In celebration of my dear friend's birthday, we were roaming around Raffles City in the hopes of finding a great place to eat. The other restaurants had dragon queues (i.e: the queue were so long that they'd form the legendary dragon of Singapore), and so we were without a choice but to settle for Pizza Place, where they had two menu stands outside the restaurant. We didn't know which one would proclaim our entrance or desire to eat in the restaurant, and there weren't a single soul queuing but
In celebration of my dear friend's birthday, we were roaming around Raffles City in the hopes of finding a great place to eat. The other restaurants had dragon queues (i.e: the queue were so long that they'd form the legendary dragon of Singapore), and so we were without a choice but to settle for Pizza Place, where they had two menu stands outside the restaurant. We didn't know which one would proclaim our entrance or desire to eat in the restaurant, and there weren't a single soul queuing but visibly the open-concept restaurant showed that the tables were filled. Thankfully, a waitress came over and ushered us to our seats. It was rather cramp due to the small shop space, and we were just an elbow away from the table beside us. I can't help but to openly eavesdrop their entire conversation about God and church .
If you have secrets to share, don't come to Pizza place. But if you're there for great food, this is a DEFINITELY MUST-GO!
Most importantly, there is NO GST & SERVICE CHARGE. They also had excellent service, because while I was ordering at the counter, I asked if there were any candles for the cake and apparently, one of the colleagues ran out to get some candles when they didn't have any! *gasps*
Lasagne Chicken - $12.80Thick, melted cheesy layers above thin long strips of pasta, with tomato paste oozing out and chicken chunks filled in-between. This is something that you can't use to eat with, and it was one of the best lasagne I've ever eaten, beating the scores of Pizza Hut's and Pasta Mania's lasagne. It's not spammed with oil, thus it looks quite burnt in some parts which can be easily removed with your fork.
Truffle Fries - $7.80Truffles are actually a type of fungus, and I have always thought it was some sort of chocolate powder. Anyway, this fragrant truffle fries is extremely addictive for its' crisp texture and saltiness with a drizzle of truffle oil. Unlike other 'french fries' which you can hardly finish or desire to gobble all of them up, Truffle Fries is ordered almost on every customer's table. I really enjoyed it, and my friend who isn't a fan of fries loved this snack as well!
Iced Lemon Tea - $2.80 (top left of the table, duh! )My first question to my friend was, "Wah why this ice lemon tea no lemon one?" She drank a sip and passed over to me and I got a HUGE SHOCK from the sourness in the tea. If your taste buds have a preference for lemons, go ahead and order this just like my beloved friend did!
Opera Cake - $5.80The top favourite and chef's recommendation of PIzza Place would be Tiramisu, costing $8.60 but was sold out that night. So I ordered Opera Cake, which was chocolate-layered filled with a little sprinkle of coffee powder. The taste of coffee wasn't very strong, but the slightest hint did change the entire aroma of the cake. It was extremely delicious, more delicious than it looks! You definitely have to order this.
I really enjoyed the whole experience in the restaurant, we chatted until the restaurant closed and still, the waiters and waitresses didn't chase us away but we left ourselves in embarrassment of how we were the last customers left.
In total, I spent $29.20.
