La Ristrettos @ Novena Medical Centre #08-37
Weekdays operating from 8am - 6pm.
Sat and Sun operating from 8am - 1pm.
My new favourite chill out place to be when I end work at 2pm.
I don't usually think that good-looking place serves good-tasting food.
But the food at La Ristrettos excites me to no end.
Breakfast starts at $8-$14
And the pastas and mains are soooo flavourful and tasty.
The coffee is aromatic and of quality.
This is hands-down the best mushroom soup I have ever tasted!!!
It puts ALL OTHER MUSHROOM SOUPS TO SHAME.
我是说真的。
No joke, no fluff, just humbly-blended with a variety of mushrooms,
It has this meaty texture with a slight tinge of bitter aftertaste,
which makes a very good umami flavour.
Very plain looking right? NO. IT IS SO GOOD.
This is creamy-tomato pasta, with sliced garlic that you can chew.
It is very comforting food for my stomach (or belly).
Sandwich with fried chicken and avocado and mayonnaise and parmesan cheese.
I love avocado.
Carbonara is very flavourful as well, you can smell and taste the bacon.
Slurps.
If you are not eating and just having coffee, the outdoor seats are perfect for chilling.
It's shaded by the buildings around, quiet with the sound of running water from possibly some water fountain.
And such nice crockeries / Instant mood lifter
Truly a hidden gem with very little people.
WARNING
Everything was nice, but this was a disappointment.
Caramelized banana with nuts and ice cream.
See you there!!!!
