Kith café is actually quite prevalent to many and I’ve been wanting to try in a long time ever since I heard a lot about their breakfast brunch. Finally, I decided to go there one late afternoon to have a quick bite for dinner. I visited the Park Mall branch, just across Plaza Singapura and this cafe is pretty accessible and visible. There is both indoor and outdoor seating alfresco if you prefer. Seats are pretty limited and full although it was a weekday afternoon. I would suppose they will be pretty pack during the weekends. They actually also have two others branches at Robertson Quay and Sentosa Cove.

Upon seated, they will bring you their menu in a clipboard which was very nifty. I realized that breakfast was not all day. It will be great if they have all day breakfast but breakfast is till 3pm. After browsing through, I decided to go for the Grilled Eggplant Sandwich ($14) and a Latte ($4). While my friend ordered a Kith Macchiato ($4). Clipboard menuGrilled Eggplant Sandwich ($14) – I really love this sandwich and was so glad I ordered it. It was filled with baby spinach at the bottom of the toast together with grilled eggplant, tomatoes, sprinkled with generous amount of white truffle oil and some bits of Brie cheese. The toasts of this sandwich were multigrain bread and came freshly toasted as it was still warm. The truffle oil’s aroma was really fragrant and the arrangement all the ingredients just make it really wholesome.Kith Macchiato ($4) – Left
Latte ($4) – Right

I enjoyed the freshly brewed Latte cause the acidity was just nice. Most importantly, the flavour was balance and not too overwhelming.

The Macchiato came with marshmallow on top, according to my friend, it was too bitter. I might give this a try it the next time around.I enjoyed the cosy environment of this café. The décor was well-designed and have a really cosy atmosphere which makes it great for hang-out. Overall, it was certainly value for money and worth trying if you are craving for something healthy in a relaxing atmosphere. Definitely going back to try their breakfast brunch and bringing my bunch of girlfriends there. 

I was all excited when I heard that Jamie Italian was coming to Singapore and I knew I had to try. I actually had the opportunity to try the one in London previously and I really missed it. I made an online reservation in July for September so it was really a long wait till the day that I finally got to try. However, booking online have it advantages too as we were shown straight to our tables when we arrived. I heard they do allocate certain seats for walk-in customer as well but be prepared for a queue. Restaurant ambiance is pleasant and furnished with contemporary modern style fittings coupled with dim lightings. They have a counter and bread table where they prepare appetizers and what they call it Antipasti. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also somewhat noisy as the music in the background was really too loud in my opinion. It was hard to hold a conversation with my friend and I felt that I was shouting across my table. It will be perfect if the music would have been softer cause apart from appreciating the food at the restaurant, it is also important that some may want to be able to chat while eating. Apart from locals, I realized that the restaurant was also filled with a lot of expats as well.The menu was extensive and have a good selection. In the end, I ordered the Posh Chips ($7.50) as well as the Crispy Stuffed Risotto Balls ($11.50) for the sides. I also ordered the recommended Jool’s Favourite Sicilian Tuna Fusilli ($14.00/$21.00) which has two sizes to choose from and I decided to go with the regular size. I also tried the
Lamb Chop Lollipops ($29.90) and lastly ended with the two tempting desserts of Sour Cherry Bakewell ($9.50) and Tiramisu ($11.50).

So what’s my verdict for the food that I have tried?Posh Chips ($7.50) - The posh chips is actually truffle fries and it came with generous amount of Parmesan sprinkled at the top. This side a little disappointing as the fries was soggy. Risotto Balls ($11.50) - I’ve never seen Risotto Balls before or maybe is just me. But looking at the menu, this side looks interestingly enough to order so I thought I’ve give it a shot. Surprisingly, it was bland and did not have taste at all. It didn’t help even though I dipped this into the salsa sauce that came with it.Jool’s Favourite Sicilian Tuna Fusilli - ($14.00/$21.00) This was actually my favourite of all the food that I’ve ordered. It was filled with Albacore tuna also known as white meat tuna mixed together with tomatoes, garlic, some herbs, cinnamon and it came with one big spoonful of breadcrumbs fragranced with strong taste of herbs.
Lamb Chop Lollipops ($29.90) - This dish name is cute indeed. The lamb chops were grilled and came with crushed creamy artichoke with mint sauce. There were traces of roasted nuts, chilis and fresh mint as well which added tantalizing flavours to this dish.Sour Cherry Bakewell ($9.50) – It is a Berry tart filled with sweet almond filing and topped with what they called it a clementine sour ripped cream (clementine is a kind of mandarin orange citrus). I love this tart, though I do find the almond taste overpowering. The texture of the crust is baked perfectly together with sugary sour and mellow taste.
Tiramisu ($11.50) – The Tiramisu was served in a clay cold pan, interesting concept and topped with heavy cream. I felt that there wasn’t a balance mixture between the rum and coffee. The rum definitely overwhelmed the coffee and I prefer that it will be a good combination of both. However, I can tell that it was freshly made so that was a plus.

Overall, Food was only plausible and service was also only satisfactory in my opinion but I’m usually not very particular. Price is also on the pricey side and was not really worth it for it taste. However, I do enjoy their desserts better. I would probably go back to give it another chance to try their other dishes.

My draw to coffee club will be the Muddy mud pie ($9.50) which also makes me return every time i crave for it. This is huge and come with generous amount of chocolate fudge drizzled on it with Oreo bites sprinkled at the top. You can feel some tinge of coffee taste complimented with chocolate ice cream. This dessert was satisfying to the taste bud and definitely good for sharing. Apart from this, I actually had my main there as well. I ordered the Seafood Saffron Rice ($19) which was alright which came with one big prawn at the top. The seafood taste was powering and heavy but I felt portion wasn't that much. My friend ordered the Lobster Bisque Baked Rice ($14.50) which came with two half shell scallop. I tasted some and really like the cheesy taste. This however tasted lighter than the Seafood Saffron rice that I was having. I enjoyed my food there and this outlet at Wheelock is an open-air alfresco dinning. Although they have coolers but it can get really hot in the afternoon since I was having lunch there. It will be perfect in the night though. Will definitely be back again for its Muddy Mud Pie! Muddy Mud Pie ($9.50) Seafood Saffron Rice ($19) Lobster Bisque Baked Rice ($14.50)

I enjoyed dining at Otto Locanda and it was one of the best Italian that I have tried so far. Not only the food was good but the service was superb. I just can't praise this place enough cause my friend and I really enjoyed my time there. I went on a Monday and there weren't that many people. There was this lady who was there attending and showing us our seat. She was really polite and she managed our orders. Upon seated and ordered, we were served with some ice water and not long after some bread. The bread came together with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was nice eating this way dipping into the olive oil rather than conventional butter. Bread was complimentary and it was really fragrant too. So both my friend and I ordered these few dishes for sharing, which I will share what the taste is like individually. We ordered altogether the Lasagna della Locanda ($23), the Ravioli Toscani ($24), Carnaroli Risotto with mix seafood & fresh basil pesto ($34) and lastly we topped off with a traditional Tiramisu for the finale since we are having Italian food.

This place has also one of the best service. What I noticed was that the waiter will come and check on you regularly if everything is alright and if they can serve the next dish. It is different as they allow you to eat at your on pace comparing to serving all the dishes at one go. This is really commendable cause not many places does that. Also, after our second dish, Chef Marco, the chef also came out and greeted us and check if the food was alright. The attentiveness just makes you feel special and it just makes your dining experience more memorable. Pricing is also affordable and I would say it is really quality food, so its really worth it. Fresh Baguette - This was served with a plate of Olive oil with some balsamic vinegar. The bread was fresh and fragrant. Lasagna della Locanda ($23)
This is a must-try dish! It is an entree dish and it consisted of oven baked truffle together with Porcini mushroom lasagna and what they called a light cherry tomato sauce. It was served hot and you can feel the warm lasagna and the cheese melts in your mouth. It was simply yumz! Ravioli Toscani ($24)
This dish is a Home-made Ravioli with tastes of butter and sage sauce on pureed lentils. It also contains Buffalo Ricotta cheese and Tuscan black cabbage. Black cabbage are not black in colour though. It is a wild cabbage also known as Kale. Anyway, this dish came second and I carefully savour every bite of this Ravioli, it was fresh, creamy and delicious. Carnaroli Risotto with mix seafood & fresh basil pesto ($34)
This was our last main dish. It was a special of the day which you won't find it in their normal menu. I was so glad my friend ordered this. It came with a generous amount of seafood and the Risotto was the best I have tasted. The differences is that this Risotto was softer than the usual ones that I have tasted. The flavours kind of wraps up the Risotto so when you take a mouthful of it, you can taste of all the combination of seafood which makes it so flavoursome. I am really not exaggerating, your really have to try it yourself. And, you can really taste a tinge of pesto which added an extra refreshing taste in this dish. Tiramisu al Caffe’
The traditional Tiramisu is just Wow! It was topped in an Espresso coffee sauce and The mixture of the coffee, alcohol, the texture was just so nice. It was well-done in my opinion. I was so full of joy and mesmerized by it with every bite. Ambience was really soothing with light music playing in the background with decoration of wine since it is an Italian restaurant. Lighting was dim, good for dates or a nice relaxing dinner. Place was also very convenient just next to Tanjong Pagar MRT. Do take the Exit B at Maxwell Chamber building and you will find it.

This is one place that I never knew it existed till my friend introduced me. The restaurant is all about Russian food and yes it was my first time trying Russian food and I was really excited. The decor and furniture of this restaurant is almost like in the 80s and waiters are waitresses were dressed in butler style which was really something uniformed and unique about this restaurant. We were serve with bread roll first. The bread was soft and fresh, really enjoyed every bit of it. I ordered the Borsch soup with it and really tasty as well. Heard that this is one of their signature there and you must definitely order it. I also tried the Russian coffee. It was really strong and fragrant with tinge of alcohol in it. We ordered sides such as egg millionaire and Escargot. Egg millionaire was delicious but I didn't really like the Escargot though. For the main, I ordered the Shashlik beef. This came in a hot plate. It may look small but it was actually filling enough. Since is a signature, this is a must order! Beef tenderness is just right and juicy. Last but not least, we ordered a bomb alaska for sharing. The best bomb alaska I've tried so far. Do note to make a reservation first before heading down.
