Saturday Dinner@Giraffe

A restaurant cum bar in this 2 storey structure previously occupied by Bboss. Most seats are on the second floor, while the first storey is the bar area with some sofa seats.

We got a outdoor seat while the indoor area is surrounded by glass. Lighting is dim and Plaza Singapura is just across the street.

Food selection is limited and pricey maybe due to the crowd which has quite a number of ang mogs.
After 7:30, it gets quite packed with people tricking in.

Main course starts from $16 for a creamy mushroom pasta. I ordered the marinara which is spicy seafood linguine. For desserts, the Lava straightaway caught my attention !

And they do not serve ice water as well. Cheapest is evian at $3.90. Coke is also $3.90 !!! Win oredi !!! NTUC only sell around $0.50 for a can of coke, almost 500% hike.

The creamy mushroom pasta is so creamy and cheesy that it becomes too overwhelming as one would struggle through the dish. But the taste was very good.

Portion was quite big and will filled you. My marinara didn't disappoint as well. Mussels, scallop, prawns and squids filled the big plate.

The sauce has a tingle of spicyness which is just nice and has a crunchy bite which must be coming from the chopped ingredients in the sauce.

As we eat, we can see waiter panting and trying to catch their breadth. Travelling up and down the staircases by leaping a few steps at a time with a humungous tray lifted with their hands and supported by their shoulder. Tough work !


Desserts came, Lava, is like a chocolate muffin in a cup and chocolate sauce filled in it. A scoop of vanilla ice cream lay beside it. Eating it warm is very nice, the cake texture is soft enough.
It looks better when it came, this was taken when I already started eating it.

The tiramisu with expresso was also nice but abit sweet. This layered desserts did not disappoint.
