A European restaurant in a not-so busy mall. Ekocheras don't usually have busy crowds, so no reservations are required. The waiter was very welcoming when we arrived. Service was superb & they're super attentive too. Quite a hidden gem, I'd say. Mushroom truffle pizza 8/10 : Thin crust, woodfire pizza. Strong truffle taste with abundance of mushrooms. This pizza is by far one of the best pizzas out of so many restaurants/Deli's I've been. Carbonara smoke bacon spaghetti 13/10 : The spagetti was handmade, so there's a nice chew to it. And it is SO GOOD!!! The bacons were thick and juicy. The sauce was definitely from egg yolk and not cream. I'm very keen when it comes to carbonara & i only go for carbonara that's done with traditional italian sauce (with eggyolks). So this dish really punched me in the face when I had it IT IS A MUST TRY and recommend to share. Grassfed ribeye steak medium rare 7.8/10 : Cooked medium rare, and overall, the dish was nice. The beefy taste wasn't rich enough (my preference is heavy beefy taste), and I wished they had more roasted vegetables, though. But overall, it is still a nice dish! Grilled homemade sausage 12/10 : Another star dish that's must try!!! Hand-grinded meat stuffed inside sausage casing. You can truly taste the skillfully handmade sauage. The meat melted in my mouth, and it was so tender, so moist. You could choose sauces for this dish. I chose the mustard cream, and WOW, it is amazing. This dish just left me speechless. The pickled onion on the side also helps to clean the pallete each time. Bacon & orange salad 7/10 : A nice salad with orange slices that are not sour. Chopped walnuts and croutons for a nice crunch. Big crunks of bacon slices. Overall, it was a refreshing salad, but it's just missing a little bit more balsamic vinegar sauce. Mushroom soup 7/10 : Very nice soup full of white button mushrooms. Not too creamy, not too soupy. Just right. For me, it's lacking the brown mushroom umami taste. It is still very nice, though. My family chose this over the French onion soup. Haha French Onion soup 8.5/10 : I've always wanted to try French onion soup. Lucky for me, this restaurant served it, and it did not disappoint! The soup had a distinct sweet taste from the caramelized onion with a little hint of bitterness from alcohol. (Not sure which alcohol they used to deglaze it, either red wine or brandy?). I really appreciate the waiteress letting us know to be careful as the dish was piping hot when it came out. Because I know the soup required melting the cheese in the oven, but most people wouldn't know it. So, extra points for the team for being so considerate! Muddy spell 10/10 : A chocolate drink, with Bailey's and milk froth. The rich, good quality chocolate paired with Baileys was really, really nice. The subtle sweetness yet not overpowering alcohol really hits the spot. Ice lemon tea 9/10 : Finally an ice lemon tea with real tea inside. Some places don't even have the tea taste. You can taste the real lemon tea in this drink. Also not too sweet. Bunny 8.5/10 : A cute yet refreshing dessert. Can taste the zesty orange and the fruits inside. The cake inside isn't dry too. Overall, my family and I had a really pleasant dinner here. I'll definitely come back for the carbonara, sausage & Muddy spell again! Also, want to try other dishes here. The salmon seafood rice looked really good on the menu too. And some other cute looking pastries! I'm surprised this restaurant didn't have 5 stars because it really deserves it. Keep up the good work team!

@tastebychampignons Pizza Omakase collaboration by Chef Gary Chang @tastebychampignons and Guest Chef Ichiro Wong @famento.pizza The pizzas featured were Napoli style with light, airy and a tad chewy texture topped with interesting flavour combinations, like the sweet white corn with savoury Jamon Iberico, and exotic Skipjack Tuna Laksa got my palate in excitement. Antipasti : Begin with a welcome Prosecco, paired beautifully with textural pizza bread to go with vibrant flavours of the Italian, savoury, salty, and tangy mushroom, eggplant, white anchovy, and olive. Followed by a classic Margarita pizza paired with intensely bright Virgin Bloody Mary Cocktail. Next, was the Cameron Highland White Sweet Corn & air dried Jamon Iberico ham with truffle cream cheese paired with a crisp 2021 Corte Giara Pinot Grigio. The contrasting flavours of sweet and salty complemented each other perfectly. Diving into exotic local flavours, the Skipjack Tuna Laksa, with Laksa leaf, pineapple, torch ginger flower, mint and chilli paired with a thick, pungent Asam Laksa soup, that was so appetising. Indulge into a thick, juicy Australian MB6 Wagyu Beef sammy complemented by a comforting, and rich side of caramelised mushroom and onion, poultry pate, arugula paired well with a complex Cecchi Chianti Classico 2017. A sweet lemony pie with vanilla mascarpone cheese served alongside an indulgence of Tiramisu Gelato Affogato to end the night on a high note. The menu was meticulously curated and paired beautifully with delicious drinks. Do check out for their next Pizza Omakase pop-up expected to be held monthly. Insta @yummmmmmmmonica
