L'Arte Pizza & Focaccia @ Guoco Tower - Roman-style Pizza By Bulgaria's God Of Italian Pizza Chef Radostin Kiryazov

L'Arte Pizza & Focaccia, located at Guoco Tower, is brought to you by Chef Radostin Kiryazov, widely known as the Bulgaria God of Italian Pizza, who has won countless prestigious awards at the World Pizza Championship.

L'Arte Pizza & Focaccia is a takeaway kiosk whereby customers can look forward to Roman-style pizza that comes in a rectangular shape. The pizza has a light crispy texture with ample bite from its generous air pockets within.

Tartufata 4.2/5

We tried a couple of pizza flavours on the menu, starting with the Tartufata ($9.50/slice | $34/whole). It is probably my favourite for the night. The base is spread with mozzarella and truffle cream with ricotta cheese, topped with parma ham, rocket leaves and parmesan.

Cotto Funghi 4/5

Another beautifully flavoured pizza is the tomato-based Cotto Funghi layered with pork ham, fungi, oregano and mozzarella cheese.

Burrata Salmon 3.5/5

Seafood lovers can go for the Burrata Salmon, paired with smoked salmon, burrata cheese, peppers, zucchini and olive.

Funghi 4.2/5

The dining groups' favourite went to the Funghi pizza, boasting earthy aromas from the truffle cream and assorted mushrooms, with the mozzarella cheese giving it a layer of creaminess.

Melanzzane 3.5/5

For the vegetarian, there is the tomato-based Melanzzane pizza topped with aubergine, mozzarella cheese, chilli flakes, garlic and parsley.

Nutella 4/5

Lastly, we had the dessert pizza - Nutella ($6/slice | $20/whole). It is drizzled with nutella before being topped with banana, strawberry and mint leaves. It is the very pizza that won Chef Radostin first place in the Pizza World Championship 2005, Dessert Pizza Category.

Spice Brasserie @ Parkroyal on Kitchener Road - Lunch 茶 Buffet

Spice Brasserie at Parkroyal on Kitchener Road has recently launched Lunch 茶. In just one seating of four hours long and at one price, you get to indulge in a lunch buffet, followed by an afternoon tea set. The buffet offers a line up of Malaysia and Singapore inspired dishes that warm you up with familiar tastes and flavours.

Braised Black Vinegar Trotter 4/5

I was surprised to find a very homely dish - Braised Black Vinegar Trotter. Bringing flavours from his hometown, Penang, Executive Sous Chef Patrick Ooi uses Gula melaka in his recipe to develop his version of this family classic. The perfectly braised egg is a star of its own too.

Penang Fried Kway Tiao & Carrot Cake 4/5

Other notable dishes from his hometown include Penang Fried Kway Tiao and Carrot Cake, and if you drop by for the weekday lunch buffet, there will be Penang Assam Laksa as well.

DIY Popiah station

One of the highlights of this buffet is the DIY Popiah station - The turnips was very well stewed with dried shrimps and mushrooms, alongside fluffy shredded eggs and crunchy beansprouts.

DIY Rojak

I had a lot of fun at the DIY Rojak station too, that is filled with chopped juicy pineapples, cucumbers, green mangos, turnips, crunchy youtiaos and beancurd skin.

The buffet line also comes with a live Pratas and Naans station, serving robust fish curry and rich butter chicken. Right beside it is the station where you can order a handpulled Teh Tarik to complement your warm and fluffy pratas and naans.

Chee Cheong Fun

Lo Mai Kai

Other delights include local style dim sum such as Chee Cheong Fun, which is one of our favourites among the dishes, as well as Lo Mai Kai.

DIY Muah Chee

There's even a Muah Chee station too, in which you can simply load your plate with heaps of the well roasted crushed peanuts!

This new Lunch 茶 (pronounced as Lunch-‘cha’) buffet serves you an Afternoon 茶 Set after the lunch buffet ends at 230pm, which allows you to continue to chill with your loved ones till 4pm. Each set comes with free flow of tea and coffee. Featuring Asian sweets such as Nonya Kuehs, you will also get interesting creations such as Portuguese Durian Egg Tarts.

The Saturdays and Sundays Lunch 茶 Buffet is priced at $45 nett per person.
