It was my second meetup with CK this week. With the Covid-19 situation in Singapore getting more and more serious, I decided to make this my last gathering with friend until the situation got under control.
We wanted to try the Italian food at PocoLoco because of their reasonable pricing and good reviews, a restaurant where we can enjoy a full course Italian cuisine at less than $100 in a relaxing ambiance. If you are looking for a quality meal at a wallet friendly price, PocoLoco is the place for you.
We visited the PocoLoco outlet at Royal Square. The restaurant has a cozy and pleasant European style setting that makes me feel at ease upon entering. The attractive point of the restaurant is that they serve authentic Italian food at an affordable price, the ingredients are imported from Italy. We ordered quite a number of items and only paid $30.70 per pax.
Because of the Covid situation, we were the only few customers in the restaurant. It was as though we have booked this whole space for a private dinner.
I had Apple Juice ($3.70++) to go with my meal.
Both of us got Mushroom Soup ($5.40++) which was served in a cute bowl. The creamy mushroom soup brought out an earthy flavour which was delectable. It served as a good starter to warm up our stomach before the main course arrived.
We also ordered appetizer Gamberi ($9.50++) for sharing. The sauteed prawn with butter, garlic & lemon tasted fresh and savoury.
Here comes our main course. I had Mentaiko Pasta ($14.90) while CK had Fettuccine ($14.90). The colour for Mentaiko Pasta was unique, it tasted a bit weird on first bite but I got used to the taste after a few mouthful.
My favourite dish was Chocolate Lava Cake with Gelato ($11.70).
When the cake was cut open, the rich chocolate started flowing out. The warm lava cake paired with gelato brought a different dimension to the taste of the dessert, feeling hot and cold sensation while savouring the food. It was just so enjoyable.
Putting a stop to gathering and minimising social interaction. Hope that the virus can be contained soon so that our life can go back to normal.
