A Skinny pizza experience

It’s been awhile since I thought about dieting. I mean how can I think of that when my hobby is eating? I’m not going to be shy and lie by saying I watch what I eat. I DO NOT. I like to indulge on food, especially when I’m eating my favorite think crust pizza. I love eating pizza, but I have a soft spot for thin crusts.

Italian food in Singapore is abundant. I have no problems hopping from restaurant to the other. I think I have my favorites in some of Singapore’s famous Italian restaurants. I spend money when I know I’m getting my money’s worth, but I’d rather starve instead of eating some half hazard –made pizza.

My friends usually eat at the Skinny Pizza in Orchard’s road. I think I ate there a couple of times already too, but service was bad for the few times that I was there. Last week, we decided to go there for some brunch. It’s actually lunch time but we all didn’t have breakfast yet, so for us, it was still brunch.

We all ordered the truffle fries for appetizers. No salad, we just like our truffles in the morning…er I mean lunch. The waiter asked us if we wanted the set menu. Why would we want that? We’re starving. But we did order the mushroom soup. I like their mushroom soup because it has real mushrooms in it.

Sharing is caring is the theme of this place. But how can you share your pizza when the crust is so thin. It’s like a thicker version of a popiah wrapper. I like how it doesn’t turn soggy. We ordered the English breakfast pizza with poach eggs. I sliced the egg in half that turned the yolk into a sauce instantly. It was so rich, it was borderline sinful.

My friend who’s pretending to be a vegetarian ordered the squid ink pizza crust. It looked like purple yam instead of jet black. But the toppings were great. The squid rings are tender to the bite. She didn’t like freshly sliced onions so we had them removed.

I’m glad that I came back. I forgot how good their pizzas are. I just realized that it was dangerous eating there because their pizzas are so thin that you wouldn’t notice you’re actually finishing the whole pizza. And while we’re eating I saw the next table eating a pizza with mozzarella, arugula, and fresh tomatoes on it. I wanted to go to their table and ask for a slice.

I would definitely come back to this place, even though service still needs to improve.
