I have previously heard Lionel telling me about it and he was telling me how good the food here is. Its vegetarian but he told me meat lovers like myself won't feel uncomfortable... or rather, its what we usually say, chi de bao BUT chi bu shuang. haha... he said the dishes will be so good, we probably won't notice the absence of meat... woah... so when Inn Leng said she's bringing me here for my birthday celebration (err.. yaya, my bday celebrations have not ceased yet.. haha), i was quite excited!

After visiting their website, i realised Original Sin is a sister restaurant of Michelangelo's Group of Restaurant, located along Chip Bee Gardens....
we took seats inside.....
i let Inn Leng do the ordering since she's been here before and its her favourite restaurant.
For salad, we had the Principessa ($16)...
Avocado, asparagus, mushroom, tomato, bocconcini, French beans, roasted pumpkin and mesclun, with a balsamic vinaigrette. It was indeed good. Ingredients were fresh and a good fix. What i thought was special was the roasted pumpkin. Portion was good as well. It is a little pricey but considering its fine dining, i guess it works out there.
Next up was the Magic Mushroom....
the menu says its baked portobello mushroom stuffed with ricotta cheese, spinach, pesto and pine nuts, topped with a tomato basil sauce and mozzarella. Its really GOOD. The mushroom is about the size of my palm! and the toppings, all the cheese and spinach (and i love the pine nuts)... its a little pizza-ish style except the bottom is mushroom. i like it!
Following on is the Bosco misto ($25)
Its spinach, feta and tofu patties served with sautéed button mushrooms in a plum sauce and topped with asparagus. The mushrooms and asparagus went wif for me. The tofu patty was alright but not quite what i like. I mean, it is nice and im sure alot of other people would like it. its just a personal preference.
and pasta wise, we had the Broccolini ($24) ....
Aglio olio style spaghetti tossed with baby broccoli, spinach, asparagus, artichoke, fava beans, pesto and parmesan. This item is so tasty! And i especially like how they give thick, shaved pieces of parmesan instead of the fine kind. I'd say this dish and the magic mushroom won me over for tonight.
desserts wise, Inn Leng went for the brownie wif coconut sorbet. Their brownie is made w/o eggs which suits Inn Leng. and to replace the typical vanilla ice cream we haf wif brownies, they replaced it wif coconut sorbet.. how thoughtful!
i tried a bit of it, found it pretty alright. I mean, i dun find it amazingly wow.. but its good.
as for me, i went for the mud cake...
Its not the mud cake like the coffee club's.... which i koe alot of people like it coz its like one huge piece of ice cream.... i kinda prefer this kind where its really a piece of cake, slightly warm, slightly textured and blends so well wif ice cream!
Thank cute Inn leng for the dinner treat!
