Salad and Soup of the day

For every main dish ordered, it will be serve with a complementary Salad and Soup of-the-day.

Insalata Milanesa

The Insalata Milanesa consists of Mixed Greens, Walnut, Grilled Pear and Blue Cheese. The crisps of the vegetables and the sweetness of the pears made the dish tasted so refreshing. If you love the pungent taste of the blue cheese, you'll definitely love this dish. Well, in this case, I love it!

Baked Eggplant with homemade Ricotta and Basil

For vegetarian lover, you wouldn't goes wrong with Baked Eggplant with homemade Ricotta and Basil. Creamy and incredibly rich with cheese, the dish consisted of strong herbs' flavour, savoury and sourish taste. Eaten with garlic toast, it was delicious.

Polpette Pizza

Thin crust pizza with meatball, herbs, tomato and mozzarella cheese topping. Crunchy, meaty, aromatic and flavourful.

Banana Leaf Grilled Fish Fillet

A little twist on the new Menu, the Banana Leaf Grilled Fish Fillet, which is a Cuban dish, was included. Grilled with mango and tomato, wrapped in banana leaf, the succulent taste of the fish fillet wasn't over-power by its condiment. It was still sweet and juicy. Served with black beans and rice, this is a special dish to try!

Buffalo Prawns

Enriched with Blue Cheese, the Buffalo Prawns Pasta tasted creamy, rich, sourish and spicy. Served with Deep-fried Battered Prawn, the fusion taste of the dish was meant to suits the tastebuds of the locals.
