Dinner @ Market Hall, Pavilion Mall

What a nice place we found on Level 6 of the Pavilion Mall, which is the main shopping mall next to our hotel.

The Market Hall presence is near to the TGI Friday and Din Tai Fung, to name a couple.  Market Hall apparently only opened earlier this year, and it looks quite interesting inside.  it’s kinda like a Delicatessen-turn-Restaurant, with the decor showing the selection of wines, spices, sauaces and fresh produce – all on display (I think you can simply come in a buy the products off the shelf!).  The kitchen is an open-plan design – situated down the whole length of the restaurant – it’s almost as if the kichen is part of the restaurant.  It seems to work, and even though there was only a couple of tables at the time (we had visited before the Ramadan Fasting had been completed), the atmosphere was actually quite nice!

We started with a Scallops dish with a sprinkle of Bacon.  There were only 3 Scallops, but the presentation was really nice.  I think the spoon on the side had Olive Pate, but not sure!  I was keen to try out the Pizza, this place had a real brick oven, and the Calzone sounded delicious.  The way they served the Calzone Pizza was intriguing, it was served on a wooden chopping board, which actually made it like a nice way of presenting it.  Small thing, but it kinda worked.

The restaurant was also doing a wine tasting event, so offered us a taster of two of the wine.  Can’t remember which grapes or type of wine, but it was a nice way to cleanse the pallet 🙂   Even the table had a bit of life to it – it had ‘worn’ holes.  Not sure about this though, but I guess it’s part of the overall atmosphere of this place.
