Lucali BYGB - Expensive Romantic Candle-Lit Restaurant

When Lucali BYGB first arrived in Singapore, everyone was crazy about this collaboration between New York pizza restaurant Lucali and the BYGB group.

Lucali BYGB - Night

My first encounter with this pizza restaurant was when a colleague bought a huge pizza from them for my farewell party. Even though it was too big and I ended up being half the pizza home, but the taste was impeccable.

I wanted the whole experience so I made plans to visit the restaurant with friends. You actually have to key in your credit card details when making a reservation on their website. For cancellations in less than 24 hours or no show, you will be charged $50! I think this is a bit too much!

Location

Lucali BYGB is housed in Kallang Rivergreen Building, which is a little troublesome to get to. The nearest MRT station is Lavender, you will have to walk another 10-15 minutes to get to the location.

There is a rambling shack of a restaurant on the ground that many mistake for Lucali BYGB. You will need to take the lift to level M which I believe stands for mezzanine.

Decor

Lucali BYGB - Restaurant Front

Lucali BYGB is nothing I expected. I was expecting chic funky New York-style decor but it is in fact very classy and minimalistic.

The elevator door opens to a huge Lucali BYGB black and white menu.  Pull open the thick opaque door curtain and you will be greeted with clean minimalist design. The floors retained the tiled design while thick black tables and cushioned benches run in parallel lines.

This is one of the few places in Singapore that uses candles to light up the place. The warm flicking candlelight makes this the perfect place for dates or Valentine’s Day.

The Food

Lucali BYGB - Menu

This is their menu for your reference.

Lucali BYGB - Wines

Every table comes with a bottle of cold still water and cold sparking water. If water is too plain for you, there is a whole row of wines near the entrance to choose from.

Lucali BYGB - The Big Sald

For starters, we got The Big Salad [S$25]. It came in a huge plate, piled high with radicchio lettuce, asparagus, salami, provolone cheese, olives and tomatoes. It is fresh and appetizing, the perfect start to any meal.

Lucali BYGB - Our Original 18 Pie

For main, we got their famous Our Original 18” Pie [S$55]. The price is more eyebrow-raising than the pizza itself.

It is a simple pizza of just buffalo mozzarella, mozzarella, parmesan and basil with optional roasted garlic. I personally find it a little too oily and it gets overwhelming just after 2 slices.

Lucali BYGB - Banana Meringue Pie

For dessert, we ordered Pie of the Day [S$15] which happened to be Banana Meringue Pie. This dessert pie was the highlight of the meal. The banana pieces inside were so soft, the pie base was perfectly buttered and the meringue tasted amazing.

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...
