I found my cioccolata calda in singapore!!! ~ haha so happy! thought i'll never get to drink it again after leaving italy now i know where to get my cioccolata fix ;) hehe. la ristrettos is a really nice hidden find, tucked away amidst the maze of medical suites in novena medical centre. if not for the small lunch crowd, i would think that place is normally really really quiet and peaceful (: just look out the window and you'll see nothing but greenery, and more people just chillin'. nice ;) th
i think this is an italian-inspired cafe, not just because of the chocolate, but because lots of things on the menu are in their italian names 'ristretto' actually means 'restrained' or something like that, which means that you get an even more POWERFUL espresso shot, as it has less water in it. i'm not a coffee person, so i didn't try their espresso though.
i would say that their cioccolata calda ($6.50) was pretty well done! ^^ definitely has the thickness and creaminess similar to the italian version ;) the only thing was that it was rather erm..lumpy? haha not that it diminished my experience of drinking it. it was actually quite nice to melt the chocolate lumps in my mouth just wondering whether it was because they didn't stir it properly or what.
overall, a very nice place to chill, with a very calm, zen-like feel. and i would come back for my italian hot chocolate ;)
