Jamie Oliver’s restaurant in Singapore has refreshed its menu

Since its opening earlier in the year, Jamie’s Italian – brainchild of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver – has had mixed reviews.
Its menu has now been refreshed with a few new dishes.

Brand New Dishes

The new appetisers include Crispy Tomato and Mozzarella Arancini ($10.90) and Crab and Avocado Bruschetta ($14.50). The arancini is a great starter with its chewy cheese centre and tangy rice encased in a deep-fried shell.

The bruschetta wasn’t bad, with sourdough topped with Devonshire crab, avocado, and Yeo Valley yoghurt with apples, chilli, mint and lemon.

For the mains, we absolutely loved the Grilled Pork Chop ($38.50), marinated and cooked under a brick, with parsley bagna cauda [hot dip], apples, kohlrabi [a cabbage], mint and lemon. It comes with a side of pork crackling.

Sea to Land

Try the Baked Sustainable Halibut ($29.90) with spring vegetable stew, pancetta [a type of Italian bacon made from pork belly], Roman fried artichokes, crostini [similar to bruschetta] and lemony yoghurt dressing.

The Mortadella and Ricotta Panzerotti ($16 – $24.50) is filled with mortadella [Italian sausage] and chicken and coated in a blue cheese sauce. It is then topped with green apples, toasted spiced nuts, lemon and a parsley salad. Not a dish for the faint-hearted, if you dislike strong cheese.

End with the Raspberry Frangipane ($9.50) topped with crème fraiche ice cream for a tart finish.
