PasarBella (Suntec City): Grilllo

PasarBella is derived from the Malay word "Pasar" which means "marketplace" and "Bella" which means "beautiful" in Italian. Inspired by the quirky and rustic interior of Covent Garden in London and the rich aromatic scents of fresh organic produce in Melbourne's Queen Victoria Market, PasarBella is a marketplace where traders of all kinds congregate to offer a marketplace experience like no other.

I have been wanting to check out this delightful place ever since I have learned of its existence a few years ago, but The Grandstand at Turf City is really out of the way for folks like me who do not drive, so I have been putting it off.

PasarBella has just opened a new outlet at the newly-renovated Suntec City and I am really excited to check out all the awesome foods. In fact, I am so in love with the idea that I am dedicating 2 month worth of post to PasarBella.

Next, let's explore the stall with the bright yellow sign, Grillo.

Grillo specializes in the popular Pan-Asian rice bowl, Japanese-inspired skewers and creative sides.

The Truffle Short Rib Bowl is their signature rice bowl and it does not disappoint. Although I can't really taste the fragrance of the truffle oil, the short ribs are well-marinated and grilled till soft and tender. Mix everything together before you dig in. The egg-coated rice goes beautifully with the smokey-grilled short ribs and fried garlic. I gobbled down this bowl in 5 minutes flat, that's how tasty it is.

The Pork Belly Bowl is one of the newest additions to the menu, but it's a little disappointing because it does not taste as good as it looks. I expected the pork belly to be melt-in-the-mouth smooth, but there seems to be more lean meat than fats in the pork belly.

I ordered one of each of the six available skewers to try them out (Beef Tsukune was sold out), so we have (from left to right): Panko Prawn, Dorry, Chicken Tsukune, Chicken & Leek, Shiitake Mushroom and Zucchini. Shiitake Mushroom left a deep impression on me because the grilling process has sealed in the natural juice of the shiitake mushroom and the sea salt accentuates its natural sweetness.

Garlic Tofu is one of the recommended sides. Personally, I don't really see anything special about it except for the fried garlic slices which give the dish a distinctive flavour and crispiness.

Crunchy Golden Prawn sounded and looked amazing on the menu, but it turned out to be just four pieces of prawns deep-fried with batter and even the sauce is pretty bland but salty.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
