They call this the risotto. Points for presentation though.

Not your usual risotto or even Italian. This is just a snack and don't order it as your meal. Only to be had if you are feeling adventurous.

Mushroom was too less to taste. Mostly just the rice bowl. Soft and chewy but with really mild flavor.

3 on 5. Hit and miss for me

Not bad for the price. Pepperoni was less than expected.

The pizza size was good. Taste also satisfactory. I wouldn't come here just for the pizza. This is only 1 of thr options.

Rating 3 on 5

Fish & Chips and a soda drink for 13

Fish was well cooked and not too floury. The size of the fish could be bigger. Fries seem fresh and had a nice seasoning with some mayonnaise on the side.

Summary: 3 on 5
Decor is great. Presentation is nice. I would not call this a value for money place. Glasses for water are not clean. Staff also not upto the mark. A hit and miss for me.

4 Course Dinner at only $88 nett per couple! 🥗Starter - Sautéed Portobello Mushroom, Garden Salad with balsamic vinegar.
🥦Soup - Creamy Brocolli Spinach Soup.
🍴Choose a main course;
Pan Seared Sea Bass or Oven Baked Chicken Thigh or Rack of Lamb.
🍰Cake of the day, served with coffee or tea.

Overall the dinner was quite enjoyable, and I really like the soup and the mains. The cakes are pretty and it will sure impress your date. Major plus point is the reasonable price. Dinner is on from now till 14 February.

Brunetti started in the year 1985 when Brunetti started trading along the Faraday Street in Australia. Over the years, Brunetti expanded around Melbourne, Australia and in 2011 opened its first international location in Tanglin Mall, Singapore.
Tanglin Mall is strategically located at the junction of Tanglin Road & Grange Road. It's near Hotel Jen Tanglin!

Thanks @singaporefoodlisting for the invitation and @brunettisg & @tanglinmallsg for having us!

Honestly forgot the name of this dish, but it was a seafood pizza (~23). Pretty disappointing as it tasted fishy and slightly one dimensional, with not much substance or additional flavour. Only saving point was the crust which was thin, crispy and to my liking. Probably won’t be back unless to try something else like their desserts

6/10

Finally made a proper visit to @brunettisg for the first time recently! (I’ve been to Brunetti once before as a child and had cake but can’t remember much.)

Brunetti is a Melbourne chain that’s opened an outlet in Tanglin Mall for as long as I can remember.

For local cafe standards, the food here is decently priced for what you get. It does get a little busy and on our trip down we found it to be a little under-staffed. I think there’s no service charge, so help yourself to the water! Also I think there was some misunderstanding over the phone as to whether we could use the @entertainersg app on the weekend, but when we were at the restaurant, we heard another customer using it but oh well, the food isn’t too expensive so we aren’t that disappointed 🤷🏻‍♀️

The scrambled eggs at Brunetti is the dry variety (don’t expect something soft and runny), and there’s a lot of truffle and a considerable amount of pepper mixed into the eggs (not that I’m complaining!). The salad was fresh and had lots of vinaigrette. As for the toast, it was quite normal, could be served hotter and crisper, but it was a generous amount.

On the whole, a filling breakfast that’s reasonably priced. It didn’t really leave that much of an impression on me but if you’re looking for a simple, quick breakfast that will leave you feeling full and not out of pocket, Brunetti is a safe bet! It’s also a pretty family-friendly place with a fuss-free, straightforward menu and there’s plenty of fanciful cakes and gelato on display.

The food is nothing to write home about - extremely average: no special innovation, not memorable flavours - but the menu offers a decent selection of bistro-type dishes: pastas, salads, pizzas, fish&chips, one burger, sandwiches. Friendly staff, whose main task is to bring the dishes and drinks to your table after you have ordered and paid at the cashier.

Heard a bit about Brunetti and how impressive the cakes are in Australia, so knowing that there is a branch here in Singapore, I decided to check out what they have on offer!

The Pear and Cheese Crumble ($10++) comes as a surprisingly delicious baked dessert to me because I'm usually not a big fan of American-style cheesecakes as they can get pretty cloying. While the cream cheese flavour is strong with this cake, it is not heavy. Pairing up with poached pear gives the cake slightly sweet notes to the cake along with the blackberry jam. The base of the cake is done with chocolate chip biscuits, but I did not really get an impression of that while having this. Topped with a blackberry to finish, this cake is such a joy to eat along with some tea or coffee, although the steep price point might leave some feeling skeptical before ordering. 🤔

@$8.50 per cup of 2 scoops (use entertainer app 1for1)

I am a sucker for ice cream.

🍨

Eating gelato just reminds me of my trip to Italy where I would go store to store to eat different gelato.

So many flavours, not enough money, not enough stomach space

So I walked past this lovely cafe in Melbourne so many time, ogling at the well made cakes and old fashion pastries. But sadly never once set foot into it.
And finally, back in Singapore, I chanced upon the cafe again at Tanglin, and went in for a quick dinner. The cafe, is quiet, at best almost empty, with spacious seating and setting of the old Victorian style cafe, that I see a lot back in Melbourne.
Wild mushroom and black truffle risotto ($21), huge portion and utterly simple. Filled to the brim with brown and white button mushrooms, living up to the melbourne's generosity. Well-cooked risotto, that isn't too hard or mushy, smelled absolutely heavenly from the truffle oil (most definitely), well balanced and not overpowering. The cream sauce, which I thought would be too thick and "jelat", was in fact light and complimenting. Overall, it's a great dish, that is value for money.

As a fan of gnocchi, this managed to live up to expectations with a chewy and doughy mouthfeel. The basil pesto sauce was creamy, thick and flavourful with a characteristic herbaceous minty flavour. Coupled with a pleasant crisp-crunch factor of edamame beans, juicy cherry tomatoes, the top layer of melted mozzarella was thick and gooey, where I wished there was more of it 🙈. (PS: From now till end August, make a @chopesg reservation to enjoy 1 for 1 promotion on the pasta/risottos here! ✨). .

Lying on a bed of milky cream sauce, the risotto was done to a soft albeit grainy consistency with a pleasant firmness to the bite. Mixed in with mushrooms and black truffle, the end result was one that was flavourful with a pleasant earthy note and an aromatic, lingering truffle flavour and aroma. Along with a substantial portion of chewy, juicy and well sautéed mushrooms embedded in the risotto, the shallow pool of white cream sauce was creamy albeit light and not too overwhelming, a combat to dryness and an enhancement to flavours. .

An uncanny resemblance to the old school traditional bakery, in terms of both flavours and texture, just a little thicker. Thank god for the impressive gelato that managed to compensate for the disappointment in waffles! As for the flavours of gelato, my choice was: dark chocolate, yogurt and salted butter caramel. My personal favourite would be the salted butter caramel which came with a lingering pleasant salty aftertaste admist the luscious, caramelised sweetness. Texture for all gelato flavours was also smooth, creamy and a melt-in-the mouth kind. Dark chocolate, on the other hand, was bittersweet with a rich cocoa flavour. Being dairy free, do expect a stronger cocoa flavour that would appeal only to chocoholics! The yogurt was tangy and refreshing, a good counter balance to the other sweeter and richer counterparts. The butterscotch syrup , which I requested to serve separately, was thick and viscous, akin to a spread for the waffles instead of a syrup. Wouldn't mind coming again for the gelato but as for the waffles, I think I will just probably give it a miss.

One of the nicest donut I ever tried.
Not overly sweet and oily.

This is formed by stacking several profiteroles filled with zabione cream, then covered in dark chocolate glaze. Thought it looks pretty too :)

This is taken the fourth stop of our cafe hop that day! Pictured is a cute orange cake with yuzu, orange jelly and flourless pistachio sponge.

One of the better burgers with depth in flavour. Fries always go well with burger. Mains impressed me more than how the pretty cakes taste. Willing come back again to give their cakes another try
