If you have been around Lavendar area for cafes, Trywhitt road is possibly not a stranger to you. With about 10 minutes walk from nearest MRT station and in its strategic location which is at the prominent corner of the road, let me introduce this place to have your Italian fix without burning a hole in the pocket.

1 Trywhitt Bistro & Bar is relatively new and she's only about 2 months plus old. 1 Tyrwhitt is a Family owned business with their relatives working in the operations. With an Industrial chic vibe and tall ceiling as well as dim environment, its definitely a good place for chilling . Opening daily from 11.30 to late night except for Tuesday, this is another piece of good news for drinkers.

The standard size of the Pizza is 12" thin crust whereby they were made from the scratch, hand crafted and achieving its standard of crisp with oven baked method.

The Truffle wave is such strong that it hit me the moment when it was brought in front of me. Thin crust was covered up with black and red which I did not take any notice on its ingredients earlier on as I was too taken away by the Truffle hit. The pizza was a total good start to our meal with generous servings of mixed mushroom, Mozzarella & Parmesan cheese, on a bed of even spread pasta sauce. Well that's not all about the Black Truffle and I would say the one stealing the scene will be the Egg placed in the middle as a centre attraction which kept the table lively with question like "who's going to poke the egg". Eventually, the friendly owner took the lead and spread yolk evenly on the pizza and everyone of us enjoyed the bite without further wait.

Black Truffle Egg Pizza

Black Truffle Egg Pizza - $23.80

While the Meat Lovers Pizza was rather ordinary with ingredients like American pork pepperoni, ham, bacon, chicken and pork sausage and mozzarella cheese as toppings.

An ultimate choice for those who adores cheese, especially blue cheese. It is also labelled as one of the healthier choice pizza. I was literally engulfed by the blue cheese when the pizza was about some distance away. A cheese heaven with 5 types of cheese catered in, Mozzarella, Scamorza, Gorgonzola blue cheese, Taleggio and Feta Cheese.

The generous batter, its crispy and crackling exterior completely taken me away with a tad spiciness in between the bites.

Chicken Mid Joint

As a chef recommendation and healthier choice, the grilled salmon definitely lives up to its name for its skin was well grilled to crisp yet having the orange flesh of salmon succulent. Lemon butter sauce had elevated the dish with a zesty flavor. If you are worried of any fish odor, worry not, you are safe here. Grilled vegetables & potatoes had also complimented the dish well.

Luscious slab of chicken chop grilled to its robust flavors with brown sauce complimenting the dish was awesome. Sides like sauteed mushrooms, mashed potatoes and vegetables were great as well. A popular choice you might not want to miss out.

Chicken Chop - $16.80

Dressing up in its savoury brown sauce with potato wedges and home-style vegetables as sides. The slow cook pork chop was tender and it just felt like having a medium well done steak.

Having known of its simplicity as a dish, I did not have much expectations on such basics of the pasta. It gave me a surprise opening with its Al Dente Perfection pasta, traditionally flavoured with garlic topped with wild mushroom and Tiger Prawns.

Seafood Marinara was good whereby assorted seafood like Mussels, squids, prawns, fish, scallops and prawns were served in simmered tomato sauce. The tangy broth and the Al Dente texture from the pasta is something worth to take note of.

Seafood Marinara- $17.80

If you are all about creamy and rich pasta, their style Carbonara bacon will simply floats your boat. Creamy sauce is derived from egg yolk, cheese, black pepper and streaky bacon. However, even though my preference is towards creamy, I will like something watery base as it can taste a little bit dry over here.

Carbonara Bacon

Have been looking around for a Panna Cotta that suits my taste-buds and I was pretty impressed that the chef had it freshly made by their own. Panna Cotta was wobbly, silky smooth, served with mixed berries and Raspberry coulis strike the right notes, giving it both a sour and sweet aftertaste.

Besides Panna Cotta, their velvety Tiramisu is one of the hits too! Besides serving with mixed berries, it was strongly infused with Espresso and liquor which ends the night perfectly with satisfying desserts.

To enjoy 1 Tyrwhitt at value price, do visit them over lunch till 2.15pm (last serving) for a 30% off daily except Tuesday.

Thanks Karen, Paul & Elle for inviting.

[ 1 Tyrwhitt Bistro . Bar . Cafe ]
A partnership of 04 started this food venture along Jalan besar area around 3 months ago. Comprises of a married couple, Paul & Karen, whom specializes in providing domestic help/ maid services for the past 12 years and their 2 other friends.
The whole unit was big and spacious. Area was divided into 02 sections, bar counter with tall tables and chairs occupies half the unit and dining takes up the other half. Bosses may want to create a cosy feel for all patrons by using yellow bulbs throughout the whole bistro, but resulted in causing the whole place to be quite dim at night.
(A) Crispy mid wings $10
Snacks before the dinner starts. These wings are so crispy smacking good even after more than 10mins of photography. Great choice to go with beer.
(B) Black truffle egg pizza $23.80
The appearance of this pizza already wins my heart when landed on the table, so pretty! Very instagrammable too. Taste? Very truffle. No need much description as truffle covers any taste. If you're a truffle person, loves truffle on any of your dishes, then this is your jackpot.
(C) Aglio e olio pasta $16.80
A common pasta dish found at most Italian restaurants but chefs at 1 Tyrwhitt bistro did a great job in their own version. Toss the al dente spaghetti with the broth, garlic and wild mushrooms all together, take a big mouthful of it and it's fireworks! Prawns are fresh and crunchy too.
(D) Meat lovers pizza $19.80
To all non-beef takers out there, a piece of good news. This meat lovers pizza consist of 0% beef whereas those sold elsewhere usually consist of beef pepperoni. Ingredients used here are American pork pepperoni, ham, chicken, pork sausages and topped with mozzarella cheese. A very hearty piece of hand crafted pizza filled with generous meat portions & oozing cheese. Great choice for meat lovers indeed!
(E) Seafood Marinara pasta $17.80
A bowl filled with generous servings of seafood such as squids, mussels, prawns, scallops and fish. Base was homemade tomato sauce but the overwhelming sourness of the sauce eventually covers all the natural sweetness of the seafood. What a pity. Linguine texture was soft too.
(F) Grilled salmon $20.80
I'm not a fan of cooked salmon but this dish tastes decent to me. The lemon butter sauce highlighted the smell and taste of this grilled salmon with a little zest.
(G) Chicken chop $16.80
Accompanied by sauteed mushrooms, whipped potato and savoury brown sauce that has hints of ginger. Meat was well marinated and tender. No wow factor but a decent choice for dinner.
(H) Pork chop $16.80
Meat portion served was very thick and it was slightly undercooked in the center. Slow cooked with herbs and drizzled over with brown sauce. I only wish the meat could be least tough and done well.
(I) Cheese Lover Pizza $19.80
A tasty hand tossed pizza . This Pizza consist of 05 types of cheese: Feta, Gorgonzola Blue Cheese, Scarmoza, Mozerrella & Taleggio. Pizza crust was so thin and blue cheese taste was very prominent. It's either you love it or hate it and I choose to LOVE IT.
(J) Carbonara Bacon Pasta $16.80
This is my first time trying out carbonara with egg already blended in the sauce rather than exposing on top, didn't work out for me. The dish was too heavily creamed, I can only swallow half mouthful of it. As for the Bacon slices, they should have been done more crispy to enhance the flavour.
(K) Tiramisu $8.80
Heavenly match of Espresso & rum. Heavily soaked in coffee ladyfingers were so soft and moist, presenting us the "melts in the mouth" texture. The baker who made this dessert sure is generous in the alcohol content, it nearly got me drunk.
(L) Panna Cotta $8.80
Panna cotta was really jelly and smooth. Mixed Berries & rasberries coulis pairs well with the silky pudding, leaving the fruity aftertaste lingering in my mouth.
Verdict: Staff are very polite and attentive. Prices here are reasonable too. Strengths are in their pizzas. I will come back again to try out other pizza choices.

Located literally right a corner junction is 1 Tyrwhitt Bistro & Bar, at just 3 months old, it is a very new establishment. The owners are also new to the F&B business and putting in their all to make this a welcoming place to all their guests!

The outdoor dining area had a very simplistic and yet practical feel. I can totally imagine chillin' here with your bros and "people watching" since this is facing the main road.

The seats inside the shop were very cosy and comfy. You could definitely feel like you were walking into a bar, but then again, as you waltz in further, you will notice the sofas in the corner and the dim lighting. The owners mentioned that they wanted to create a comfortable environment similar to your living room setting, that you can bring your friends and family to hang out. It is a very sincere concept and I can definitely feel the results of what the owners are trying to do here.

There is a high ceiling that provides a warm and airy ambience to the restaurant. The bistro and bar serves up Western and Italian cuisine, the menu includes a variety of pasta dishes, pizza, western dishes, colourful salads, and more, as well as a range of artisanal coffees, alcoholic, and non-alcoholic beverages to compliment each meal.

The menu consists of a wide variety, from alcohol, finger food to pasta, pizza, tiramisu and other desserts.

Crispy Mid Wings (SGD$10.00) *Highly Recommended*

Crispy Mid Wings

As simple as chicken wings look, they can be very different in taste and texture. A lot of cafes are starting to offer chicken wings in mid-wing style similar to those wings places you find Stateside. Whereas, in typical Singapore setting, you expect the whole drum-wing-tip as one piece of chicken.

Crispy Mid Wings

The chicken wings here being mid-wings make it easier to eat, without making a mess in front of a potential date. They are extremely crispy and yet not oily at all!! I watched a table of customers get served a plate of this and the aroma filled up the entire restaurant. No kidding!

Crispy Mid Wings

They are pretty sizeable despite being just a mid-joint. The batter around the chicken wing isn't too floury and they stayed crispy despite us, foodies taking a long time to snap pictures of them. By the time we started eating them, there weren't as piping hot as when they came out of the kitchen. But each bite or should I say crunch, indicated to my taste buds that these are freshly fried chicken wings for sure!

Black Truffle Egg Pizza (SGD$23.80)

Black Truffle Egg Pizza

One of the owners were highly raving about this dish and we were intrigured by it. The looks of this dish was very appealing and the sweet smell of truffle was addictive. We couldn't wait to dig in, but the owner showed us the way to eat this pizza.

Black Truffle Egg Pizza

To start off, you had to smear the egg yolk all around the pizza till the whole pizza is covered in the yolk before slicing up the pizza. With the yolk drenched pizza, the crust became slightly more soggy and it was slightly more difficult to cut up the slices. The pizza was interesting indeed, but I felt it was a bit plain.

Meat Lovers Pizza (SGD$19.80)

Meat Lovers Pizza

This meat lovers pizza is fully packed with American pork pepperoni, ham, bacon, chicken and pork sausage, topped with Mozzarella Cheese. It sounds, looks and tastes just as the description say it does. I love their thin crust and the texture of it. I checked out their kitchen and noticed their industrial grade oven. That oven alone says alot about the owners and their pizzas. This owners are definitely very serious about their pizza game!

Cheese Lovers Pizza (SGD$19.80)

Topped with Italian cheese - Mozarrela, Scamorza, Gorgonzola blue cheese, Taleggio and Feta Cheese, this is one strong cheesy smelling pizza. It is not for the feint hearted. There were some people who couldn't really stand the strong smell of the five cheeses. The blue cheese especially has a very strong and distintive smell. For myself, I could bare with the smell but I could only stomach one slice. With all the cheeses combined, each mouthful was quite "gerlat". I would say this pizza is catered to the more western tastebuds.

Aglio e Olio (SGD$16.80)

Traditional garlic flavoured pasta topped with wild mushroom and tiger prawns. It was served in a big and clean dish. It was beautifully decorated. You could see some effort was made to make this dish presentable.

The tiger prawns were decent in size and they tasted rather fresh and crunchy as well.

The noodles were a bit harder than I would like, but the taste of it all, was on point, not too garlicky and the mushrooms were juicy and the chefs were generous with the ingredients.

Carbonara Bacon (SGD$16.80)

Carbonara Bacon

This dish had rich and creamy sauced based from egg yolks, cheese,black pepper and streaky bacon. Usually you would find one egg on top of a carbonara which you then have the pleasure of mixing it around the pasta. But here at 1 Tyrwhitt Bistro & Bar, they mix the egg yolk into the pasta cream sauce for you. You then get a eggy and yet creamy sauce with a salty taste thanks to the bacon. Here again, you can see that the chefs were yet again generous with the ingredients. You are guaranteed a slice of bacon in every mouthful! I enjoyed this plate of Carbonara, this is a plate of carbonara done right!

Seafood Marinara (SGD$17.80)

Seafood Marinara

Fish, Prawns, Scallops, Mussels and Squids simmered in a fragrant tomato sauce and served over pasta. Here again, lots of ingredients, but the pasta is also a bit harder than expected. I think 1 Tyrwhitt Bistro & Bar is still new to the business and is trying to get their al dente pasta done right. Other than that, seafood lovers would love this, the sauce wasn't too salty, you could taste the essence of all the different seafood mixed into the sauce.

Chicken Chop (SGD$16.80) *highly recommended*

The chicken chop sauce was so yummy, to all mushroom sauce lovers, this is the one dish to try here! This dish consists of a generous slab of chicken grilled to perfection, with savoury brown sauce with mashed potatoes and sauteed mushrooms.

The skin of the chicken chop was crispy and delicious. I am a huge fan of sauteed mushrooms and the sauteed mushrooms here were addictive. I think I cleaned the plate off of the mushrooms!

Pork Chop (SGD $16.80)

This pork chop wasa highly recommended by the owners and is probably going to be labeled as their signature dish. It is slow cooked to perfection and topped with savoury brown sauce, served with potato wedges and home-style vegetables.

Apparently you can choose the doneness of the pork chop, we choose medium-well, but in the centers it was more pink than the outside areas. I took a bite from the outside and it was juicy and tender. I loved that this was not a typical thin sliced pork chop, but rather a super thick slab of pork, and probably because of its thickness, the chef had trouble trying to get it medium-well done? I'm not too sure, but we had our pork chop re-fired up and everyone was delighted to tuck in the second time round!

Grilled Salmon ($20.80) *highly recommended*

Sprinkle of zest and a dab of lemon butter sauce to beautifully highlight the flavour of the grilled salmon. It is served with grilled vegetables and potatoes. The salmon was very fresh and the skin was so crispy, I enjoyed it so much.

The vegetables were also fresh and you could tell some one spent time to clean up and pretty up this slab of salmon. For $20.80, you definitely get your moneys worth! The salmon is huge for the price and also very juicy and tasty!

Panna Cotta ($8.80)

Freshly made Panna cotta served with mixed berries and Raspberry coulis. These desserts are seriously some of the hardest desserts to get done right and for a first time cafe. They've got it spot on! *clap clap*

The smoothness of the panna cotta can only be explained when you slide your dessert spoon into it. The sweetness is complimented by the sourness of the fresh raspberry coulis. I thoroughly enjoyed this dessert and I know I'm coming back for more of this dessert!

Tiramisu ($8.80) *highly recommended*

Homemade velvety Tiramisu served with mixed berries that melts right in your mouth! I spoke to the owners to confirmed that this was home made and the owners mentioned that initially they had the tiramisu supplied in, but the didn't like the quality of it and decided to invest time and resources into making their own Tiramisu. DEDICATION! Hear that?! Some cafes definitely need to see how real cafes do it! For $8.80, you get a slice of tiramisu goodness that is pretty much a one way ticket to happiness. The softness and the rich mixture of alcohol, puts this on one of my most favourite Tiraimisu in town!

Kronenbourg Tower 3L ($76 / $49 Happy Hour)

Kronenbourg Tower 3L

Kronenbourg Tower 3L

They also serve towers of alcohol and have happy hour pricings.

The owners are on the right track and this place definitely has a good feel and taste for food. Their prices are reasonably and I can foresee myself bringing friends on a weekday night to chill out with food and beers.

1 Tyrwhitt Bistro & Bar is a 3-months' old new bistro on the block. A rustic restaurant / bar / bistro with minimalistic decor - bare bulbs suspended from ceilings, simple furniture, and sliding metal grille gates preserved in style - 1 Tyrwhitt Bistro is Karen and Paul's first venture into the F&B scene. The couple is really affable, down-to-earth and made us feel like home literally, bringing us from the kitchen to the dining areas.

Crispy Mid Wings

Then food happened, starting with Crispy Mid Wings (SGD$10.00), living up to its name accurately, being ultra crispy on the exterior - it reminded me of KFC's crispy chicken somehow. There was a slight tinge of spiciness to the wings, firing up the flavour perfectly - what an awesome way of kickstarting the food tasting session.

Black Truffle Egg Pizza

The Black Ttuffle Egg Pizza (SGD$23.80) was a wonderment in itself. The base crust was crackling around the edges but puffy towards the centre; truffle oil was strong and aromatic. Karen shook the poached egg into a golden mesh spreading over the truffle and cheese infused pizza, resulting in a burst of rich flavours.

Then Aglio e Olio (SGD$16.80) joined the table, being devoured almost as quickly as it came. The portion was good - not too dainty or overwhelming; just nice for small to medium eaters. The garlic and chilli flavours teased the palate, but nothing too spicy; mushroom lent more aroma and tiger prawns added texture as well as a touch of sweetness that made this pasta so scrumptious.

Seafood Marinara

Seafood Marinara (SGD$17.80) was up next, rich in ingredients and taste. The tomato sauce was slightly sourish, seeping gently into the beautiful taste of mussels, fish, prawns, squids and scallops. There was so much seafood surrounding the springy strands of pasta, seducing the palate boldly.

Then we had Chicken Chop (SGD$16.80), a generous slab of chicken which was nestled in a pool of brown sauce, served with grilled vegetables and sauteed mushrooms. The chicken had a very tasty, very familiar taste that I could not put my fingers on....but I loved it of course, from the taste to its succulence.

Lastly, Tiramisu (SGD$8.80), the homemade dessert I had to try - the diners at the next table were having it, and I could smell the coffee aroma from my end! The spongy layers were soft and moist, soaked luxuriously in amaretto; the dessert melted in the mouth deliciously in a mush of coffee, cream and alcohol, like a dream. It was one of the better tiramisus I've had, truly!
