    Environment humid, wall painting cracking, decor simple, service staffs chatting loudly while we consuming our meals. Ants crawling from the black poles attach to the seating area. One time i was chatting happily with my boyfriend, a service staff named Mike told me that they are closing and if we want to stay longer, we got to pay his cab fare, then we are so pissed off. The boss Rodney told us before that we can stay until anytime. Yet this guy Mike confront us to leave a.s.a.p Is he the manager or ?

    If you wish to dine in a quiet and cool restaurant, don't go to stiff chilli. Service staff not showing any respect towards customer consuming meals and grumble in another language sounds like scolding us, showing us faces that they are not happy.

    Look at the menu carefully before Mr Hairy Mike came over to recommend you expensive food in the menu. If you follow his recommendation, he will service you well, but if you don't he will ignore you walking to counter and chat and laugh loudly among the service staff, a plump fat short malay woman.

    If anyone have the boss email address, I would to inform him that I ever saw the short fat malay woman doing the cashier, stuffing money into her pocket and looking around whether anyone saw her or not? Reason to believe that her reaction at the counter is so suspicious and when another lady from the kitchen came in, she quickly close the cashier slot.

    I ask for the receipt for the whole course, denied that machine faulty, , been wondering whether she did enter the food I ordered in the machine or not, and receive incorrect change from. If got chance to see Rodney, should suggest to him to get a cashier than that fat dishonest woman handling the cashier. Think twice before coming to "dark rotten chilli" restaurant. Humid and smelly toilet, food some not fresh, smells, bread serve with fungi greenish mould.

      Had dinner at Stiff Chilli, a chain of 4 restaurants in Bali and a sole one in Singapore. Owned by Rodney Holt, an Italian - Australian chef, it is so named because Holt liked the offbeat sound of it.

      Complimentary Bread - I honestly don't remember much about the bread except that it came served with a mini platter of sauces, namely olive oil, vinegar and chilli sauce. I remember it didn't come warm and that it was rather dry.

      Burrata Parma Ham - Stiff Chilli flies in the Burrata, a fresh cheese, from southern Italy every week. I personally didn't quite take to it as it was rather bland and akin to eating cold tofu with a milky texture. The parma ham balanced out the blandness, but unfortunately there wasn't enough to go around.

      Pasta all'Inchiostro - The squid ink pasta was actually quite good, lightly sweet and al dente without the light smoky cream sauce being overpowering. It could seriously do with more ingredients, but for the price I can hardly complain.

      Cassata - From what I understand, Cassata is a traditional dessert from Sicily which is essentially a layered cake, with sponge, ricotta cheese and candied peel. Stiff Chilli's rendition was all ice cream and tasted like the mudpies from Burger King. And it certainly didn't look home made or freshly made for that matter. Fresh from a box in the freezer more like it. $6 for this dessert is really pushing it in my humble opinion.

      A sweaty dinner with 1 appetiser, 1 main and 1 dessert cost about $45, which isn't exactly cheap given the quality of food and the whole dining in a crumbly shophouse experience. Once is enough.

      See all my pictures here.
