Tien Court's a bit of a hidden gem. Although it's been around for the past 20 over years and garnered a number of dining awards, it's still relatively unknown to the masses.
Service here is amazingly professional and discreet, yet warm and attentive.
The food's a mix of Cantonese and Sichuan classics, and the price points of this restaurant are really much lower than what you'd expect of such a fine dining establishment.
We ordered:
1) Crispy Fried Chicken Marinated with Fuzhou Rice Wine ($16), which was amazingly full-flavoured.
2) Braised Beancurd with Crab Meat and Crab Roe ($16) was also very yummy. But the beancurd was a little water-logged
3) Stir Fried French Beans with Minced Meat ($14) was another hit.
4) Braised Assorted Seafood with Beancurd Soup ($8) was full-flavoured yet delicate, thick yet light

Pontini's one of those candlelit, private, grand piano musically accompanied restaurants that's perfect for romance but bad for food photography.
We like it here. The ambience is quiet and peaceful so you can be assured there's no loud boisterous idiot yakking away. Service is warm and friendly (seriously, everyone from the pianist to the cooks at the oven greets you with a big big smile) but still discreet and unintrusive.
We ordered:
1) Pan-Fried Barramundi in Onion Broth ($32), a fairly large chunk of firm, white-fleshed fish balanced on a few king oyster mushrooms in a pool of rich onion broth. I liked how the earthy mushrooms cut through the sweetness of the onions.
2) Saltimbocca alla Romana ($38) of veal with parma ham atop a bed of prosecco risotto. The rolls of parma ham wrapped veal was very full-bodied and meaty. I would have liked the risotto to be cooked for a little longer, the grains weren't cooked through and soft enough
3) Grand Copthorne Pizza ($25), with arugula and parma ham. I loved the biscuit-thin crust of the pizza that had a smoky hint of the wood-fired oven, the piquant tomato base, the bitter greens and the rich saltiness of the parma ham. Easily the best dish of the dinner

We ordered:
1) Tortelloni ripieni di Funghi Porcini con la Crema di Parmigiano ($26), tortelloni pasta filled with porcini mushrooms in a cream of parmesan cheese sauce. This was delicious. The cream cheese sauce was divinely light, which complemented the delicate mushroom pasta.
2) Pappardelle con Granchio, Spinaci e Salsa di Aragosta ($26), one of the chef's recommendations of homemade pappardelle pasta with crab and spinach served in a lobster sauce. The soft chewy pasta sheets were perfect for wiping up the freshly shredded crab and spinach. The lobster sauce was delightfully light, which was a pleasant surprise.
3) Funghi trifolati ($14), sauteed mushrooms with garlic and parsley, which was aromatic and addictive. This was incredibly light, focusing on the use of fragrant thyme and rosemary for flavour.
4) Minestrone alla Genovese col Pesto ($15), traditional vegetable soup with pesto sauce. This was a variant of the usual tomato-based soup, in the style of north-western Italy (the region of Liguria, where Genoa is its capital). This is clearer and emphasizes on fresh herbs, the addition of the pesto lent a crisp accent to the comforting soup

Gelatissimo's gelatos are generally less guilt-laden than the usual ice-cream offerings from Ben & Jerry's or Haagen Daaz because they use less cream. A perfect icy treat on a balmy evening.
We got the Large Cup ($8.50) with rich and creamy Mint Chocolate (green), Hazelnut (brown) and Toasted Almond (white). My favourite's the mint chocolate, it's refreshing yet comforting at the same time

We ordered
1) Stewed Ee-fu Noodle with Crabmeat ($12 for small), which was as yummy as ever. This is easily one of the best versions of this braised noodle dish around. I love the generousity of the shredded crabmeat and scrambled egg white oyster sauce-based gravy, plentiful straw mushrooms and oodles of softly braised egg noodles
2) Homemade Beancurd with Seafood in Mini Wok ($10 for small) was also yummylicious. The essence of prawns and sea cucumber infused the oyster sauce based gravy with their umami flavours of the sea. But the beancurd was the star of the dish, it was silky, soft and incredibly smooth. Like a baby's bottom
3) Tom Yam Soup ($8 per portion). This was clear, instead of the typical red-hued types. But it was no less lethal, my nose got runny after 2 spoonfuls of this deceptively spicy soup
