The Butcher's Kitchen

The rental at Suntec City Mall has once again proven to be too expensive and the Italian restaurant, Boturra, that served some amazing pasta and pizzas, has closed down.  

The Butcher's Kitchen took over the spot and the concept is so similar, I won't be surprised if both restaurants are managed by the same people. 
 
Let's go and try out this new restaurant.

There is a big ice-cream counter displaying more than 20 flavours of ice-cream. Flavours range from the classic Vanilla, Green Tea and Hazelnut flavours to the more adventurous Gula Melaka and Thai Milk Tea flavours.

As opening specials, The Butcher's Kitchen is rolling out two lunch set menus. $9.80 nett set consists of the restaurant's signature Butcher's Burger Dog (choice of lamb, pork or beef) accompanied by either fries or mixed rocket salad; $15 nett set consists of a pasta or pizza (pasta: basil pesto, carbonara, Aglio olio; pizza: margarita, Hawaiian, salami) accompanied by either soup of the day (which is always onion soup) or mixed salad.

I have tried all the three versions of their signature Butcher's Burger Dog with lamb, pork and beef. The patties are well-marinated and mixed with spices and herbs, making the parties more juicy and flavorful. Paired with fresh lettuce and melted cheese and sandwiched in fragrant focaccia bread, it is simply so good.

Onion Soup and Mixed Salad are two of the side dishes. Mixed Salad is very fresh but it's really the Onion Soup that really amazes me. Onions are fried till golden brown and caramelised before hot water is added to turn it into a soup. This is my first time drinking onion soup and I am pleasantly surprised to find no pungent onion taste in the soup.

Three are three options for pizza: margarita, Hawaiian and salami. I couldn't make up my mind, so I asked the waiter serving me to give me a suggestion and he said to try the salami. Truth be told, I have never really liked salami pizza because it seems so bare with just cheese and salami which is a type of cured sausage, but after taking a bit of the pizza, I realized that it is exactly this simplicity that makes Salami pizza so irresistible. The crispy thin pizza base and fragrant cheese make this simple pizza even more enjoyable.

The waiter gave me such a great recommendation that I asked for his opinion again when I went there up try the pasta. I took his suggestion of Basil Pesto and it totally blew my mind way. I have had pesto pasta once before and it was so gross that I avoided anything with "pesto" ever since. The Butcher's Kitchen's Basil Pesto is another story altogether. Freshly-made pesto sauce is cooked together with olive oil and garnished with chopped basil. Neither the basil or pesto is overpowering, everything is in perfect balance. The only imperfection is that the spaghetti noodles are a little soft, but perhaps it is especially over-cooked to compliment the soft and light basil pesto sauce. This is THE basil pesto pasta for me. 
 
If The Butcher's Kitchen's signature Butcher's Burger Dog is any indication of the quality of the meats served here, I am convinced it will be awesome. Even though it may be a little expensive, the pasta and pizza are good enough to warrant a try.

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...
