Went to Otto for what turned out to be a disappointing lunch. The food was served cold, and was dismal compared to when they first opened shop. Pasta sauce was diluted and the pasta was not even al dente. As for the service, the servers appeared disinterested and distracted. It took some effort on our part just to get their attention. For the prices they charge, you are better off going to another fine dining establishment. Will not return.

Our shared appetizer arrived next, the Seared Foie Gras with Celeriac Puree and aged Balsamic Vinegar (SGD$29.00) - tender melt-in-your-mouth goodness with a buttery taste and hints of smokiness at its nearly-crispy seared sides.

Then our Linguine Boston Lobster in spicy light tomato gravy (SGD$38.00) was served - large chunks of springy fresh lobster cooked in a delicious gravy that flirted well with the tongue. The pasta was a tad hard for *Charliez's liking, but I loved the harder doneness, so it was perfect for me. They helped us divide the portion into two tinier side plates (as shown in bottom photo).
Atlantic Cod Tagliata

Next, we had the Atlantic Cod Tagliata (SGD$42.00) - in a "Taggia" olives crust with sweet garlic sauce. We rather liked the combination of a flakey crust coupled with the luscious flavor of the snow white flesh of the cod. The dish melted in the mouth like fairy food dust, its distinctive flavors lingering on the palate.

i treated myself to something nice with my sister the other day. We headed to otto ristorante at red dot for some nice dessert. I ordered their strawberry crème brulee. It was so heavenly good. the custard inside is so smooth and delicate. It is not too sweet as well. On top they caramelise the custard. Love the crunch. The balance out the flavours, they add strawberries on top. the strawberries are a little sourish so it balanced out the sweetness of the crème brulee.

Yes, it’s that time of the year again. Alba White Truffle season is here!The insane craving that couldn’t go away started after I read ST’s article on it. Many restaurants in Singapore are offering luxurious special menus and so far, I think Otto’s is the best priced.

Yes, it’s that time of the year again. Alba White Truffle season is here!

The insane craving that couldn’t go away started after I read ST’s article on it. Many restaurants in Singapore are offering luxurious special menus and so far, I think Otto’s is the best priced. And I may be a little biased here, but I know that I can always count on Otto for a great meal. And I’m glad I wasn’t proven wrong =)

The last time I got so excited over an eggy dish was at Bistro Du Vin last year when Chef Marie was in town.

Gosh, this scrambled egg with blue swimmer crab ($19++) is to-die-for. Like, seriously. Texture was incredible, smooth and not overtly creamy, with big chunks of sweet crab meat, and the morsels of aromatic funghi added such a lovely burst of intense flavour to it.

I get hungry just writing, thinking, and looking at it!

I super love the Atlantic cod tagliata with porcini mushroom crust and creamed baby spinach ($40++) as well! The same weighing, shaving and weighing routine for another 2 grams of heaven was done and I had me a huge slab of tender fatty fish that literally melted in my mouth.

Desserts was a nice surprise. The crème brulee looks innocently enough, yes? But looks are deceiving. Underneath the layer of caramelized sugar is scrumptiously silky white truffle-scented custard cream! A little sweet, a little savoury, this weird combination actually works.

Otto is a restaurant I can easily love. It’s not just the superb food; it’s the seductive combination of classy ambience, relaxed vibe and excellent service, all delivered within the elegant-contemporary restaurant decked in light hues of cream and white. To my delight, our waiter doesn’t mumble and speaks clearly without rambling on at a breakneck speed (unlike many other restaurants I’ve been to) while introducing each dish knowledgeably. Great, lunch is already off to a good start!The 3 cours

Otto is a restaurant I can easily love.

It’s not just the superb food; it’s the seductive combination of classy ambience, relaxed vibe and excellent service, all delivered within the elegant-contemporary restaurant decked in light hues of cream and white. To my delight, our waiter doesn’t mumble and speaks clearly without rambling on at a breakneck speed (unlike many other restaurants I’ve been to) while introducing each dish knowledgeably. Great, lunch is already off to a good start!

The 3 course set lunch menu ($35++) changes every week and always updated promptly (I know cuz I check every other week just to salivate over the menu haha) on their website.

Otto offers 4 different varieties of bread and the one topped with onions (standing tall and proud at the back) is the best out of the lot. It helps that I’m partial to onions too.

The starter is so me: smooth, not-too-salty smoked Scottish salmon with ultra crispy croutons and slightly coarse chickpea hummus with a distinct sourish tang. So many different textures and flavours, all in one bite!

I had my main changed to the Atlantic cod “Tagliata” (supplement $15++) from the ala carte menu and she’s one gorgeous chick fish! Leaning sexily on a bed of spinach and adorned with a black olive crust and sundried tomato pesto, she’s amazingly tender and delicate. Gosh, I love fatty fish!

All I have to say for desserts is ‘meh’. But I’ll gladly close one eye to it since it’s a set lunch after all (adjusted expectations) and the lovely courses previously have already made me a happy girl.

Coffee panna cotta served with white chocolate and grappa “nonino” sauce. FYI, grappa = an Italian grape-based brandy. Which I can’t detect at all, hmm.

“Otto is a restaurant I can easily love”?

I’ve changed my mind. I already love Otto.
