This time round, we tried another Italian restaurant at Chip Bee Gardens – Michelangelo’s; one of the competitors to Da Paolo outlets around that area.
I like the red bean dip they served, besides the usual olive oil and balsamic vinegar to go with the bread . The red bean dip was really nice, I believe it will be as good to have with celery/ carrot sticks *yummylicious.
As a start, we ordered an Insalata di Spinaci, which is a salad of warm baby spinach tossed with bacon, walnut, vinaigrette and crumbled Greek feta cheese. It was a fairly decent antipasto.
For the main, we had Griglia di Misto di Mare, a medley of char-grilled fillet of Barramundi, marinated calamari, slipper lobster and USA diver scallops, which are lightly bathed in garlic butter. Ohhh, and I love the truffle mashed potato served together with the dish. I have been missing truffle mashed potato badly since I last had it in Melbourne. That restaurant in Melbourne which I went to, served pieces of black truffle together with the mashed potato; that was the best mashed potato I have ever had *drools.
We also ordered a Frutti di Mare, served with our choice of sauce and pasta. We chose to have it with zesty tomato and spaghetti. The pasta was cooked to al dente, but the sauce was not as good as we expected. The tomato –based pasta that I had at Da Paolo was better.
As we were indecisive if we should go for the back by popular demand Sticky Date Pudding or the nobody does it better Tiramisu Tradizionale. So, we decided to have them both. LOLs.
The so called back by popular demand Sticky Date Pudding was a disappointment. I personally find the sticky date pudding at Marmalade Pantry a better option.
Luckily the Tiramisu made our meal complete that night. (p/s: I am not sure if nobody does it better, but it was definitely better than the Tiramisu at Da Paolo, grins).
