Pietrasanta

Hidden away in Portsdown Road is a lil gem known as Pietra Santa.
(thanks Dan for recommending!)

Its quite amazing how the entire Portsdown Rd area has evolved since AC days, a mere 5 years ago.
I would get lost on the road into Portsdown now ! it used to be a straight road all the way in, now there's Fusionopolis and so many junctions that I had to blink to make sure we didnt take a wrong turn.

The whole area's been redeveloped as Wessex Estate, another Rochester or Dempsey, but its got a less crowded feel to it.
Colbar's still there =)

Pietrasanta's housed in the old Judo federation building, its quite amazing how the place has been transformed into such a lovely restaurant.

Arrived late- cos Tim & Calvin got back from the Tampines trail late =p
(an epic drive from Serangoon to Portsdown- Pls do not ever drive like that again!)
the appetizers were just amazing - the buffalla that melts in your mouth , such a rich milky taste. the yummy bread and balsamic vinegar. n the simply succulent tomatoes 'fresh from italy' sorry no pics !!

The Steak

The main reason we were at Pietrasanta was to try the 1kg steak - which Dan had talked about n got Tim dreaming about it for weeks.
It definitely didnt disappoint !
Plus we got to take home the huge T-bones too=)Cooper was happy too!


Dessert

The Tiramisu - was TO DIE FOR. the best we've ever tried. the mascarpone cheese was just the right consistency, and the coffee & liquer was not too sweet, not too heavy.
beat's Pete's place hands down anytime.
time to make Tiramisu again=) when ur home




La Tarta de Pinocchi

The tart was calling out to me the moment i stepped in the door - n it was as yummy as it looked!





the xocolata blanco version was a tad too sweet for my
liking - a lil like orange chocolate.







but overall,a great meal, with amazing company.bliss=
