Make the most out of your mealtime with our round-up of timely treats
Valentine’s Day may be over but that doesn’t mean the end of all things delicious. In fact, there’s more to savour no matter what you’re craving for—from casual but delicious tze char dishes to refined Italian fare.
1. Dolce Vita
Monza-born chef Giorgio Maggioni now helms this Italian place, and he has made the menu his own by injecting original creations that warrant a second visit. It’s a crime not to order the pasta, and one of the standouts is the freshly made pappardelle tossed with fork-tender lamb ragout, crispy artichokes, and finished with a light but creamy Pecorino cheese sauce.
Ready for mains? Resembling an art piece, the pan-seared turbot is artfully arranged on a plate of slightly bitter endives, zingy citrus and smooth cauliflower puree, which all serve to elevate the fish’s natural sweetness.
But if you like your steak, the wagyu beef tenderloin from Tajima, Japan, is a good option—even better when you savour it with the salt-baked shallot, chickpeas and red wine jus.
