| 1 Tyrwhitt Bistro & Bar |
A new
gastropub has joined the line up of the hippest area near Jalan
Besar. During the day, 1 Tyrwhitt Bistro & Bar ('1T') provide a
good lunch option as the menu are reasonably priced. In the evening,
it provide a good place to chill out and hang out with friends.

The décor
of this place followed the modern chic industrial type. Although the
lighting was pretty dim in the evening, it can easily turn into kids
friendly private function location during the day. As a bistro and
bar, the food line up consist of pizzas, pastas, burgers, and other
typical gastropub food.

One of
the signature dishes here are the 12” pizzas, which are handcrafted
and baked to a perfect crisp. The most popular one here is Black Truffle Egg Pizza ($23.80). The toppings consist of wild mixed
mushroom, mozarella & parmesan cheese. Topped with egg and
drizzled with aromatic truffle oil. Though I was late to the tasting,
luckily the group left me with a slice of this pizza. While the pizza
is no longer hot, the aroma of truffle still linger that goes with
the thin and crisp crust. Yum Yum.

We also
tried 2 other type of pizza: Meat Lovers Pizza ($19.80) and Cheese
Lovers Pizza ($19.80). Both pizzas have thin and crisp crust. For me,
meat lovers mean that whole surface of the pizza must be covered with
meat which was not the case here. Although it is tasty, I did not get
a meatgasm when I bit into this pizza. Meanwhile, the Cheese Lovers
Pizza is definitely a must try for cheese lovers. While most pizzaria
will stop at 4 types of cheeses, 1T uses 5 types of Italian cheeses:
mozzarella, scamorza, gorgonzola blue cheese, taleggio and feta
cheese. So watch out for the pungent aroma from the blue cheese.

Aglio e
Olio pasta ($16.80). This traditional garlic flavoured pasta cooked
with tiger prawns and mushrooms. The pasta is al dente, while the
mushroom and prawns provide a simple and clean flavour to the dish.
Watch out for the chilli padi lurking in the dish, ready to whack
your tastebuds. Those chilli lovers will definitely embrace this
dish.

Seafood
Marinara Pasta ($17.80). A combination of seafood simmered in a
fragrant tomato sauce and served over pasta. While the seafood taste
fresh like the ocean, it seems the seafood in tomato sauce with the
pasta do not gel together. Meanwhile their Carbonara Bacon Pasta
($16.80) is rich, creamy. The combination of bacon and cheese is just
so comforting.

As a
gastropub, a delicious bar food is a must have. Crispy Mid Wings
($10) at 1T will give you the finger-licking experience and goes down
well with your beer. It actually remind me of the McWings. The skin
is crispy and the meat is juicy. A good companion with a glass of
beer.

The
heartiest items on the menu are their Grilled Salmon ($20.80),
Chicken Chop ($16.80) and Pork Chop ($16.80). Portions for the salmon
and chicken chop are very generous and perfectly executed. The
grilled salmon basked in lemon butter sauce, which has the tanginess
to balance the fatty salmon. Meanwhile the chicken chop accompanied
with savoury brown sauce. The chicken skin was crispy, while the meat
remain succulent.

The most
memorable food for the night is the Pork Chop. Perfectly cooked, with
a hint of pinkness in the middle part of the meat. In a bite, you can
feel the pork just melts in your mouth. The flavour full brown gravy
provide a perfect companion to the dish.

For
desserts, 1T kept it simple, down to three items only. We tried two
out of three of their homemade desserts, Tiramisu ($8.80) and Panna
Cota ($8.80). The tiramisu is soft, moist and packs of coffee liquor.
While the panna cotta is light, smooth and well balance with the
strawberry coulis.

Overall,
for a New Kid on the Block, the food in 1T are good. They keep their
menu manageable, reasonably priced and focus on serving the best
items only. My pick from all the items are the Pork Chop, Black
Truffle Egg Pizza and Tiramisu. There are some dishes that need a
little fine-tuning, but definitely a place to go for lunch and chill
out. So if you are around Jalan Besar, give this place a try.
Cheers!!
