The Valrhona Hot Chocolate Soup with Pepper Ice-cream is a signature dessert. You dip a sesame crisp into the molten chocolate, and it tastes sensational. Then put a small scoop of the vanilla ice-cream speckled with black pepper into your mouth, and you have a marvellous combo.
You cant leave Osia without having the orgasmic Seafood Ice Experience. You will totally enjoy working your way through six shooters of flavoured crushed ice
We were sharing the shooters, and I was wowed by the Quandong Orange Campari Ice with the shrimps, and the Lychee Martini Ice with oysters. I didnt get to taste the rest. Next time, all the six shooters will be mine!
The Seafood Ice Experience is S$32 (RM77), the Macadamia Pesto Flatbread S$11, Valrhona Hot Chocolate Soup S$22.
On the a la carte menu, two main courses that leap out at you include Tasmanian Milk Fed Lamb Short Loin and Shank with apricot jam, puffed wild rice, butternut hazelnut puree and garlic jus (S$62) and Moreton Bay Bug, Hand Dive Scallop, Sea Clam, with fried lychee red king crab, yellow lemon gel, bacon foam and lobster sugo (S$63).
The restaurant also has a set menu for lunch, at S$32 for two courses, and S$42 for three courses. Among the courses that catch my eye is the Compression of Pickled Watermelon with truffled goat cheese and micro cress (appetizer), and the Australian Beef Hanging Tender with chestnut mousseline and balsamic vinegar sauce (main course).
From Osia we went for a walk around Universal Studios, stopping for an awakening bone-rattling, water splashing, spider-biting Far Far Away: Shrek 4-D Adventure.
We met with David Hamamo, vice-president of Food and Beverage, Resort World Singapore, in KTs Grill. He tells us that there are 14 restaurants and 22 food kiosks in the park, which on a busy day, turn out 25,000 to 30,000 meals! We serve anything from cotton candy and flavoured popcorn to foie gras, and comfort food like chicken rice and nasi lemak, he said. We have six halal restaurants. Food is part of the culture here in the theme park. The Asian market in Singapore is value oriented, and we make sure the pricing is correct.
Hamamo names Louis NY Pizza Parlor as his personal favourite, as the NY thin crust pizzas are difficult to find in Singapore. Popular too are Mels Diner, Discovery Genting (for local favourites like chicken rice) and Goldilocks Fried Chicken they outweigh the local ones here.
So here we are at Louis NY Pizza Parlor, and deciding which pizzas to order as we gasped at the 20-inch ones that kept appearing at the nearby tables.
There are four signature pizzas Margherita, Chicken Tandoori, Original NY Pepperoni, and the Hawaiian. Each pizza (they are just one size) can feed at least five adults.
The Tandoori Chicken Pizza was generous with the roast chicken, onions, fresh coriander and green chillies. It was drizzled with mint pesto and altogether it tasted good.
We also had a half Hawaiian and half NY Pepperoni Pizza. You certainly cant fault these pizzas in their toppings every inch of them was filled up.
You pay S$42 for a whole pizza; a slice of it is S$9.
