Grabbing the affordable set dinner and lunches that are only available during the Singapore Restaurant Week, we pick some places that we would not have stepped in on usual days. Each set consists of appetiser, main course, dessert ($35). As we went in a family of four, there were ala carte dishes as well.For full details: http://www.dairycream.blogspot.sg/2012/10/singapore-restaurant-week-2012-covelli.htmlGlobe Artichoke & Eggplant Veloute with Crab Cheese Cremeux and Black Truffle Oil Surprise

Globe Artichoke & Eggplant Veloute with Crab Cheese Cremeux and Black Truffle Oil Surprise tangy taste in a vegetable soup. One of the most unique tasty soup that is paired with uncommon black croutons. Transparent globs of black truffle oil accents the flavors of the vegetables but does not overpower the creaminess.
Slab of crab cream cheese is really salty and crabby ( like eating pureed crab) and thus matches well with the light bowl of soup.
Tuna Carpaccio with Lime Sorbet, Kumquat Oil and ChivesSharp sweet lime sorbet in rectangular cube form enhances freshness and savouriness of raw tuna. Lime could be sashimi's next best friend after wasabi.
Pan-seared Nile perch with crunchy brussel sprouts.Sweet umami from sea urchin mango cream. Black calamari ink spaetzel tastes like chewy fried dough.
Root Beer Braised Berkshire Pork Jowls with Spinach & Ricotta Gnocchi, Bacon Butter and Pecorino SnowCannot really detect any beer but the pork jowls were really tender and easily pull apart.
Desserts were the same for both setsBeetroot & Extra virgin olive oil cake with 60% Chocolate mascarpone
Innovative fusion flavors of vegetables into a dessert. Slightly salty moist cake. Bitter chocolate lumps that are a little harder than a usual mousse.
Did not regret choosing this place. Good quality food (even though that was the first night of Singapore restaurant week) , too-high service quality (with a knowledgeable server constantly standing at a distance from the table but yet able to hear every conversation)
Another wonderful night of taste adventure!
