Met up with my favourite girl for our monthly dates on a Friday night. I love nights like this when each of us take turns to bring the other restaurant/cafe explorin'! I love feeling like an explorer teehee!

This time Celes brought me to a nice cafe tucked in a corner at Raeburn Park. It was so difficult to find, especially in the dark. So I would suggest you take a cab into the estate unless you want to walk up an appetite! Reservations were made beforehand so we were ushered in with minimal waiting time.

The set up of the cafe was BEAUTIFUL! It was designed to look like a glass house, with glass ceilings, full length windows and even carpet grass! I felt like I was going for a picnic! I heard that it looks even more stunning in the day, so I will be visiting again. (psst, their brunch menu looks really tantalising. Think Truffle Eggs Benedict!)

Pretty date for the night. Meet my bestgirlfriend/confidant/dreambuddy/travelbuddy! I LOVE YOU!

While deciding on our entrees, the staff served us bread and dip. Was really surprised when they came carrying a paper bag on a plate. The waiter open the bag and small puffs of steam came out from the bag. Such a cute presentation. The bread had this amazing cake-like texture and we really loved it. The dip was special too. They gave us the usual vinaigrette/olive oil, as well as laksa dip! It went amazingly well with the bread. 

I really appreciate it when restaurants are meticulous with tiny details like the quality of bread served. It really builds on to the climax which are our main courses.

We ordered 2 mains, a drink and a dessert to share.

This drink cannot be found on the menu and I really cannot remember its name! But I think if you mention about the 'secret drink' to the waiters they'll be glad to tell you! 

I have never seen SO many pieces of fruit in a glass of drink, they were really generous in making it. It made me so happy just looking at it :D

Pizza Parco

Tomato, Mozzarella, Parma Ham, Hoshimeji Mushroom

and Black Truffle

$22

 We were slightly disappointed when we saw that they didn't serve truffle fries (Me and C's latest obsession), so when we saw this item, we couldn't resist!

It turned out really nice! I like how the taste of truffle wasn't too overwhelming and we could still taste the balanced saltiness of the parma ham. The crust was a tad bit too hard those, I was so afraid my knife would hit the plate really loudly.

Mezzelune di Wagyu

Homemade Braised Wagyu Beef Cheek Half-moon Ravioli

served with Taleggio and Demiglace Sauce

$24

We were fooled by the description on the menu, thinking it would be served in a well-sized portion. We  couldn't stop laughing when the dish arrived with 6 tiny parcels of ravioli. Okay, most of the time I was laughing at C's shocked expression.

That being said, this was THE highlight of my meal. The tiny parcels really pack a punch! Its amazing how the little pinched of beef inside the ravioli can contain so much flavour! If you're a beef lover like me and aren't afraid of the rustic, beefy taste, this dish is made for you!!

Parco Caffe Tiramisu

Classic Italian Lady Finger Tiramisu, Kahlua Liquor and Mascarpone

$12

We ended of our meal with a lovely tiramisu. We wanted to try their highly raved creme brulee but sadly, they don't serve it anymore. The tiramisu did not disappoint though! I hate how some tiramisu's taste like a boring old chocolate cake. But this one was done nicely, perfect balance of coffee liquor, cream and cake. LOVE it.

Le satisfied portrait.
