| Concetto by Saveur |
Saveur - a French restaurant set up by Mr. Dylan Ong, Mr. Joshua Khoo
and another business partner with the aim to offer quality yet
affordable French cuisine to the masses. After the successful outlet
of Savour in Purvis Street and Far East Plaza, these two young
entrepreneurs just can't keep still and decided to set up a Italian
sibbling for Saveur, thus Concetto was born.
Little Devil ('LD') and I have tried Saveur, for the price we
actually find it quite good. So when the opportunity arises, we
decided to tried Concetto. Unlike Saveur that always packed with
crowd, we manage to get a seat in Concetto on a Saturday afternoon
without any problem.

| Buffalo Mozzarella |
We started our lunch with Buffalo Mozzarella ($8.90). The Mozzarella,
fresh tomatoes, parmesan cheese are served on top of toasted rye
bread. Drizzle with good balsamic vinegar, it was a good appetizer,
light and refreshing. We wished that there were more of the
mozzarella.
Grilled Octopus Caesar Salad ($11.90). This salad is colourful and
beautifully presented. Fresh salad, crispy bacon, shaved parmesan
cheese binds well with the anchovies base dressing. The octopus are
tender, although slightly limited. However the almost powdered eggs
really captured our attention and palate. Yum Yum.

For mains, we have Crab Risotto ($13.90) and Wagyu Tender ($26.90).
The risotto is al-dente and creamy. You can feel the robust broth
absorbs into the arborio rice. To add to the texture, they also use
crispy rice, capsicums, cucumbers and brussel sprouts. The crab meat
tartare tasted fresh, but it seems that the flavour of the crab in
the risotto seems to be missing.

Using the Wagyu shoulder, the meat is quite lean similar to filet
mingon. Low in fat but tender and juicy. Cooked to medium rare and
accompany with foie gras with shallots and portobello mushrooms. The
beef jus that accompany the dish was just perfect. Delicious.

Service is good and efficient. The décor of the restaurant is very
minimal, however it is bright, spacious and cosy. Rather than charge
you for decoration, they decided to pass the savings to the customers
by keeping the price low.

Overall, we really enjoy our meal here. Concetto interpertation of
Italian food is more towards simple, modern, nice presentation and
pack of punch. Kudos to them for bringing the food people. Cheers!!
