Charming Waterfall Ristorante Italiano at Shangri-La
Singapore has appointed Chef Simone Loisi, formerly from iO Italian Osteria, as
its new Chef de Cuisine.
To celebrate his debut, Chef Simone will be presenting a series of new dishes at the restaurant available from 18 April 2022. Look forward to Chef Simone’s repertoire of authentic Southern Italian specialties, showcase of dishes that spans his hometown specialties, signature handmade pastas and main courses.
Caprese Di Mare ($28.00++) Refreshing and citrusy dressing
matched with slices of house-cured salmon with Juniper berries and orange zest
served with flower capers, Napoli buffalo mozzarella and crisp fennel.
Porchetta Alla Birra ($24.00++) Chef Simone rendition of
this sumptuous beer-marinated pork belly. It’s crispy and juicy, beautifully
complemented with a tangy homemade sauerkraut and honey mustard.
Pizza Mortadella e Stracciatella ($29.00++), Southern
Italian flatbread draped with dollops of luscious Stracciatella cheese,
sundried tomatoes and pistachio.
Gnocchi Mare e Monti ($32.00++) fluffy handmade potato gnocchi is
tossed in a ‘umami’ prawn bisque sauce consisting sweet prawns sautéed with
porcini mushrooms, juicy cherry tomatoes, and Parmigiano cheese.
Orecchiette Broccoli E Salsicca ($28.00++) A dish that hails
from Chef Simone’s hometown of Puglia, this unassuming and comforting pasta
features a trinity of broccoli, Italian pork sausage meat and handmade
Orecchiette pasta – a Southern Italian pasta shaped like little ‘ears’ that are
perfect for holding the light but creamy sauce. A hint of chili, shaved
Pecorino and a toasted fennel seed and breadcrumbs topping complete this
creation.
Perfect for sharing among three to four diners and available in a choice of either housemade tomato sauce or Aglio E Olio, Linguine Al Crostacei In Crostia Di Pane ($98.00++) is brimming with a medley of pristine crustaceans the likes of one whole lobster, prawns, scallops, mussels and clams – covered with a thin layer of bread dough, the pasta is baked in the oven briefly to render a crusty top which is great for ‘scarpetta’, or soaking and gathering the leftover pasta sauce from the plate.
Polpo alla Plancia, Whole Octopus Leg which is first steamed
till tender then grilled over high heat to achieve a caramelised char. Served
with lemon wedges, potato cream and a mixed salad.
