Skinny Pizza (Plaza Singapura)

I've always liked Skinny Pizza for their super thin pizza crusts, their fragrant truffle fries, and the wild rocket on basically everything on the menu. Previous visits were to the Dempsey branch, called Barracks, and the Great World City branch. When we were at PS hunting for a dinner location at the new wing, we decided Skinny will do because it wasn't too crowded, and some of the group hadn't tried it before. Moreover I had a 10% discount voucher from a previous visit.

I immediately decided I wanted the truffle fries and the Wild Truffle Mushroom pizza. I actually haven't tried the truffle pizza before, but remember smelling next table's when we were dining at Great World City. I remembered it smelling fantastic, so had no qualms about ordering it this time round. On top of that, we ordered a meter long chicken sausage, a Meatball Spaghetti Napolitana, a Squid Ink pizza, and a Smoked Turkey Swiss pizza.

I missed the photo opportunity for the other two pizzas. The truffle fries were as good as I remember. The Wild Truffle Mushroom pizza disappointed. It didn't have the aroma I whiffed at Great World. I'm not sure is it a branch to branch variation, or that it really isn't as attractive when it's right in front of you. You know what they say about the grass being greener on the other side. It tasted like regular mushroom pizza with the tiniest hint of truffle. The Squid Ink, however, was really yummy. The ink was actually baked into the crust, so the crust had that additional inkiness. Together with the additional smear of ink sauce, the squid rings and the ubiquitous wild rocket, it was a really good slice of pizza. The Smoked Turkey Swiss pizza was pretty good too. Salty turkey slices that went with so well with everything else on the pizza.

The sausage was quite average. Not the kind that makes your fork keep going back for seconds. And it seemed that I was the only sausage lover in the group. So I dutifully finished up the sausage at the end when no one else wanted it. The pasta was delicious. We all liked the tomato based sauce. It was fragrant, with the right balance of sweet and salty. The meatballs were ok. Hubby joined us subsequently, and I ordered him a Ratatouille Pizza. He didn't complain, so I guess it was good enough for him.

We did have a little trouble getting the waiters' attentions for refill of water, new orders and additional table setting and what not, but overall the service wasn't too bad. The pizza came one at the time, so we had the time to distribute all the slices before the next one arrived, leaving our table less cramped. It was a nice place to just eat and catch up. Maybe, just maybe, I should return to the Great World branch to try their truffle mushroom pizza.
