I (heart) Pizza- @ Kabe no Ana

Thursday, February 14   keyboard  


Night

 Hearts and the flash of western romantic flair. Complete elements for Valentine's Day. 


 How about a bit of Japanese. So as the labourers to pitch a way for a perfect meal.


Kabe no Ana would have the means to do that, because it lies in the borders of Western-Japanese. Some illusionary dishes it has come up with- spaghetti with shoyu sauce, lady's fingers, eggplant and lemon, beef and natto in your meat sauce. Fusion rice and pizza. So bold- how far can it go for diners' acceptance this year. 


 Valentine's Day Set for Two (SGD 34.90)
Hearts {are} melting, though losing its shape. 


 To complex dimensions, the salad comes with cheese fondue sauce and grated cheese, spaghetti- baked, and the pizza a trendy skinny, but grated like puff pastry. As expected {of here}.

 P.S. Phenomenally, cheese stuck out from the surface of the pizza. It was a light dressing of something from the land (spinach) and something from the sea (salmon). The crust was smoothened and slapped into irregular ends, grilled and battered almost like an okonomiyaki. Unlike a traditional pizza.

Skinny Black Pizza

Monday, June 28   keyboard  



17 June, 2010

The Loud, and aggressive, House@Dempsey attacks the market(dempsey hill) with a strong dining concept; striking menu in equally brash language. Food Rawrism, not Raw Foodism; no cream(butterfat and gelatin), no mayonnaise(yolk and emulsifiers), but whole foods.

Branching into sub-brand Skinny Pizza (Suntec, Raffles city, Wheelock Place), one wonders at the kind of cuisine served the bottom of this quaint treehouse. Eastern; western, no, on the dot. Middle; whatever we've got here. Golden goat cheese; unadulterated fat in soups and breads, basil and lemon; whole, straight from the garden, triple berry, not jam tucked in breads; anti-oxidants, fads of Singapore, extra virgin olive oil(even barbeque chicken knew of the knack). So it focuses on freshness and wholesomeness. Like the Italians?

Probably. Just that you will also sight chilli, curry, and coconut rice, amongst the dappled rainforest sunshine; its location is a tourist spot for the locals. Whilst suburban, its the middle quality, not western; not asian, but the buzz of the local cicadas in the depths of dempsey hill a price ticket for city travellers, novelty-seeking youngsters and blue-collared workers. Therefore probably or not(italian); sights and sounds are already incorporated as part of Barrack's menu.

(Green)House, located in the woods(of singapore), covering everything from your head, toe, to stomach. Confused? House@Dempsey is the corporation; housing a Barracks Cafe, serving you for the stomach's component.

Be it your first, or multiple visit, do make one here for the country's foliages!

The brassy menu, which made me fell in love with Barracks. (Other than the food).

Going off on the dining experience is Jack And The Beanstalk! The proportions of the table and ceiling are blown off, so that diners can have a sense of disproportionation sitting at the table under a huge table. However everything else is relative in size so you know you have not entered a giant's House.

SQUID INK (SQUID INK CRUST) (SGD 23.00)

And the multiple visits could have been this. Not carbohydrate mains, not pizza; not 'dough', squid ink 'crust', lest people not know that it is black(squid ink). Stiff, airy, crisp; it is more like the dry peaks of a meringue, dyed in black, its unevenness prevails, like that of a bumpy surface of a wall. Why don't we have rooms painted in black? This is how your wall will look like in black.

The ancient pizza way- cheese is a dash of mozzarella; tomatoes tomatoes, sauce squid ink sauce. (We assume that there wasn't an industry to process cheese or curdle tomatoes at that time of the House, leaving squid ink the only sauce to meddle around with.) (Pizza; in its ancient version, bore some significance before being addressed as an invention.)

Readymades! Distinct in their forms still, there is no mire of toppings or flopping of baked layers to create an incoherent taste or look. This is more like a seafood roast- calamari, squid and shrimp cajun; plentiful ingredients with simple preparation, atop the sides a parsley garden salad. And the crust?

Skinny pizzas the best invention of the pizza yet- assimilating with the silverware, it becomes a seafood roast!(with paper plates for your barbeque party). It is simply too unearthly to be taken with seafood, (roasts do not need carbohydrates; Crust do not have vegetation growing on it).

P.S. At that time of the House; with the dyeing of the carbohydrates black aside, it was also noticed that squid ink was used as the 'sauce' over the seafood, and 'pizza'. The Barracks!!{not italian ancestors now}; on pizza sauce and barbeque sauce! It was so black that we wish ketchup and barbeque dips wasn't invented!!

Black Pilaf

Saturday, June 26   keyboard  

20 May, 2010

Not to be challenged, I returned to Pasta de Waraku: who can only use al nero di seppia in black foods, but misos in the colours of spaghetti, wafu cream, and crab cream on the rest. Mouth-watering and mellow western italian cuisine (retracting) with obsolete chinese/asian ingredients; I say.

Squid Ink Pilaf Pizza (SGD 18.00)

Having survived tribulations of wet, black carbohydrates, your nostrils flare at the outmoded device-squid ink- on pizza again. Another squid ink pizza. When all seems crystal clear, the unfamiliar term pilaf is detected. Squid Ink ????? Pizza.

With these, vocabulary expands. The idea of a black-grained pilaf variety, pizza in pilaf variety, pilaf in squid-ink variety, squid-ink pizza in pilaf variety is thrown out of the window. Al nero delusion- is the squid; ink, pilaf or pizza black with a pilaf(somewhere)?

The coast is clear. Main course double, a calamari dance upon 2 distributions: rice pilaf and pizza dough. Outrageous orange, groovy grape, flashy fruitade the japanese-italians knew that calamari paired best with heartwarming risottos(rice pilaf) and/or thin-crust pizzas. The rice pilaf was tasty, simmered in{black} chicken broth; pizza thin but not a biscuit.

There are only 2 dividends: one carbohydrate and two presentation. Western carbohydrates; rice pilaf, spaghetti and brioche toast together with chinese carbohydrates; rice noodles and brown rice. Italian presentation; pizza, pastas and cake and japanese presentation; sushis and curry. Join the dots(lines) and you will get rice pilaf on a pizza! And the possibilities augments.

P.S. Create your own food, think of a new combination today! To get brioche toast on cake(presentation), psst- check out dempsey hill, barracks cafe. Smashing strawberry, cool ice-cream soda, zesty zappel, punky peach zappel.

Black Pizza

Wednesday, June 23   keyboard  


15 May, 2010

Serving the roots of singapore's elegant skyline Raffles City; Sapore Italiano has no window, making it stand out from the rest of the chill-out bars on a saturday night.

Decked out in red lips, the pout emphasizes the spirit of the bar, Sapore meaning taste, or flavour. Together with its colour combination, a common pick for black; being a non-colour, is red, the colour on the extreme lengh of wavelength discernible by the eye, for Sapore Italiano.

Italian food, Italian music, flat-screen TVs with Italian programmes, the colours lead you onto an Italian experience: Italy that should have houses in black and red furniture. In this house, one also cannot forgo the House speciality, authentic Italian pizzas that are black and red.

Nera Con Calamari (SGD 22.00)

Black pastas, I've had them before. Carbohydrate whites drenched in black squid ink; sinking the teeth into long noodles before releasing ducts that are black with a marshmallow-white centre, or carbohydrates black in a transparent sauce; because carbohydrate whites have been dyed with squid ink in the milling process. Both black as midnight depending on which step of the cooking process you are talking about.

But this? Its black pizza alright, because the pizza's black; the sauce red. From what I know, it is the squid's ink doing again. Maybe because its Italian, I am beginning to love Italian cuisine. Look, the yellow's missing. (It's missing in the house too.) Why do we need cheeses on pizza? Because it is created by the Italians?(Pizzas, in the first place with cheeses in the menu/recipe?) Probably not. We think twice on foods, just like who thought of adding sauces onto subs, and why garlic bread when we can eat whole garlics like these on the pizza; no corned dices to impede us and our garlic.

Onto the paradisaic again, this pizza has wonderfully fresh calamari on a bed of squid ink crust(it has just squirted. I wonder if the DNA's the same). Fresh and sweet like whites of a boiled egg the calamari; and tender and moist like freshly slaughtered the dough of the pizza. With a decent amount of tomato sauce; allowing the squid's ink to resurface now and then, its bullseye(d)! Chomping down (from all 8 slices) a total worth of 50 points within minutes.

Coppa Della Casa (SGD 20.00)

Everybody, this is the first blue food I log in! Even if the fruits were white, I would still log in as rainbow because blue is the colour usually left out among the 7. Where is the indigo; it has got to be the fat blueberries. Water-retention succulence, I envy Sapore Italiano just above Jasons Market Place; (I'd go there to pick from its fresh
deli everyday).

Beautifully hand-crafted, (I don't think machines were invented for cutting fruits); the fruits anchor on a pink and white gelato. Gelato is Italian's version of ice-cream, non-fat milk used and sucrose added instead of sugar. There is also green guava, white pear and pineapple inside! The gelato made them chill like ice pops.

P.S. Italians did invent the pizza, but pizzas with tomatoes and olive oil. Try on a sauce-less sub today!
