The newly opened JEM shopping mall is a food heaven and since my
friend's birthday is around the corner, I had decided to give her a
treat.
Don't get deceived by the empty queue outside the restaurant.
Although I'm second on the queue, the waiting time was rather long as
they were full house. When we were first in the queue, we were given a
menu each and invited into the restaurant's waiting area.

| Menu |
3 different kinds of treats on a
platter consisting, calamari, soft shell crab and mozzarella cheese
stick served with its homemade tartar and Neapolitan sauce for dipping. I
was rather surprised to see such small serving. Overall, I will only
give 6/10 marks as I find their batter are not well coated hence, it
drops off easily and makes it difficult to handle while dipping them in
the sauce.

| Primo Combo $14.50 |
Out of these three pasta
dishes, I will give my vote to this! Lemon butter sauce with bacon,
tomatoes and mushrooms paired together with a bed of creamy spaghetti
and chicken meat.
 |
| Chicken Scallopini $17.50 |
One of the best sellers in
its Spaghetti section, this dish is filled with little neck clams with
hints of garlic, red cut chilli, parsley and white wine. Though taste
and presentation is vastly different from the previous pasta, it
showcases one of the many ways spaghetti can be served.
 |
| Spaghetti Vongole $19.80 |
Voted as the best
seller under its Mama's Specialties' section, the oven baked lobster and
crispy fried chicken is served with cream sauce and spaghetti.
 |
| Lobster and Chicken Combo $29.00 |
The only dish that we order that
doesn't comes with pasta. Listed under its Papa's Specialties' section,
these grilled thin pork chops are served with little roasted pipping hot
skin potatoes and Italian vegetables. The pasta sauce that comes with
it are overpowering and if having pork chops alone, it tastes bland.
More room for improvement!

| Pork Chop $19.50 |
The combination blends of
basil, mint leaves and mango juice forms the puree. Comes in a small
cup, it doesn't taste good as expected. Some say it tastes like
toothpaste though and I find that mango taste is minimal.
 |
| Mango Herb Tango $6.00 |
Missing the tiramisu we had in Italy
earlier this year, we got ourselves desserts. The spongy cake with
mascarpone and zabaglione cheese sprinkled with flavours of espresso and
coco powder. The picture of the cake in the menu is different from the
real thing.
 |
| Tiramisu $6.95 |
Served with vanilla ice cream
on the top and hot fudge. The brownie with nuts are perfect for serving.
Just be careful that the plate is hot.
 |
| Chocolate Brownie $6.95 |
Left - Raspberry Soda and to the right, Peach Soda
 |
| Sodas $4.50 / Cup |
The total damage to my pocket is S$136.60 for 4 pax after a 15% discount for OCBC credit card holders.
