Valentine's Date 2015 : Alt. Pizza in Suntec City, Singapore

-
I have to admit that I am very sentimental most especially when it comes to... LOVE. Who can blame me? I grew up thinking that once upon a time, a dashing prince will just sweep me off my feet and we'll live happily ever after. Despite this, I would also hope that no wicked witch would come our way but I don't mind having talking tea cups, 7 friendly dwarves (seriously, Fran?!) or a sassy fairy godmother who can instantly give me a ride and a make me a nice looking gown too.

....Well, at least that part about finding my prince charming became a reality but I don't think the others would materialize anytime soon...maybe not ever. *sigh* That's life!

ALT Pizza SG 5
So, for the past 11 years, my prince, who knows me so well, would ensure that Valentine's Day would be extra special for us. This year, we took the weekend off to have a nice hotel staycation complete with dinner and a movie date too. Nothing extremely fancy as I'm not really a fan of degustation dinners where you'll have to pay so much to eat something that's just as small as a rubber eraser. We just wanted something casual, relaxing and of course, a place that serves good food.

Our movie date was at the new Golden Village Cinemas at Suntec City so we opted to just choose among the restaurants in the mall. We went for Alt. Pizza after hearing raves from fellow bloggers and friends here in Singapore.

ALT Pizza SG 4
Alt Pizza, which stands of Alternative Pizza, is a local modern pizza bar that's the brainchild of Chef Matthew White who used to be part of Extra Virgin Pizza. What makes Alt. Pizza different is the option for customers to create their own pizza. Indeed, no two customized pizzas will ever be the same as you'd get a wide selection of meats, cheeses, veggies and even sauces. For those who wants to play safe though there's more than a dozen different pizza flavors to choose from.



ALT Pizza SG 1
Our meal began with some appetizers. We had the Artichoke & Spinach Dip (S$10) as recommended by our server. It's served with a lot of bite-sized toasted flat bread lightly sprinkled by sea salt which made it so yummy! The dip was creamy and you can really taste the spinach in every scoop. I just feel though that the dip wasn't so flavorful. It may be because of the absence of garlic or maybe adding some diced tomatoes would do the trick? Must be the lovey-dovey spirit of Valentine's Day but my prince immediately announced that my very own Spinach Artichoke Dip is better than this...well plus one million points for him! :)

ALT Pizza SG 2
Moving on, we had the Alt. Wings (S$12). We requested to pull the spicy level way down to mild and an order comes with your choice of spicy bbq sauce or bleu cheese. We initially asked for the spicy bbq sauce as Paul loves anything with BBQ sauce however after taking a bite of my piece of wing, I realized that I still prefer to have this with blue cheese. We just paid for the additional sauce to satisfy our respective taste preferences. The chicken was very tender and perfectly coated into the sauce. I have to say, this is one of the yummiest buffalo wings I've had in Singapore.

It was really really hard to choose which pizza to get and since we were too lazy to be adventurous to create our own pizza, we focused on the Signature Pizza section of the menu. Paul just told me to make my choice as he's pretty much okay with anything (don't you just love him? haha). I went for the Truffle Shuffle (S$14) simply because it's the only pizza with -- white truffle oil. :)

ALT Pizza SG 3
It took a while for the pizza to be served as in we were almost done with our appetizers when it arrived. I tell you, it was love at first sight. Look at this beauty! Our 11" pizza was loaded with roasted mushroom and fennel sausage which made it sooooo yummy. We were able to smell the truffle aroma the moment it was laid down on our table.

To be honest, I was feeling so full already from our appetizers that I even told Paul that we might have to wrap part of the pizza to be taken away after. Well, what do you know? We finished the entire thing in less than 20 minutes! It was that good and I'm so glad I chose this. I will be bold in saying that this just got to be one of the best pizzas in Singapore.

Alt. Pizza is located at Suntec City Tower 4, 01-602 Singapore (facing the taxi stand). Call them at 6836-9207.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
