We made a reservation for a Sunday night, which was quite crowded. The menu is simple, and there are only a few items on it. Still, I had difficulty figuring out what to eat because it was so freaking chim—we had to ask the staff for help. Here's what we got.

For starters, we had the Burratina (S$28), served with persimmon, lime vinegar, basil oil, croutons, and sweet basil. The burrata cheese was heavenly—soft and creamy, with a milky taste. Absolutely loved it.

We also had the Mafalde (S$35), which came with pork sausage, broccolini, fennel pollen, and chilli oil. I wasn't the biggest fan of this dish as I thought the sausages were too salty. I did like the mafalde pasta, which was thick and chewy, and liked how the chilli oil gave a bit of an umami flavour.

For dessert, we had the Tiramisu (S$15), consisting of an egg nog tiramisu spiked with Amaretto, and sprinkled with cocoa powder. The tiramisu had a light texture, and I liked how the taste of the alcohol was subtle. We also tried the Crostata Di Pistachio (S$18), which was a cold Sicilian pistachio tart with sea salt, served with gelato.

After trying both Bar Cicheti and Pasta Bar, I have to say that I prefer Bar Cicheti. The portions here are larger, and the dishes are more value-for-money than those at Pasta Bar. The desserts here are pretty good too. Taste-wise, I would say Bar Cicheti and Pasta Bar are on par, but if I had to consider my wallet, I'd choose Bar Cicheti any day for their generous, worth-the-money portions.

Thanks for reading, and see you next post!
