The pizzas are the thin crusted kind, and I tried the Smoked Salmon and zucchini pizza. The pizza had a tangy and not too salty tomato base, and the salty smoked salmon tasted great. The zucchini slices offset the salty flavour of the salmon and the melted cheese was super duper yummy. Best of all, it's pretty affordable at about $6 per slice (If I remember correctly that is...). You can take it away too - which will be even better since you won't have to pay service charge.A piece will be enough for a small eater I suppose, but for the general public, the portion is enough so that you'll have space to spend on dessert. Which is a good thing since the desserts here are quite interesting.
Galbiati has so many desserts that I spent a fair amount of time agonizing over which one to eat.
Of course, when I try a new italian restaurant, I will definitely try the tiramisu. The tiramisu is quite a small portion (but i really can't remeber how much it costs) but the marscapone cheese taste is distinct and there is a splash of alcohol - though it's not as generous as Fren(s)h's one.
I liked the Lavander Cheesecake (I love all thes herby-aromatheraphy tasting stuff). It's the heavy kind and the lavander taste (and smell) is distinct. Furthermore, paired with the decadant vanilla cream sauce, the cake was heavenly. I was quite stuffed by the time I finished my heavy cheesecake and my pizza.They don't serve water - which is quite sad for a dessert place. HOWEVER, they made an exception and gave us a glass of warm water when we requested for it since the desserts were very sweet. If they serve water, I would really recommend going to this restaurnat - the service is above average, and the staff are knowledgable.

I was feeling indulgent after eating a very healthy dinner it Isshou (at The Central). I ordered a Waffle with Alfonso Mango and Lemongrass, and added a scoop of 
This is another waffle with Jack Daniels Ice Cream. The ice cream is very yummy and the alcohol taste is really strong. And it goes really well with the generous amount of strawberries. The next time I visit I shall go and get a Honey and Lavander Ice cream waffle with strawberries topped with chocolate sauce. I think the waffle is about $13+ with ice cream and fruits. 
This is the Raspberry Chocolate dessert (can't remember the exact name) which has a mousse-like chocolate with a little hint of raspberry. I think it was about $6? Not too sure cos this wasn't my dessert though I koped some. But it wasn't really fantastic - maybe cos my waffle was so delicious! 
Shokudo is a japanese Marche. I've been to Marche once, and never again. Well, we all know where this post is going to lead to, but nevermind, I shall try to make some objective reviews...
Here's my not-so-oishi Grilled Chicken Chop with Omelette Tomato Rice and Lettuce Leaves. At $6.80 in this pretty ex place, it's a steal in Shokudo. The chicken chop is pretty big in size, but not on taste. Pre-cooked chicken chops are grilled to a crisp on this smoky grill with other meats such as sausages, salmon, beef etc. It tastes of nothing and the only way to make it more palatable is to add copious amounts of chilli and tomato sauce. It's cooked pretty fast despite the que - actually, I chose this dish (out of the sooooo many other Japanese 'stalls' which had ramen, sushi, sashimi, teppanyaki, tempura, yakitori, Japanese Curry, etc etc) cos I thought the food was the most-worth-it in terms of value for amount of meat and portion size, as well as because (horrors of horros) - THE QUE.
Homemade Cheesecake ($3.80) which was not too bad - creemy and drizzled in strawberry sauce. I wanted to try the ice cream waffle ($6.80) actually because it looks really big and nice, and it's the soft kind but then I didn't have much space left.
This is the Green Curry with chicken. For me, a good green curry has to have the 'correct' ingredients such as cilantro, basil, eggplants, the green-coloured eggplants (which are small and round and have lots of seeds. ma-keua bprawh) and this pea-like green plant (I have just learnt that it's a specific type of eggplant called ma-keua puang). Most Thai restaurants in Singapore tend to omit the pea-like eggplant. 
The pad thai had the right texture - slightly sticky and chewy. The first time I went there, it tasted really good cos there was enough fish sauce to give the pad thai its distinct smell and flavour, and it had just the right amount of tamarind paste and sugar for it to be sweet-sour. The second time I went to Aroy Thai, the taste was quite off and it was way too sweet. But at only $6.90 for an ample portion it's a steal.
On this plate, there is the Poo Ja on the left and the prawn cakes on the right. The Poo Ja is crabment mixed with chicken (or pork?), marinaded and stuffed back into a crab shell. It's then deep fried to give a crispy goodness. It's served with pickled cucumber and shallots.
This is the Stuffed Chicken Wing ($3.90)- it's sold per piece, and there is NO minimum order required. (Which is quite good, most restaurants make you get a minimum order, even those BBQ chicken wings in hawker centres - I mean, they're already bbq-ing it already so why is there a need for a minimum order?)
It's completely boneless and stuffed with minced pork. The minced pork tastes likethe one in the Poo Ja. I really wonder how they manage to keep the chicken wing in that shape while frying - how come everything doesn't just disintegrate and fall into bits in the fryer? This must be the bestest way ever to eat chicken wings- no need to tacle the two bones in the wing! :D
Fried Seafood Rice ($6.90) which tasted somewhat like normal fried rice with seafood.
Olive rice ($6.90). The olives were salty and gave the rice lots of flavour, but I didn't quite like the garlic - maybe the garlic was overcooked so it was slightly bitter. 
Red Ruby ($3.50 per bowl) nothing very spectacular but I kind of thought the red rubies had a rose after taste - may be my tongue playing tricks on me cos I was eating this to cool down my very very hot and painful tongue after eating all the spicy food.
Mango Sticky Rice Dessert ($10.90). It's a whole mango - ripe enough to be sweet and juicy, and yet not mushy and bruised like the overripe kind. The sticky rice was soft and chewy (not dehydrated at all) and served with a splash of coconut cream. 
Macarons in the colours of the rainbow + chocolate :D
The photos look v nice right? Cos I took out the big fat camera (it's a Canon - I like Canon Cameras!) Makes me feel like a slug cos I hardly bring out my ixus and rely on the pok hp camera which doesn't do the yummy food justice - I shall be more hardworking and bring out at least the ixus when I go to good food places!! 
This is my current wallpaper - just ytd night I was telling pok that i feel like I can reach into my screen and pull one out - and Pok thought I was mad but Claire was thinking the exact same thing!!!!
