Pepenero is an italian restaurant in the CBD area. The service is quite impeccable and its very very quiet on the weekday afternoon.
We are served bread as a starter and its pretty standard. Nothing too spectacular here.
Granchio (S$28) -Crab cake meat served with avacado and garlic aioli
The crab cake is packed full of crab meat (not stingy at all with the filling) but on its own its a little too salty. But eated with the salad simultaneoulsy it works well and the saltiness is balanced out by the fresh salad.
Rated: 6.5/10
Pappardelle (S$26) - pappardelle pasta served with pork sausage ragout and porcini mushrooms
The pork is thoroughly mixed with truffle sauce and pasta sheets. I am not a fan of this type of pasta but well its not too bad and the sauce is less creamy then what i would expect from a ragout.
Rated: 6/10
Linguine All'Astice (S$32) - Linguine with Boston lobster in fresh tomato sauce and Marjoram
The lobster is very very well cooked. Its tender and moist and its definitely the star of the dish. The tomato base is a little creamy and has a very sourish taste to it. If there is a main that serves just the lobster is will order it straight off the menu. Its one of the best renditions i've ever tasted in a lobster.
Rated: 7/10
Semifreddo (S$14) - frozen zabglione souffle served with amaretto sauce
I was surprised when the souffle is served cold. Though creamy and soft, it holds its shape very well. I like the toppings of sweet caramel and crumbsRated: 6.5/10
I discovered a new found love - the american express platinum card. They have a list of dining promotions which they call palate dining privileges. 2nd person dines at 50% off which works perfectly for us. With the 50% discount in place, this meal is definitely worth very bite. :D
