to order, ensuring fresh pizzas for you anytime!
Ingredients were well-spread over the entire pizza, though being greedy foodie us, we wished there can be more bacon/mushrooms if possible to make the pizza less "plain". But, the slight "plain-ness" could be due to the fact that we slurped up the runny egg too soon instead of spreading it over the pizza! Oops!


Textured Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel $11

This cake was amazing! I finished the bulk of it even though I was so full from trying the pizzas and huge portion of the All'Arrabbiata pasta earlier on.
Like I always tell my friends, salted caramel with chocolate will never go wrong..
Uneven sizes of chunky chocolate bits at the top, plus some tiny bits in-between the layers of the cake added to the texture - as the name of the dessert suggests - and gives extra bite to it.
The salted caramel was rich and just right, not too overpowering or underwhelmed by the chocolate.

Thanks for reading!

I'm sure many (especially KPOP fans) have heard of Full House - Korean drama featuring Rain and Song Hye Gyo, as well as the lovely theme cafe “Fullhouse Lifestyle Store and Cafe” previously located at Hotel Rendezvous.
Unfortunately, the latter has closed down.
But...FRET NOT! Fullhouse is now re-opened in Singapore at Clarke Quay with new management and the cafe focuses on its signature dishes more than before, hence, Fullhouse Signature <3

Now, here's the sweet deal for everyone! Fullhouse Signature is offering 1-FOR-1 main course, from today til 10 December 2013!

Without much further ado, let's take a look at the lovely theme restaurant. The management team has spent months sourcing for suitable decor and even having them custom-made overseas for the restaurant to ensure that every corner is perfect!
Crunchy Cheese Sticks $11
Deep fried cheese sticks coated with crispy breadcrumbsThis was one of my favourite dish out of so many even though it's simply mozzarella cheese coated with bread crumbs, I find the taste so divine~~ T.T


Fullhouse Ravioli $25
Special creamy ravioli stuffed with minced prawns, squids and spinachThe presentation of the ravioli once again surprised us Having an aesthetically-pleasing dish already makes customers 50% satisfied.
However, having tried authentic yummy ravioli in Italy personally, this dish was a little far from expectations.
The pasta itself could been a little thinner, either that or more of the fillings (and more cream please, yes!).
Perhaps each petal of ravioli could be made smaller, more bite-sized, for ladies to have an easier time to enjoy the food

Scallop Aglio Spagehetti $22
Smooth virgin olive oil with a touch of chili padi and garlic served with sauteed whole scallops
Molten Chocolate Cake $9
Chocolate cake filled with lava like smooth cocoaWe were slightly disappointed when there weren't any chocolate lava oozing out as described by the title of the dish :/

But right upon trying the cake, all my disappointments were gone!
The (not-so-molten) chocolate in the cake were nonetheless soft and slightly chewy, making the dessert so satisfying.
The strawberries were surprisingly sweet (not the usual sour ones we have) too!

Snow White on Fire
One of their signature cocktail, with a presentation style similar to flaming lamborgini, Snow White on Fire.The cocktail has citrus, honey and (plum) many other ingredient in it which makes it not only exciting to watch, but super delicious too! To me, it tasted like refreshing honey plum and I had to control myself not to have too much of it! :X Otherwise I'd be drunk pretty soon!

As mentioned, Fullhouse Signature is offering 1-FOR-1 main course, from today til 10 December 2013!

The ribs are GOOD.

Apparently, the waiters/waitresses aren't familiar with their menu & don't have any much common sense at all.
But if you can look past it (like we did), it can be highly entertaining and hence making it a hilarious evening for us.
As a 'compensation' though, the chef did come out and chatted slightly with us, asking for feedback on the food etc.
So, do not have too high an expectation when dining there and you'll enjoy it
Especially since the food is great!
