Dinner @ Villa Di Parma // CLOSED

June 27, 2010 in Italian by thywhaleliciousfay

And I know a particular restaurant has been on my list of restaurants-to-try for too long when their name was still ‘Ristorante De Parma’ when I jotted it in my diary, but they have since changed their name to the present ‘Villa Di Parma’. (^^lll) Oops.

And with that! Instead of checking out the eateries near Parkway Parade as my colleague and I usually would, we went to Serangoon Gardens for a change. =) And before I even entered the restaurant, I already knew what I wanted to order cause I did my homework at HungryGoWhere. Haha.

Shared Dish #1: Smoked Salmon Pizza

And this was one of the two highlights! Not only is it raved by many, I love my salmon (Sashimi) too! Hee. And yes, the pizza was really good. The salmon, the special sauce used and the dough complimented one another very well. Yummy!

And it is a good thing I did my homework before going cause I might have given their Smoked Salmon Pizza a miss if had I judged it solely by its price (As in, not many restaurants are generous with their ingredients or even use quality ingredients despite charging more for their dishes) which really would have been a pity! (^^lll) And it’s no surprise that Suzhen and I managed to finish the pizza even though it was pretty big! =p

Shared Dish #2: Coppa

Was expecting the meat to be served ‘pork chop’ style, so we were surprised to see it being served as a gigantic meat ball. And while I was not in a mood to eat a gigantic meat ball, I got to admit it was not too bad. The meat was juicy and crunchy at the same time as the pork was minced with onions.

Shared Dish #3: Tiramisu

And finally! The second highlight of the night. It’s claimed to be the best in Singapore… And well, I am not sure if it’s the best since I have not tried all the other tiramisu in Singapore. (^^lll) Haha. But it’s definitely divine! I liked how the top layer was mostly creamy with sponge cake (I am not sure if those were sponge cake or lady finger biscuits) placed randomly in it while the bottom layer was totally soaked! =p

Food:
We ordered their signature dishes, and the signature dishes did not disappoint!
Service:
The staff seemed a little hostile. I wonder if it’s because I turned down his offer to give us recommendation (But I did that only because we already knew what we wanted). But they warmed up a little later to suggest enthusiastically that we should try their Chocolate Fondant (Which we had to give a miss as we were too full) when we were ordering dessert.
