Here's what we ordered:

Pineapple Juice

Cranberry Juice

Concetto by Saveur @ The Cathay

Supposedly planned heading to 18chef having dinner on Friday but at the end we change our mind after pass by this restaurant call Concetto by Saveur.

Concetto by Saveur, an Italian dining concept that replaces the former premises of Billy Bombers. It's located next to Starbucks at The Cathay. The atmosphere here is comfortable, simple interior design and laid back feel.

The place is simply decorated with cement floor, cement seat by the wall and plain white chair.

For starter, we ordered Mushroom Soup (S$5.90).

For main course, my hubby ordered Pollo Ollo (S$16.90) a pan-seared boneless chicken; stuffed with mushroom duxelle; served with fork mashed potato, shimeiji & cognac cream sauce. The chicken was tender and juicy.

As for me, I got the Salmon (S$18.90) served with pearl cous cous, oyster and pickled shallots.

Overall the food is good, cheap and affordable. Total we spent S$55 (inclusive 10% service charge & 7% GST). Even though the portions look small but we felt stuffed and it's value for the price you pay.
