Lunch at Coffee Club again! I love going to the Coffee Club at Paragon because it's not very crowded on weekdays and sometimes, we get to hear soothing live performances which is held on the ground floor.
Today we had the Spiced Beef with Crisp Bread, this was a pretty nice side. It's quite little in serving but really good. The beef is tender and the sauce is quite sweet and not salty. Though this is quite pricey being S$12.00. We also had the Black Pepper Duck Linguine which is really good for S$16.20! This is the second time we ordered this, but it is quite filling because of the sauce. The sauce is a pepper-ish mushroom sauce.
The Spiced Beef Pizza for S$12.50 was quite nice as well, thin crust bread in a regular but smaller then pan pizza portion.The beef here were chunky and tender. The crust was pretty thin which makes it not as heavy. I tried their newly introduced cold coffee, the Iced Strawberry Chocolate Latte at S$7.50. This was a total disappointment. It tastes just like a regular iced latte with chocolate inside, the strawberry taste was so slight that I barely missed it. There was a few chunks of coffee jelly inside as well. It was nothing special.
And lastly we tried their cakes! really strange choices for today since our mains were something we had before. First up - Green Tea Wasabi S$7.20, was really spicy. The chocolate was completely gone, and I could feel the wasabi feeling coming up through my nose. It was an interesting experience but it would be something I would not be trying again. Next is their Lemon Basil for S$7.20. This cake is quite sour for sour fans our there, the interior is just sponge and some sweet jam to even out the sourness - which is not effective. The basil, unfortunately, I could not taste it at all.
But all-in-all, I still like going to coffee club so I have no qualms about that. Just don't order the Wasabi cake unless you are out for a cake tasting adventure!

So today I went to Skinny Pizza with some of my family members and the food there were pretty good. Skinny Pizza serves really thin pizzas which is really crispy and tastes a little like super thin pita. They have some interesting toppings that is rather different from Pizza hut and Dominoes - example English breakfast. Their décor is pretty interesting like the chairs seems to have a fold-able concept and neon lighted sign.
Firstly we had the Truffles Fries for S$7, could taste the truffle slightly, but its gone after you've eaten it with chilli. It is quite expensive for almost plain tasting fries, and practically as thin as regular fries.
In-between our first pizza came - Smoked Turkey Swiss S$27. This pizza is pretty good, the crust is really thin as I have mentioned and the toppings were like salad vegetables, raw onions, cheese, turkey, and blueberry jam. The jam is quite sweet as I would suggest spreading it a little if you have a huge clump on your piece. But other than that, it was a pretty good piece of pizza.
Our last dish was the Ratatouille for S$20. Now I have never tried Ratatouille both on or off a pizza before. And I would have to say that I will not touch ratatouille ever again. But if you are a ratatouille fan, you may want to come down and try this. Ratatouille is basically made up of tomatoes and with garlic, onions, courgette, bell peppers, marjoram and more. But even though we did not enjoy this dish, we did managed to finish half of it between the three of us.
Also we tried their Raspberry mixed drink which tasted like slightly gassy lychee drink but is really nice. It isn't very sweet either.
But with that said, I will be coming back here, just not in the short term, to try their recommended dishes which is the truffle mushroom pizza and their Capellini which I hear is really good. Why we didn't order that in the first place? Well, it's a different crowd with different taste-buds =)
For tea break we went to Canelé ...
Ciao
