This cafe was quite interesting with a few levels of different sections/areas that are kinda separated from one another. Hence there's one al fresco area, and a few indoor areas. We sat at one indoor area and managed to get the swing seats  






Chamomile: Was not feeling well hence the only drink I could order was their hot tea, which was exorbitant at $7 per tea bag!!!! The only thing that made it slightly better was that instead of the normal sugar or sugar cubes that cafes provide you with, theirs was a very pretty sugar crystal on a stick! It's really pretty.. I could stare at it all day long




Molten Lava Cake: My friends ordered the molten lava cake. I don't usually order it myself but I tried it and it was pretty rich and chocolatey, and it wasn't too sweet.I think it's not bad but is probably too rich for me to finish it by myself. There was also strawberry sauce drizzled on the side.

Might return but only for the ambience...nice place to catch up with friends.

I absolutely love the Marche concept which is alot like our hawker centres - you walk around the different stalls and queue up for the food you want, then bring it back to your own table. We bought a few dishes to share among ourselves.



Pan-fried Salmon: The raw salmon pieces were displayed at the seafood stall counter and the colour of the meat was nice and it looked very fresh, which was what tempted me to order it. However, once cooked, the meat was slightly dry. It might have been slightly overcooked by the chef. Also, the salmon skin could be more crisp.



Paella: Paella is Spanish rice cooked with an assortment of ingredients, and saffron. The version that Marche has is mixed paella, with red capsicums, tomatoes, celery, prawns and chicken. The paella was ok..the rice was nice and moist and mildly flavoured. The vegetables were cooked till they were soft. 



Pork Knuckle: This was huge! I think this could serve about 8-10 pax. After chopping the pork knuckle up, the pork pieces fill up 2 plates. The meat was nice and tender. However the skin could be crispier.



Vegetarian Pizza: This was quite nice with onion, tomato, capsicum and arugula/rocket leaves. The pizza base was a bit floppy, such that if you held up a slice with one hand, the pizza will droop down and the ingredients might fall out. I wish it could be crispier.

Palio has quite a reasonable lunch set so we decided to go to Palio when we were at Resorts World Sentosa. They have a 2 course set consisting of an appetizer and pizza or pasta for $25++, and a 3 course set with an added dessert for $30++. We had the 2 course set as we aren't fans of desserts.

Once we were shown to our seats, the manager asked if we wanted sparkling or still water. I thought this meant that they don't serve normal water for free but I saw later on that they actually do!!! I felt really cheated after that as the bottle of still water cost $9 for 1 litre. Hence please beware and just ask if they serve normal water at any restaurant that you go to.



After you've placed your order, you will be served toast with chilled salsa. This was simple but so yummy I wish I had more! The toast was crispy but light and soft on the inside, and the chilled salsa had subtle herb flavours and was very refreshing due to its cold temperature. 



Appetizer - Prosciutto e Melone
This is a classic Italian appetizer consisting of sliced rock melon paired with parma ham, topped with some salad leaves and fig compote. The sweetness of the rock melon and saltiness of the parma ham went together very well.



Appetizer - Caprese 
Another classic Italian appetizer, the Caprese consists of Italian buffalo mozerella cheese and vine ripened tomatoes. The cheese and tomatoes were both juicy and very light and refreshing on the palate. Loving both the appetizers



Linguine with Asparagus in Pesto
Pesto is a kind of sauce made of basil... The ones I've tried before had really strong basil taste hence I expected this to be the same. However for this dish, the basil taste and fragrance was extremely subtle. The pasta/sauce was also tasteless and I felt as though the chef had forgotten to add the salt. The linguine was good though, which was al dente. The asparagus was nice and crunchy and the cherry tomatoes were juicy but I wished the vegetables portion was more.



Pizza with Bak Kwa and Floss
This pizza really reminded me of the Lunar New Year as it consisted of bak kwa, pork floss and chilli bits, but it wasn't too spicy. This was ok just that the toppings made the pizza really un-Italian. It was more like a Singapore flavoured pizza. 

Their food is generally good but perhaps the pasta and pizza we had chosen were not their specialties. Wouldn't mind giving them another try next time.

This stall is located at the innermost lane of the food centre from the main road. I spotted quite a number of tables having food from this stall so I thought it must be good. My boyfriend and I got the pork rib soup and pig trotters to share among the 2 of us.


Pig Trotters: We got the smallest portion which was just right for both of us. The sauce was on the watery side which was good, if it's a thick gravy we will get sick of it really quickly. The pig trotters, both meat and skin, were tender and melt-in-your-mouth and had absorbed the flavours from the sauce. There were also some mushroom pieces in this dish.



Pork Rib Soup: This pork rib soup/ bak kut teh was the herbal kind and not the peppery type. I would have preferred of there was a stronger herbal taste and fragrance and the soup was thicker. Some of the pork ribs were slightly tough whole some were rather tender. If you bring the claypot back to the stall they will refill the soup for you

I’m a fan of chicken skin and when I saw that they sold fried chicken skin, I knew I had to try it once!I finally bought a cup of it after lunch today. Before they hand the cup over to you, they’d ask if you want to sprinkle chilli powder on top (just like those Taiwanese fried chicken cutlets). I asked for them to sprinkle just a bit, but the spice level was really low hence most people should be able to tolerate the normal amount of chilli powder. I felt that the fried chicken skin could be crispier and saltier as it didn’t have much taste.

As it's a really unhealthy snack, trying it once is more than enough for me!
