The Short Review

Price Range: $17-$23

Nearest MRT: Queenstown

Instagrammability: High -
Marbled surfaces, dainty utensils and a shop full of antique paraphernalia quietly lend ambience to the meal.

Food:
1) Buffalo Mozzarella & Parma Ham [$17.00]
To expectations. Parma Ham's always good. But we won't be rushing back to order this again.

2) Pulled Pork Risotto [$21.00]
Both risottos had a texture which could've been creamier, but the Pulled Pork plate consisted of more banal flavours. Who knew truffle oil, shaved Parmesan & pulled pork could be so unexciting?

3) Spiced Risotto & Grilled Prawns [$23.00]
Featuring Indian-inspired spices reminiscent of curry buns, this heavily Asian-leaning Italian dish's highlight were its fresh prawns.

The Bakehouse (by Carpenter & Cook) is probably better known for their pastries, such as the easily recognizable "stiff peaks" of the Passionfruit Meringue Tart, but hey, let's not let their April 2016 entry into the Entertainer catalogue go unnoticed.
