The special designed signage is nice and I like the reflection from the water which look like the real burning flame!

The burning flame underneath the water...

It has a cozy environment, comfort, relax and rather unique because of converted from the residential house, and surrounded with a small garden.
There are indoor and outdoor area, if the weather is not too warm, I prefer to dine at the outdoor with the company of nature...

The restaurant also serve alcohol with variety of draught beers...

We visited with a group of 8 adults and 4 children. The dishes we had as below...

Before the main course serve, we had their popular appetizer - Crab meat bruschetta.
Chopped fresh tomatoes with garlic, basil & olive oil mixed with crab meats, accompanied with toasted garlic breads. This traditional Italian dish served as a great appetizer before our dinner.

As for the children, they had their mushroom soup and garlic bread...

Our main course served on table about 15 minutes, it was pretty fast...

Seafood Marinara Futtuccini

Rich, creamy and served with big prawns and oysters. The rich cheesy taste good, but it might not suitable for those who unlike the creamy setting.

We had 2 Cujun Rub Salmon Fillet with different side dish...

Cajun Rub Salmon Fillet with mashed potatoes

Cajun Rub Salmon Fillet with garlic rice

Garlic rice (side dish)

The both fillets were well marinated, fresh and good. The garlic rice can be better if slightly moist.

2 different type of chicken chop below, both served in 300g...
*  Spicy Pastrami Chicken leg chop - paprika marinated 
*  Wal-lic chicken leg chop - roasted walnuts and garlics

Spicy Pastrami Chicken leg chop served with the side dish - mashed potatoes

The chicken chop was yummy with a slight of spicy taste, it was juicy and the portion (300g) was big enough for a big eater.

Wal-lic chicken leg chop

Onion rings (side dish)

As for the above Wal-lic chicken chop, prefer more moist for a better bite (my personal preference), but the children like it very much! Especially the onion rings.

Follow by the Mum marinated pork belly.
The pork belly was fat, oily with the Chinese style marinated (it's stated on the menu), Oh! I like the oily part very much! Delicious!

Mum marinated pork belly served with onion rings - side dish

Not everyone will like this dish above because of the oily fat from the pork, especially those on diet...but, we all love it just because of the fragrance fat which melted in our mouth!

The last dish was on the Charcoal grill session - Cumin grilled large squid.

Cumin grilled large squid

This charcoal grilled squid is one of the popular dish from the restaurant. The taste of the charcoal grilled which spread into your mouth while on the first bite of the squid was great! I tried the first piece without the lemon and with the lemon on the following...like both either!
It was a tasty grilled squid we will definitely come back for more!

Each of the main course will served together with a small bowl of fruits salad, I like this concept...where you can enjoy it before and after the meal...

The fruit salad which serve with every main course

Beside that, I like the crispy type tibits which served with one of the dish. Too bad forgot to ask the name of it...

The crispy tibits which shaped like strings

After we finished our meal, there was a special sauce pasta (pipette rigatura) served on our table, the dish hasn't listed in the menu yet, presented on the house by the owner of the restaurant. The taste was marvelous!
We also fortunate to had the owner personal collection of the grilled pig skin as a tibits...that was Good!
