Featuring their ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ค๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐. Usually I donโt go for bread during a buffet because it fills you up easily. But this was pretty good - Light, fragrant, cheesy and fresh, but a tad bit dry. You gotta try a piece of it! Together with the rest of the antipasti and cold cut meat, it was delightfully appetising!
By looks-wise, itโs no more glamorous than your standard vanilla ice-cream, but the taste was very interesting. Each mouthful was an adevnture and itโs best to savour it slowly๐. Imagine the powerful aroma of truffles in a sweet, creamy form...You just gotta try it yourself!
๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐๐จ ๐ฐ๐๐๐ค๐๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ก offers a luxurious Italian brunch buffet with a sumptuous seafood spread, an array of cheeses, free-flow foie gras and of course, not forgetting the all-time favourites - homemade pastas, antipasti and more.
I went for their festive weekend luxury brunch on a Sunday, during the Christmas period. Due to covid, itโs more of like courses-style instead of buffet-style whereby they will serve you everything on the menu. You can, of course, ask for additional portions of whichever item you fancy.
Some items that I fancy are ๐๐ค๐๐ ๐๐ง๐๐จ, ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐จ, ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ง๐ค๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ ๐ก๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐จ. Will highlight more of these dishes separately in my future posts so do keep a lookout for it. (For your easy reference, I will be doing a guide to consolidate all my reviews on Basilico weekend luxury brunch.)
Apart from the above, they have some interesting offerings such as ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐-๐๐ง๐๐๐ข!

A thing to note is that the seafood platter Iโd that day was not fresh, except for the crab legs which was good! But truthfully, I was disappointed with the quality of the seafood as Iโd high expectations of Basilico and also the fact that Iโm paying a high price for it.
๐ท๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. You could top up for free-flow alcohol to pair with your weekend brunch selections. Itโs a good idea to enjoy a laze noon with some wine as they have aged-ham, prosciutto, salami and aged italian cheese platters to go along with it.
Next, we ordered the ๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ง๐ ($34). Itโs one of their signature dishes with 12-hour slow-cooked wagyu beef ragout topped with fontina cheese fondue. This was also a hit, with us devouring it within minutes.
Overall, 8.5/10! Although the food is slightly pricey, we would say that it is well worth the price. The ambience was also pretty cozy, perfect for a dinner date out.
Popped by Basilico a while back using a #ChopeDealsSG voucher. Iโve heard such good things about their food, and they didnโt disappoint indeed.
We had the ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ข ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ ($38) which was a southern Italian-style seafood stew topped with generous chunks of sea bass, salmon, mussels, prawns and scallops. The seafood was all insanely fresh and I absolutely loved slurping the stew up. It made for such a hearty dinner.
Unfortunately due to COVID-19, the restaurant is serving ala carte buffet instead. This brings down the variety of food one gets to sample. The menu comes with cold cuts and seafood starters. One risotto dish, some meat dishes and dessert/cheese. You donโt get to choose what you want to eat, they will serve you a predetermined plate of food for each course but youโre welcome to ask for seconds.
This is the dessert plate. I love the tiramisu, chocolate tart and the brownie like cake.
