. The Tasting Palette .

Sunday dinner with my family at Pregos. Bad choice because we ended up paying $30 for valet parking for 2 cars as the carparks were packed due to the IT fair at Suntec City Mall.

How could I have forgotten about that?!

Thankfully, dinner was enjoyable. I actually just wanted something simple- pizza and antipasti. And yes I got that at Pregos. As I have probably mentioned before, I like the antipasti and pizza served at Pregos but I'm not too certain about their mains . This is especially so after my bad experience with the seared fish I ordered.

However, I absolutely LOVE the antipasti platter- You get a healthy mix of everything which is definitely great to share amongst your dinner mates. The melon and parma ham was heavenly. I've always liked this anti-pasti dish- it's so simple yet always satisfying. The melon and parma ham are a match in heaven!

Antipasti platter: my favourite was the parma ham with lemon and the buffalo mozerella cheese with the freshest tomatoes served with rocket!

For mains, I shared a calzone (a folded pizza) and a lasagna with my dad and J. The calzone was good. Loved the myraid of ingredients in it and the geneous portion of chewy mozerella cheeze. The lasagna is something that I have not eaten in a long time. I used to order it a lot when I was a child- it was my comfort food with tomato paste, cheese, pasta, and beef. The one at Pregos brought back fond memories of my childhood. Their lasagna was good; both J and I thought that the taste of the beef is still present and not overwhelmed like many other versions.

My sis ordered the farfelle with salmon served with a creamy vodka sauce. She enjoyed that a lot beineg a fan of cream-based sauce. My mum ordered the pan seared snapper which she too enjoyed but I still remain dubious about their mains.

We skipped desserts because we were too bloated and full to even share one.
With that, we ended our Sunday on a good albeit full note.

Sis's vodka-infused farfalle

My mum's pan seared snapper with rosemary

The calzone that looks like a huge curry puff

I couldn't resist the almond bar so I bought it for breakfast! It's really good: Almond filling in a light pastry topped off with more almonds and icing sugar!
