Mad For Garlic (Part III)

Went to Mad For Garlic again! This time, we went to use our 1-for-1 pasta/pizza NDP voucher :D

Remember how I was lamenting the fact that there was scarce enough of the delicious fondue sauce for the Anchovy Cream Garlic Fondue the last time? Well, this time I asked the server if it was possible to have more of the sauce and she said 'ok' without hesitation! I was expecting that there would be just a little bit more than the last time but this is what came to our table...

Ask and ye shall receive...

Ok, so there wasn't the little candle to heat it up but we could hardly complain when there was so much more sauce to dip into! This time we could really cover the whole pieces of toast and whatever with the sauce. I especially enjoy it with the broccoli, mmmmm...

As usual, we ordered our favorite Garlic Snowing Pizza, but since we also had that voucher, we decided to try something else from the menu.

Calzone with sweet garlic dipping sauce:  The calzone itself pretty much had just cheese in it, but it tasted pretty good when paired with the sauce. However, we still much preferred the Snowing Pizza. Maybe next time I'll just order 2 of that.

Pizzeria Mozza @ Marina Bay Sands

Calcio place mat!

Went to MBS to check out the YSL arty ring but they only had Turquoise in size 5 & 8. Attempted to squeeze my index finger into size 5 and almost couldn't remove it after... as Auntie Lucy would say, so embarrassing!!!

Since we were at MBS, we decided to try out another one of the celebrity chef restaurants. We arrived at Pizzeria Mozza at 5pm and it was packed as it was the weekend, but we managed to get seats at the bar.

Complimentary bread... chips? Lol idk but it was good! Nice to have something to snack on while waiting for the food we ordered to arrive.

Mozza Caprese ($19)

Mozza Caprese: slow-roasted vine tomatoes, creamy burrata cheese and bright hand pounded pesto. This salad looks great and tastes absolutely divine. Apparently the tomatoes are roasted for 4 hours till the skins begins to shrivel but the tomato itself remains plump. This tastes like heaven, never knew a tomato could taste so sweet and together with a mouthful of the creamy cheese and pesto, it was an orgasm for the taste buds.

Magherita Pizza ($24)

Ordered my favorite pizza: Magherita with mozzarella, tomato and basil. I felt it could do with a bit more mozzarella but still it was a good pizza, the crust especially was good, crisply charred on the outside but somehow it had a chewy bite on the inside.

Caramel Copetta ($15)

Caramel Copetta: Caramel gelato with marshmallow sauce and salted Spanish peanuts on top of a thin waffle crisp. Guh I'm in love with this dessert. The caramel gelato had a nice hint of burnt sugar that I love and the marshmallow sauce was basically melted marshmallows, yum!! What a wonderful way to end the meal.

$11.99 Set Lunch @ Modesto's

Soup of the day + Pizza/Pasta + Drink for $11.99 nett!

Mushroom Soup. Just the right thickness and very flavorful.

Some garlic bread. Cost me an extra $6! wtf. But it was pretty good. Toasted to a slight crisp.

Traditional wood fired magherita pizza!

Penne Cabonara. Good but nothing to rave about really.

For $11.99 nett, I think it's pretty worth it.

Mad For Garlic

It's Polling Day and I have nothing to do! Dumb GRC system. But decided to make use of the public holiday to bring my parents to Mad For Garlic in Suntec City. Its a chain restaurant from Korea and serves Italian cuisine with a Korean twist featuring, you guessed it, garlic!

Interior of restaurant.

Dracula Killer. Garlic cooked in olive oil and anchovies.

Garlic Snowing Pizza. Garlic pizza with shrimp and pineapple. The server added the 'snow' (shredded cheese) for us at the table.

Garlicholic Rice. Garlic fried rice with shrimp and asparagus.

A delicious serviette. Lulz I had nothing better to do while waiting for the food.

I'm not a big fan of garlic (only came here cos my dad is a garlicholic) but I loved the food here. Especially the Garlic Snowing Pizza, it definitely lived up to its hype. Dracula Killer was all right, I liked dipping the bread into the olive oil. Garlicholic Rice was quite spicy, even for my dad who loves spicy food. Good thing we didn't order the Suicide Rice then haha.

Second visit.

Spizza @ Club Street

I've been thinking about going to Italy for my vacation this year so I've been doing some reading up on the place and looking for recommendations on places to eat and this has given me a mad craving for pizza. And not just any pizza from a fast food chain, I was craving something more authentic, a pizza that was at least baked using a wood fired oven.

Just as I was thinking that, I received an email from InSing.com in my Inbox. A $30 value Spizza voucher for $15. Spooky or what! It's like they read my mind. Since the deal was not valid for delivery, we had to go down to the restaurant to use the voucher. The place was kind of a bitch to look for under the hot afternoon sun but I think it was worth the trouble.

We ordered large Franca (Tomato, Mozzarella, Porcini Mushrooms, Pancetta Bacon), and 2 drinks. The pizza was awesome, so wonderfully cheesy and I loved the mushrooms. They were not kidding when they said they only used the freshest ingredients. The drinks though, were horribly overpriced. $4.50 for soft drinks and fruit juice?! WAT. But I guess the same can be said of most restaurants. It just seems especially expensive here since it costs about a quarter of the price of a pizza that can be comfortably shared among 3 people. Oh well. After adding in service charge and GST, we only had to pay another $5 on top of the voucher.

Random. Later I got an earl grey tea latte from Starbucks. It didn't taste much different from just a regular earl grey tea :/

Unnecessary picture. I'm just trying to get used to my camera, practice makes perfect right?
