Menotti

We've already had it all planned. Desserts at Menotti! Take full advantage of their 50% off desserts after 10 pm!

Together, we walked over from Clarke Quay to Raffles City.....



They had around 7 different desserts left so we ordered 6 of it.



ok, introducing the desserts one by one....

the strudel ($5.50)....



Its apple pie with golden raisins, pine kernels and vanilla icecream. This was the least popular item for the night. All 5 of us were going for it for the smooth ice cream but not the strudel. In fact, we didnt quite finish it. It was hard and the apple was pretty sour.

Tiramisu ($5.90)...



Its mascarpone cheese cake with ladyfinger biscuits, coffee and cocoa. Pretty funny a shape, taste was alright but i think i've tasted better tiramisu.

Cannoli ($5.90)...



This is a tube shaped chocolate pastry stuffed with ricotta cheese, citrus fruits and pistachio nuts. Tried it before during my visit with Jeffrey previously. Kelvin and i agreed that it tastes like one of our childhood snack..

Collon...



haha.. but of coz.. this one is a much bigger version.

Cassata Siciliana ($5.90)...



Its smooth ricotta cheese, dark chocolate chips and citrus fruits enrobed in pistachio marzipan. Miss Piggy (Lyndi) ordered it when we were here previously. I personally dun like it coz i dun like almond taste but the rest were pretty ok with it.

Crostata ($5.90)..



This is fresh exotic fruits tartlets. Basically its rasphberry fruit tart. I found it very ordinary. In fact, i kinda prefer Delifrance's tarts. Ailian agrees with me but Kelvin found the fruit tart ok.

Duomo ($5.50)...



This is mascarpone and spicy cream with olive oil sugar dough. I left Duomo to the last because it is THE BEST! its SO SO GOOD! i love it! Also the most popular item of the lot! Funny how initially when we were ordering, this item didnt quite catch any of our eyes. heh.. but this is really good. The bottom is a biscuit like crust. The top is some cream custard like textured thingy which goes so so well with the biscuit crust. The whole cream custard layer is held in place by a certain jelly like membrane. There were also traces of the spice that was above as deco (i didnt manage to taste it but apparently the rest did). This Duomo is so so good in my view. heh..

The bill came up to $20.20! So cheap!
