For additional reviews of this place, please see http://thehungrybunnie.blogspot.com/2011/03/cova-pasticceria-paragon.html and http://thehungrybunnie.blogspot.com/2011/02/cova-pasticceria-paragon.htmlAlthough the array of pretty desserts and pastries is breathtaking, this charming tea-room-styled bistro serves more than just sweets. The quality of the Italian cuisine here, albeit with a limited menu, is almost faultless. Desserts here are admittedly pricey, so it's best to get the desserts after

Although the cake design here may not be that sophisticated and colourful, but taste of their cake is indeed awesome and really delicious. One of my favourite choice will be their tirumisu cake which includes lots of layers of sponge cake and fine quality cream in it. They will only the finest dark chocolate to produce the cake which really make taste alot different from those normal confectionary shops out there. Not really that affordable as per slice of cake selling here can be as high as n

So me and my friends were shopping in orchard last week. And my friend wanted to buy some cakes for her boyfriend and his boyfriend specifically only want cakes from this cafe. Cova, Pasticceria - Confetteria. So we decided to have our tea break here then. It was my first time here! There were variety of cakes and it looked so tempting and delicious and i feel like ordering all! We chose some of them and ordered a cup of coffee. The environment and decoration of the shop has European style and i

I went with my friends for dinner at this restaurant mainly cause we had the Groupon voucher. Although the place is tug at a corner in paragon, they serve really nice food. We ordered a calzone pizza that came in a curry puff shape as well as the parma ham pizza with rocket salad. Both were tasty and good. After which we shared a black forest cake desert which came with an ice cream. I really liked the environment of this restaurant as it looks and feel really high-class. There is also a wide se

Armed with a stack of Groupon vouchers, we brought Baby and grandparents to try Cova in Paragon. We didn't manage to get a seat in our first attempt to make reservation, and in the second attempt could not get our preferred time slot and had to settle for a later seating - I guess the promotion worked real well for them.We were seated at a corner of the inside dining area. The ambience was nicely elegant, Service was a bit slow. It took a bit of time for us to get noticed and duly seated when we

Wanted to try the DBS one for one set dinner promotion, but end we couldnt meet the terms and condition so then settled for the UOB one for one ala crate (condition was to also order an appetiser)Bread and Biscuits (traditional starters to go along with Olive oil and vinegar) Rossini (salad appetiser, maybe not used to italian food, dont really like the cheese)Cod Fillet (Very fresh and tender, sauce not really getting to use to that kind of taste, tomato cherry is juicy, but for $34 bucks i wou

We are served some warm breads and crackers to start the meal with. There is olive oil at the table to dip with. For starter, there is a choice of 2. I ordered TORETTA DI SALMONE AVOCADO CON POMODORI, VERZE E CONDIMENTO ALL’AFARANCIO (Tower of salmon tartar and avocado mousse served with tomato concass on savoy cabbage and orange dressing).The salmon looks cooked, not raw as I thought. The buttery taste of the avocado goes well with the oily fish, flow smoothly down and do not cover the taste of

Popped by Cova Pasticceria for dinner one evening since we were in the vicinity and everywhere else was packed. Started in 1819 in Milan and originally patronised by the crème de la crème of society, Cova has expanded to a few countries in Asia to cater to those who seek "the high life" (albeit if only temporary).And the decor is telling. Dark wood coupled with European style overhanging lamps that throw off warm light and well designed cornices greet you as you step into the cozy space that Cov

The little cafe is really cosy, with lush decorations and fancy cakes, pastries, tarts, slices and cookies surrounding you. It's a feast for the eyes. The colours, the splendour, the lighting. Things look golden in this shop! It's like a shining beacon calling out to you as you approach it.Bought a birthday cake here. It was marvelous! Really fine cream, built perfectly together with sponges and layers. Very professional service, decor, wrapping, packaging and display.You'll be spoilt for choice

I came here for their dessert actually blueberry cheese cake-Expecting a typical baked cheesecake topped with blueberry, this turned out to be the refrigerator type cheesecake that uses gelatine as the setting agentAlso tried their taco ink tagliolini with scallops, prawns &cherry tomatoes in bisque sauce. This was good ,they were quite generous with the seafood, which was very fresh, the bisque sauce was very flavourful. I couldn’t really taste the taco ink in the pasta,the lack of any taco ink

Cova offers a 5-course set dinner @ 69++, but we got the 1-for-1 deal voucher from Her World Magazine (ends 31 Oct), which is a bargain.For appetizer, we can choose between Octopus salad with potato and fennel in lemon dressing and Minestrone soup. The octopus salad served in a big portion. The potato and octopus are well-marinated, but the salad itself tasted a little too plain. Of course you can add some balsamic vinegar to it, but I think it would taste better if it's topped with some cheese.

I am very surprised that COVA is brought in by Wing Tai, which usually deals with clothing. Nevertheless, I am impressed by the following description that I gathered from Wing Tai’s website:“COVA Pasticceria - Confetteria, is the first premium F&B venture by Wing Tai Branded Lifestyle Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Wing Tai Retail. Its heritage dates back to 1817 when it was founded in Milan by Antonio Cova. Specializing in coffee, pastries, cakes and chocolates, COVA’s finest delights have stood the

went to cova for afternoon tea with my mother and sister. The environment of the tea boutique is very calming and relaxing. We slowly sip our tea and watch the day flash past in front of us. The tea is really fragrant, you can taste how top quality it is. Really enjoy such delicious tea and the time spend with my family.

I lovet the Tea Room! It's such a cosy space decorated with chandeliers, mirrors and paintings, as well as flanked by a six-metre cake showcase. This snug cafe is perfect for girlfriends to enjoy a cup of tea while updating themselves on the latest gossip. All the pastries, coffee, cakes and chocolates at COVA looked exquisitely divine! But I wasn't there for high tea. Came by to try the festive menu. Fell head over feels for the Cappesante Avvolte nella Pancetta con Asparagi Verdi e Caviale di

Thinking about mooncake?! The first impression that would be occupying your mind would be the usual impression....brown light fluffy crust with lotus root paste and at times accompanied by the pleasant surprise of salted egg yolk within....packaged in a standard gift box of "you know how" assumption!In my deepest thoughts and likings....mooncake has never ever been my priority in my "to die to eat" list....however i sincerely believe things will take a significant contra on my perception of moon
