Hi,
We’re back at Compass One again. Well of course we’re always here, we live in this town.
So now we visited Olivia & co, the latest cafe in the mall.
Retro themed decorations everywhere with quirky knick knacks like that petro pump thingy, cute isn’t it?
Well cute as it is, we’re here for the food, its dinner time and we’re freaking starving! Olivia & co has two outlets. The first I think was at Suntec City, of which… I did not visit. What do you expect me to say? I don’t usually dine in a cafe, tonight was something once in a blue moon. Olivia & co serves food from all over the world, from Asia to Europe to America, whatever you feel like having, you can have something from somewhere around the world. Wow that was confusing. But the fact is that we had pastas.. and a flat white (I can’t help it).
This is the Laksa Pasta. Large juicy prawns served in the spicy laksa msg cream is awesome and jelat too. As always, laksa always give me that explosive-spicy-salty-sweet taste at the first mouthful, I was happily eating the first half of it till the thick creamy taste made me jelat.. 3/5
Florentine Carbonara was really good though, I only had a few mouthfuls because Claire couldn’t finish it. Typical of my rubbish-bin role in our marriage. It was creamy and salty like how a good carbonara should have been. My mind screamed ‘delicious!!’ 3 times because I only had 3 mouthfuls before I finished it. After that I even lick the plate clean.. Ok that’s way too gross, of course I didn’t do that, I just scraped every single drop of the sauce off the plate with my spoon. 4/5
The menu courtesy of Claire:
Will I come back again? I certainly would, on one of those days I feel rich. Because normal days I’ll eat an average meal an average Singaporean couple would go for. Olivia & Co is worth a visit, whether you wanna fill your stomach or just wanna chill out. Since its along my way home, I bet I’ll be coming back again real soon.
