Had dinner at Saizeriya yesterday and fully expected to be able to drink to my heart’s content. (Not alcohol. Just soft drinks! :D) But we found a notice left on the table and it stated that “Due to Phase 2 regulations, our Drink Bar & Condiment Station will not be available.” (@_@) It seemed too late to walk out of the place as we’d already scanned the SafeEntry QR code and had been ushered to a table all the way inside the restaurant. Oh well. I’m not sure which Phase 2 regulation disallows drink bars, as I get my drinks just fine over at Subway, so this is very strange. My darling said this probably encourages people to leave once they’re done with the food. <- Which makes more sense. ‘Safe distancing’ is definitely practised at Saizeriya as the table beside you will always be left unoccupied. So they probably don’t want diners to stay around just to chit-chat.
Since there’s no free flow ‘drink bar’, we made do with plain water from our water bottles instead. XD So healthy! And we noticed that two students seated nearby were drinking bubble tea. And I guess this is why folks love Saizeriya so much. There’s a relaxed vibe here. You’re welcome to help yourself to the drinks and they don’t charge GST nor service charge. And now… staff don’t even bat an eyelid when you drink bubble tea in the restaurant.
As for the food, in the very first picture you see above, we had Cheese Focaccia ($2.40) though I still prefer the garlic version. Let’s have garlic focaccia next time, darling!
And here’s my Spaghetti Vongole in tomato soup ($5.90). I do regret ordering this. It’s watered down and the ‘soup’ tastes like tabasco sauce in lots of water. Spaghetti’s done al dente, and some of the clams had some sand / grit. So… not entirely delightful.
The pizza, though, was amazeballs! This Rucola Pizza ($7.90) has a paper-thin crust, cheese and chicken cubes on it. And lots of rocket leaves! A veritable mix of flavors that leaves you craving for more.
The 4 Cheese Ravioli ($5.90), as the name suggests, was just an overload of cheese. We truly had too much cheese during this meal! 😀 We’ll make better choices next time. But this dish is good for dipping the focaccia into. So we just might order this again.
And now I’m craving for more of that pizza. When the Drink Bar is finally back in action, we’ll certainly have to visit again.
Saizeriya without the free flow Drink Bar is just not the same, eh? 😛
