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)

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.
