Where to go for Authentic Italian?

vito_corleone SG

make your own using italian ingredients. its hard to find authentic simple italian fare at good prices and besides, italian food differs from region to region

The best place to go for Italian is...ITALY! Go figure!

Haha--sorry, I couldn't resist.

Do you think that the Italian food will be 100% genuinely Italian? I would think that it would be more "Asianized Italian food," just like the "Americanized" Chinese food in Michigan.

Gross.

You come my house I serve you my fantastic carbonara. Laughing Door gift is a brand new n80, but the catch is that the door gift is you buy and give me at my door.

vito_corleone SG

there's actually no such thing as italian food. people from the south will not touch northern food like risotto and vice versa. italians are ultra conversative when it comes to food..everything outside their hometown tastes bad and to them their mothers are the best cooks Laughing

vito_corleone SG

pancetta to be exact..its the italian equivalent of bacon Laughing

Mumbo Jumbo SG

Which is what im doing! Laughing But reality and theory very diff, so I need to see how its truly done, instead of just from cookbooks. Pamper myself once in a while la, haha, birthday was just a while ago.
Also stuff like charcoal grills or roasters are just so not HDB.

Do you cook your own italian? Maybe you could teach me! Smile

The beauty of italian food is that it is so diverse and has so many regional variations.

ben1406 SG

porta porta's at Upper Changi Road North.

You can even choose to have an italian set dinner that's not on the menu and entirely based on the whims of the chef.

vito_corleone SG

been there. but unless your father's bill gates you can't possibly fly over whenever you have a craving for something innit Laughing

watch david rocco's dolce vita if you really want "italian" or if you don't mind a mix then jamie oliver's good. Laughing so far i'm still an amateur wanna-be cook but i can make a pretty above-average pomodoro (stole the recipe from watching jamie oliver's great italian escape). his books are also available at borders but sometimes its hard to find the ingredients needed and even if you can they're quite taxing on the wallet, the quality of the ingredients found here somehow just aren't as good when compared to what they get in italy Laughing teach ah..i not good enough ah..ask ben he's a training chef

Mumbo Jumbo SG

I love dave rocco's! Damn nice! But his goofing around is sometimes quite corny, and a waste of time when we could be learning more dishes.

Jamie Oliver's italian escape is great. We can really see the italians passion for food, and analyse their tastes, esp when they trash jamie for being different.

vito_corleone SG

jamie's the goofier one with the funnier antics. rocco..i hate his accent its somewhat "pseudo-american" to some extent. and it isnt as fun watching him cook..he's like keith floyd..more "reserved"..and gosh they should take floyd off the air, he's like the worst chef on DTL..super messy food anyhow mix here and there, everything's a stew in some way and he keeps repeating the same damned phrases "my latest chum", "absolutely delicious" Laughing

tarutaru SG

Cantini also quite good

Mumbo Jumbo SG

Rocco was an italian brought up in Canada, if I'm not wrong. I also dislike floyd, his food really looks unappealing.

Jamie needs to reel in his swearing tho, its a big turn off.

Try La Porchetta in Fremantle. Very Happy
