For more reviews and pictures, visit my blog at www.ms-skinnyfat.comThis 90-seater semi-alfresco restaurant has taken over the now-defunct Britsh gastropub The Jackson Plan, and the menu revolves around 11 variations of fresh mozzarella, each served with a contrasting side ($20-30). These creamy and milky bundles of joy are imported twice weekly from Italy.Frankly, a mozzarella bar sounds kinda intimidating even for a cheese lover like i am but there are non raw dairy dishes available as well.

This 90-seater semi-alfresco restaurant has taken over the now-defunct Britsh gastropub The Jackson Plan, and the menu revolves around 11 variations of fresh mozzarella, each served with a contrasting side ($20-30). These creamy and milky bundles of joy are imported twice weekly from Italy.
Frankly, a mozzarella bar sounds kinda intimidating even for a cheese lover like i am but there are non raw dairy dishes available as well. Our couple friend invited us along for their Restaurant Week booking. For $35, we had a 4 course meal from their actual menu. Here is what we ate.
Our starter of Crab & Stracciatella Cheese Salad with Roasted Zucchini ($20). I love the shredded rags of cow's milk mozzarella and fresh cream. It is delightfully rich but not too heavy. The crab meat lent a light and fresh seafood sweetness to the mix and i love the juicy roasted zucchinis at the base of the tower. The red wine balsamic reduction lifted the dish with the slightly bitter sweet acidity. Nicely done.
Next up, the Smoked Scamorza & Porcini Mushrooms Risotto ($25). Smoked Scamorza has a more dominant in taste than the mozzarella and i like how its natural saltiness flavored the risotto cream broth. I would say this is more of a wet risotto but it's nicely executed nonetheless. Would be a good dish to share.
I was surprised at the size of the Grilled Beef Sirloin Steak Tagliata with Rucola & Truffle Sauce ($35). This is a full size steak, grilled simply and served on rockets. The steak was tender and done medium rare like we like it. Love the truffle sauce too. I could hardly finish my dishes.
For desserts, it was the Lemon Panna Cotta with Balsamic Strawberries ($15). The pudding is slightly more curdled and firm but i love the thick milky smooth texture which is perfumed by the refreshing lemon. This is a match made in heaven. (No picture because the lighting is pretty bad and i think using the flash is rude.)
Enjoy their 3 course weekday set lunch at only $28++. You don't have to wait till Restaurant Week to do that.
