Last Sunday, we tried Roma’s Deli located on the first floor of Shaw Towers. Actually just by crossing the overhead bridge to the Bugis area, you get access to a wide range of food choices which are not very crowded as well! To get there, you need to walk from Suntec Convention Centre towards the shopping mall, reach Giordano and take the escalator up to the 2nd floor. Then you will walk pass a POSB ATM and a gift shop called TNS. Turn left and viola, you are at the overhead bridge that will bring you to Bugis! :)
Roma’s Deli is a vegetarian café specializing in baked rice and pasta dishes. They are fully vegetarian in that they do not use any meat, eggs, garlic or onion. So if you see dishes like “Chicken Mushroom Baked Rice” and “Bacon Bolognese Spaghetti”, do note that the meat is probably made of starch and not real meat! Their set lunch menu is served between 12-3pm and you can choose either a soup or drink with your main course. At around $7.50 - $7.90 with no GST or service charge, it’s quite reasonable.
Taste-wise, I would say it is quite average. For my “Chicken Mushroom Baked Rice”, I especially liked the mushrooms and broccoli used in the dish. The rice was not the usual long-grain rice and tasted a little like risotto but not as wet. The rest of my members tried various dishes (which I unfortunately did not capture in time!) but the comments overall were the dishes tasted not too bad. Even the self-declared carnivore Robert enjoyed his faux Baked Curry Rendang Rice!
My rating:
Affordability – 4 for its reasonable prices
Ambience – 4 a nice cosy place, looking nowhere like a vegetarian eatery, more like an Italian café! But seats are limited and probably just enough for 1-2 cellgroups!
Appetizing – 3 generally OK
3.7 upon 5 – worth a visit!
Our Japanese fren Yoshi’s last week in Singapore! He was very moved by Alison’s rendition of the Japanese hymn! Anyone has a recording to share? I can’t find it on Youtube! Take care Yoshi and we hope to see you back in Singapore soon!
