Oso Ristorante

was supposed to bring cynthia for Sage for her birthday celebration only to realise it has closed down. So it was Oso we went.



complimentary bread...



didnt really try the other bread but i really like their sun dried tomato one.


for starters, we ordered a foie gras each...



i was so excited when i saw the foie gras coz they gave 2 pieces!!! hehe... taste wise, while it was decent, it did not have that very strong foie gras taste. it was soft from inside out. would prefer it a little better if it was more of the crispy on the outside and soft inside kind. but thumbs up for the 2 pieces of foie gras!



we also shared another starter which was the tegamino. its pan fried eggs with black truffle puree and mixed cheese fondue. the person was kind enough to separate it for us.



generous portions of black truffles puree... tasted fine but would prefer if the truffle taste was stronger. my own perception of the cheese fondue before it arrived was a generous or thick cheese fondue but it turned out to be a small swirl... but overall it was nice. they gave some bread for us to dip it.


for mains, cynthia had the Stracci. its whole wheat stracci with braised wild boar in red wine....



cynthia prefers this wild boar dish better to the ravioli. the red wine sauce was very good but i recall it tasted better when i was here the last time with the seafoodies...

our other main is the Ravioli. its ravioli filled with veal in mixed cheese fondue and mushroom sauce...



we both love the cheese cream sauce.. its the pungent kind.. would be better if the ravioli has a little more filling (in my view)... the sauce was so good i almost want to lick off the plate. we finished all the sauce!


for desserts, we had the 70% hot dark chocolate tart with milk ice cream...



cynthia said its nice. i didnt really like it .. not coz its not nice but more coz i generally dont go for white chocolate.

we also shared three scoops of ice cream...



flavours were milk, white and dark chocolate and another was.. hehe.. i cannot remember. but all i remember was liking the milk flavoured one. its quite special in my view.

also ordered an extra vanilla parfait semifreddo with caramelised strawberries...





been meaning to try this since my previous visit here. but my last visit here was a business lunch hence i didnt order it. this was not bad particularly the biscuit like thingy.

overall, service for this place was also really good.
