Chapter 55 and The Orange Thimble at Tiong Bahru

Simply love the Xmas festive season! It's all about eating and frenz gathering. Our lunchies decided go for a post Xmas lunch and gathering today at Chapter 55 at Tiong Bahru. They are having a one for one promo for some dishes on the ala carte menu. 

We met up at the restaurant around 12pm and there were still vacant tables. Chapter 55 is a cosy cafe with wooden furniture and decorations. 

We ordered 6 mushroom soups, 2 caesar salads, 2 pastas and 2 pizzas. 

The mushroom soup was little watery but could taste the mushroom bits every mouthful. Not fantastic but still acceptable. 

The caesar salad was ok. Portion was ok but not too fantastic either. Here comes the main dishes: seafood spaghetti (seafood fried in aglio oglio style. Not spicy but a little plain in taste. Ingedients was quite stingy as mostly was noodles), spaghetti carbonara (simple carbonara with bacon. Not fantastic as well. Too milky in taste), bonito pizza (ham pizza with Japanese sauce and bonito flakes. Delicious pizza but a tad salty), Hawaiian pizza (simple ham, chicken with cheese pizza. Delicious as well but nothing too special) 

Overall, this place is nice to catch up with frenz but food is only worth it with the one for one promo during lunch. Else it would be considered as quite expensive. 

After lunch, we went to The Orange Thimble for a drink. We ordered Picollo latte, a double shot latte, matcha latte and mocha. The coffee was good with the right roast. 

The matcha latte was a little sweet but still acceptable. The latte art on the other hand was not well done. Looks like some amateur latte art.

Modesto at Vivo City

We were here for our colleagues' farewell lunch. Making use of Eatigo discount once again, we did a reservation for 8 persons at 30% discount off all ala carte menu including drinks.

For starter, we went for our favourite: Fried calamari. The calamari was lightly fried with thin layer of batter. Not too oily and still retaining it's tenderness, the calamari goes really well with the tartar sauce.

For mains, we ordered 3 pasta and 3 pizza to share. For pasta, we had seafood fried in Aglio oglio style, mushroom and ham fried in cream sauce and lastly beef lagsanae. 

The aglio oglio was spicy and it was very fragrant and seafood ingredients so generous. Large succulent prawns. The mushroom and ham pasta was well done as well. 

To the right flavouring and texture. The beef lagsanae on the other hand was a little disappointing. Too much pasta layer with too little minced beef. 

For pizza, we had chicken, pork and smoked salmon version. The pizzas a little too salty, especially for the smoked salmon. All of us preferred the teriyaki chicken with onions best. 

The least salty of all. Ambience was nice. Quiet and allow frenz to chat for a long time without being disturbed. No complimentary water but need to buy 1 mineral water at $1 each. 

If not for the discount, the price would be considered a little too pricey. So since the offer is on, catch it while it last.
