We visited another brunch of peperoni pizzeria at Greenwood Avenue along Bukit Timah Road last Monday night. We ordered a pasta and a pizza each- I had an Amatricianna pasta ($18) which is basically tomato sauce with a generous amount of bacon and onions. The pasta was a little bit undercooked, but the generous serving size impressed us.

We ordered the large pizza ($21) because if you order large (12 inch)or family size (21 inch) pizzas, you can choose to have 2 difference flavors. We tried the following 2 flavours:
Funghi – lots of mushrooms and cheese.
Pancetta – this is actually pepperoni pizza. It was a little bit on the salty side, but this can be rectified by sprinkling tobasco sauce on it.

Service was great, the waiters were always cracking jokes and very attentive (possibly due to the lack of customers). However, they were a little too attentive because when we went to take a close look at the displays in the restaurant, our unfinished pasta was cleared.

Pizzaeria Mozza is a lovely place in Marina Bay Sands with great pizza and beautiful desserts. The restaurant is tastefully decorated with a homely interior, lots of wood and interesting menus. Even your utensils come in an envelope! When we went on a weekday for lunch, it was pretty crowded and it was only because we had a reservation that we got a seat.
For the pizza, we ordered a Bacon, salami, fennel sausage, pancetta, tomato & mozzarella.The toppings were very generous, and the mix of bacon, salami, sausage and cheese did not make the pizza too salty. The crust was nice and crispy even when the pizza cooled down. We would have preferred the pizza served sliced but perhaps we should have requested for that while ordering.

As for desserts, we had a Butterscotch budino, Maldon sea salt & rosemary pine nut cookies and a strawberry ice cream concotion (whose name i forgot).The butterscotch was very very sweet, great for those with a sweet tooth but for others, it would be better to share this with your dining partner because halfway through all the butterscotch was starting to get to me. The strawberry dessert was a great compliment for the butterscotch because it was refreshing and not too sweet. I loved the almond flakes on top - unlike many other restaurants, their was still crunchy.

overall a delightful place for lunch at MBS!

Pepes is truly the best Indonesian food i've ever had in Singapore. It has excellent service - the waitress patiently waited for my parents to decide on their order, change their order and then bombard her with questions about every dish.

My favourite dish was the egg and tofu dish (see IMG 3). it looks somewhat like our chinese yam ring, the egg is fried till it curls up into golden brown tendrils and then drizzled in sweet sauce. Admist all the egg are chunks of tofu, that tastes great eaten with the egg or dipped in their chilli. Oh their chilli is another fantastic dish they had - we had to keep asking for more even though they gave us generous servings of it.

Other dishes we ordered were the beef rendang - a rather small portion but lipsmacking nontheless. Yellow rice - don't order too much of it, focus on their dishes if not you're gonna get too full to try more. Sambal kangkong - fried with a different type of sambal chilli that we are used to and probably the most expensive kangkong i've ever eaten in my life. We ordered their version of a lime juice - $4.50 for a rather small cup, very refreshing especially with all the chilli and curry going on, but a little too pricey.

Overall full marks for taste and service.

A group of friends and I visited Din Tai Fung at Junction 8 to have a dim sum afternoon tea. We ordered the customary xiao long bao, but on impulse decided to try the siew mai as well. As usual their xiao long bao did not disappoint - the skin was firm the soup was boiling hot and very tasty. Their siew mai on the other hand was very ordinary, though very pretty to look at. I felt their siew mai was a little bland compared to the xiao long bao. Service was very good, our tea was constantly topped up and we managed to stay quite a while because the place was not very crowded, being a weekday afternoon.

Lai Lai's beef noodle is one of the nicest beef noodles i've tried in Singapore. And Lai lai's outlet in NEX has become a favourite haunt of my family, especially on weekends. Business at the NEX outlet is brisk but you seldom have to wait too long for a seat inside. Food is also served very fast. The beef noodles can be taken dry or soup. Personally i prefer the dry version (they still provide a small bowl of soup anyways). They are also very generous with their beef chunks though sometimes there might be more fat than meat.
