Caffe B is one of the stunning italian restaurant in Marina Bay Sands. It used to serve Italian cuisine infused with hints of Japanese inspiration. But now, the restaurant focuses solely on serving modern italian delicacies.
The dining room combines the sleek lines of modern furniture and the curves of interior archways with a mix of textured concrete walls with fine Italian wines. Follow the staircase to the second floor, which features a bar that opens to an outdoor patio, where guests enjoy a grand view of Marina Bay.
Lunch started with a basket of warm Focaccia and Olive Dip.
My lunch started with antipasti, which is a Classic Beef Carpaccio ($28). Angus beef tenderloin was thinly sliced and complemented with rocket salad, sliced Mushroom, shaved parmesan, extra virgin olive oil, salt flakes, black pepper with mustard and lemon dressing. The mustard and lemon dressing was too little, couldn’t really taste much of it. But I guessed that’s because the chef didn’t want the dressing to snatch the attention of the beef.
I actually preferred the Fresh Live Boston Lobster Salad ($42) more than the beef carpaccio, perhaps that was because it has more texture. The lobster salad was marinated in light sicilian lemon cream and saffron topped with caviar pearls and tarragon gentle foam. Well executed!
Food always taste better when shared. Ai Frutti di Mare ($45 per pax, min 2 pax) is a plate of perfectly cooked spaghetti with scampi, mussels, clams, prawns, squid and octopus in fresh sicilian tomato sauce with basil, black pepper and chili. Freshness and quality of the seafood shone through. But personally for me, I prefer the spaghetti to be cooked more al dente, the one I had was too watery.
I heard their squid ink tonnarelli is a must try in this restaurant. I shall be back to try it next time!
I like to eat a variety of things in a plate. But when that happens, I often take a long time to decide which one to eat first. Thankfully, Trio Vegetarian Ravioli ($38) only has 3 types of ravioli, so I don’t have to think very long.
I am not a fan of cheese, so I am quite happy that they didn’t make me eat a whole plate of cheese. I first started with the spinach one, because that looked the safest to me. Then, i pop the spinach and ricotta ravioli into my mouth because of the tomato sauce. Lastly, I tried the pumpkin ravioli as I assumed that pumpkin would most probably be covered by the cheese. But thankfully, I dipped it into the green spinach and cheese sauce, which definitely tasted better.
Caffe B seems to be quite particular with the sauce that goes with the dish. Grilled Sea Bass Fillet ($43) was accompanied by sauteed baby spinach and purple mashed potatoes with fennel and orange scent drizzled with rosemary citrus butter sauce. The rosemary citrus butter sauce added a refreshing touch to the sea bass fillet, and the fish was moist.
The Grilled Kurobuta Black Pork Loin ($43) was expertly prepared with green apples and 25 years aged authentic modena balsamic vinegar. The balsamic vinegar absolutely enhanced the flavour of the kurobuta pork. They should drizzle more balsamic vinegar into the pork!
The soft and smooth Yuzu Lemon Pudding ($16) was served with fruits and vanilla raspberry and ginger chocolate sauce.
If you come to Caffe B and never try their classic Tiramisu ($18), it will be a wasted trip for you. THIS IS THE BEST TIRAMISU for me. Each layered biscuits was soaked in espresso and Amaretto, topped with fresh mascarpone cream. You don’t get a very strong alcohol taste, but instead you will get a burst of coffee aroma with moist and slight buttery biscuits. MUST TRY!
Caffe B offers a Express Business Lunch at only $38++. Busy executives will enjoy a 3 course meal with the promise to serve within a time span of 25 minutes. It is great for anyone who has only little time for lunch but want some good quality Italian fare! There are 4 main courses to choose from, you will be spoilt for choice!
