Skinny Pizza: What a Crack!

My friend was insisted to visit Skinny Pizza at Suntec City after I told her about their famous truffle fries. We were placed at the waiting list; a result of the usual crowd during a rainy Sunday night. Despite the popularity, the spaces available remained small, but still cosy enough for us to sit and enjoy the vintage decor.

The truffle fries was fried with truffle oil, giving a nice aroma of truffles. The waitress told us to consume it without any dips, as the fries on itself has uniquely flavoured.

As for their name, the pizzas here are really "skinny", with crisp crusts that gives a loud crack and crushed a little when you cut it. All pizzas are served with mounted arugula leaves. The three of us had 2 pizzas to be shared, as one portion of the overly thin pizzas are not enough for us. The above picture is the Grilled Salami Pizza. Instead of grounded, they're using fresh basil here. I like the idea of using some pine nuts to accompany the salami (extra crunch!).

I like the Chorizo Almond Pizza better, the combination of almonds, olives and smoked chorizo was just wonderful.

This one is the other unique items on their menu: Savoury Ice Cream! There are three flavours available: Parmesan Pecan, Mexican Chili and Truffle Mushroom. Parmesan pecan sounded a normal but chili and mushroom? As we've been curious about their tastes, we decided to try the truffle mushroom ice cream. The first bite reminded me about creamy mushroom soup eaten straight from the fridge. After taking a couple bite, I couldn't take it anymore. Two scoops of that was too much, I think. 

Other than that, we also tried their spanish donuts (churros) that came with a coconut flavoured chocolate dip. The dough was very soft, slightly crunchy on the outside and not too chewy like a normal donut.

Overall, it was a nice meal for those who like their pizza light and enjoy some cold "mushroom soup"! ;)

A visit to the zoo

Singapore Zoo is located on the northern part of the island. People who lives in Singapore for quite a while will know that there's not many places we can go apart from the crowded shopping districts. The nature can do a good job in relaxing and refreshing our mind. So my friend and I decided to check out the zoo on a sunny weekend.


Since we went there during the daytime and haven't had our lunch yet, we decided to try the pizza from Pizzafari. They have these Italian square wood fire-baked pizzas that looked very tempting. We chose two from the displayed: spicy chicken pizza and mushroom pizza, $7-$8 each.

The pizza crust is just nice, not too thick or too thin. It was nicely done on the outside but still soft and a bit chewy on the inside. A portion of it could be filling enough. Generous amount of mozzarella and tomato paste used makes the taste even nicer. They put simple toppings on the pizzas, makes them more original like the Italian version.

There are not many eating places that we can choose from the zoo area and most of them are fast food outlets. Pizzafari is located at the entrance, fuel your energy up before the long walk.
