Sarpinos Pizzeria

I am a regular customer of Pizza Hut, I wouldn't say a fan though since I have not tried all the different brands. But I guess the reason for being a regular customer of Pizza Hut is that whenever pizza is being mentioned, the first restaurant chain / delivery service that comes to my mind is Pizza Hut. Perhaps, it is the name that makes it easier to remember or that I did not put in enough effort in finding out more about other pizza-chains.

Recently, I just noticed of Sarpinos Pizzeria located at an unattractive corner at the basement of Bugis Junction when I have been to Bugis Junction for countless time and could almost draw out a floor plan. So I decided to try a pizza that's not from Pizza Hut. (Btw, do take note that the outlet for Sarpinos Pizzeria at Bugis Junction is only available for takeaways.) 

Hawaiian ($4.50) and Pepperoni ($4)

What makes this different from Pizza Hut is that, the crust is thinner and quite crispy. The ingredients are bake to a degree that is just right, neither too soft nor too hard. And the pizza still taste as good when you re-heat it for about 2 to 3 minutes, it does not turn out to be as hard as a rock.  

Another thing I like about it is, the cute little triangular boxes for takeaways! 

Now, I'm craving for more pizzas from Sarpinos Pizzeria!

CoCo ICHIBANYA

Cream mushroom omelette ($13)

Pork cutlet curry ($14)

Been to the newly open Bugis+ (formerly known as Illuma), there are quite a number of eateries on the first level and the bad thing about this is, you cannot really decide what to eat. In the end, we decided to settle for CoCo ICHIBANYA as my friend tried before and was satisfied with it. Something interesting about this curry house is that, you could choose the level of spiciness you want for the curry and even the portion of rice (which I felt is quite thoughtful since most girls couldn't always finish the rice). However, for the creamed mushroom omelette which I have ordered, everything is fixed.

For the omelette, the curry sauce is not spicy at all, it is quite thick and a little sweet. But, I felt that as you kept eating, it was getting quite boring as there were only the egg and mushroom to complement the rice and curry. Personally, I just felt that it is not that worth it to pay $13 for curry sauce, eggs and mushroom only. Furthermore, soggy rice just reminds me of something which I shall not say here. 

On the other hand, I think my friend loves japanese curry rice. There wasn't even a single grain of rice left on her plate. So I guess, it just varies with different people.
