:: ristorante pizzeria giuseppe ::68 prinsep street
tel 633 4823
guiseppe means joseph... heh heh... closed on sundays
i give it ***** stars.
one for the ambience (very nice... )
one for the service (very polite, friendly, know their stuff AND professional! follow all the etiquette rules to a tee)
one for the price (cheap ah)
one for the quality (fresh, authentic, no MSG)
one for the variety of food.
how to get there:
- 5 min walk from hotel rendezvous bus stop
- by car: turn left at the junction in front of hotel rendezvous, then turn right after the first over head bridge. park at sunshine plaza or just right outside the restaurant.
antipasti
insalata cesare (caesar's salad): VERY NICE! the dressing is just nice... the vinagrette isn't too sour, with a dash of white wine along!
calamari fritti: ok la, calamari is calamari, at least theirs isn't as oily or salty as some other places.
proscuitto con melone (ham -pork, with honey dew): um, ok. kind of odd. not my type of entree.
mozzarella con pomodoro (cheese, basil with tomato): it's actually very nice... in a mild, after-taste sort of way. interessante! the basil is the key ingredient!
or u can get the taster, which is some grandi.... can't rem the name. (SGD16)
minestra di zucca (pumpkin soup with pine nuts and lots of other stuff)
very thick. really thick. nice design. not too sweet/salty. can feel all the ground pumpkin.
minestra al funghi (mushroom soup)
not like those you get elsewhere, which are 'campbell' like. uses portobello mushrooms.
SGD5
spaghetti ai frutta di mare SGD14slurp. the nicest i've had so far. reasonable portion, though plate is VERY huge.
fat, no-sand mussels (no xin1wei4), big fresh scallop, squid, pretty large prawns in tomato sauce... with hmmm not sure what the spice is... basil? rosemary?
tagliattello bolognaise SGD14
the usual spaghetti bolognaise BUT tastes SO MUCH NICER! the taste is extremely different from the first (unlike a lot of places where they practically use the same pomodoro sauce). this one's real beefy. that's the mozarrella cheese on top, and the cheese goes very well with this sauce. they had a really interesting explanation on why they do not serve bolognaise with spaghetti. really though out their menu well.
bistecca SGD20
steak, medium rare. really nice. sizeable piece. the grilled garlic is delicious... :D
hmmm very nicely done up steak. heh. i dun usually take steak outside, so a bit hard to compare. the salad's very nice though. i like it that they use wine as one of their ingredients. gives that extra omph to the food!
other stuff available:
pasta: spaghetti al funghi, fetuccine al funghi con salmone, spaghettini aglio oglio (very smart concept, normal spaghetti does not taste well aglio olio)... a lot of others... my italian is a bit dusty, cannot absorb so much at one go.
pizza: lots. din read though
main course: chicken breast, lamb chops, salmone in a packet, risotto al funghi (oooh, looks very nice, next time i'll try that, BUT must wait 20-30min to cook)... lots more.
and then there's WINE... SGD8 per glass... 42 per bottle, vini rossi e bianchi.
dessert: the best is the chocolate cake, but my bro tried the tiramisu instead. u know, tiramisu actually means something like pull-to me-it. or rather, pull it to me? odd.
MUST GO MUST GO!!!
