Fish Ball Noodles, Street Food
The fish balls at Ru Ji Kitchen may be inconsistently shaped but Chiefeater Luke Soon found that there is bouncy delight in this asymmetry


Italian, Pasta, Non-Halal
This is a local (read: very local) Italian bistro nearby us in Holland Village. The server spoke Chinese, so that was a sobering start. Here’s the official blurb: Madrinaa Italiano is a popular Italian restaurant located in Singapore. The restaurant offers a wide variety of Italian dishes, from classic Italian favorites to modern interpretations of Italian cuisine. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, with a warm and inviting decor. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is always fresh and delicious.
First observations: a rather simple menu featuring basic pastas and antipasti and carne. Limited wine list as well. Bracing for impact, and since it was a neighbourhood meal, we all chose pastas. My family went with all the basics: bolognese, aglio oglio, seafood cacciatore and for me – the humble puttanesca.

The cacciatore. Basically seafood spaghetti wrapped (baked) in paper.

Everything was a 6/10, that’s my view. We thought the pasta was either overly dry (probably left in the pass for a little longer than expected), or too salty – my puttanesca had one too many Italian anchovies in the sauce.
Total damage SGD274 for 4 pastas and a bottle of wine. 6/10 overall but probably a non repeat. Maybe 5.5/10
