Mad For Garlic ~ joan's permanent diaries

One random Friday we decided to make a trip down to Suntec City after work to try this restaurant that XiaoJun raved about so many times. If someone can rave about one restaurant for more than 5 times then there's no reason you don't go try it out right.

Mad For Garlic, a unique restaurant that offered 40 kinds of Italian dishes with a Korean twist. The restaurant originated from Korea and it is a hit in Singapore. We were there on a Friday night and it was packed. On weekends if we do not make a reservation then we will have to sit outdoor which is not very comfortable. Some of the waiter/tress are Korean and there're also a lot of Korean customers too.

Their signature dishes: Dracula Killer, Garlic Snowing Pizza, Garlicpeno Pasta, Mushroom Risotto and Garlic Steak, which we did not manage to order all cause there's only 5 of us.

#1 The interior is as expected, full of GARLIC and wines and wine glasses. We thought it's almost like a dracula house err and the hanging wine racks right on top of our table. No actually right on top of our head.

#3 Anchovy garlic cream fondue. Which is the best we had for the night. No I mean the rest are good too but I love love love this! The bread is soft yet crunchy and when dipped into the garlic cream fondue...heavenly! But I'm thinking the next time I go I'll request them to replace all the extras (tomato and greens) with bread. Absolutely mouthwatering.

#4 Garlic bread tower. If you think this is a normal garlic bread then you're so wrong. The bread came standing with lots of garlic bits on top then the waitress will press them all down into the middle and lie it flat and cut it into pieces. Not the usual garlic bread but is really BREAD WITH GARLIC BITS you know what I mean?

#5 Garlic Snowing Pizza. Sweet garlic pizza topped with shrimps and pineapple dice. The waiter did 1 round of cheese snowing on top, but we requested for 1 more round so it's so FULL of cheese then we can barely see the fried garlic bits and shrimp on top!

#6 Mushroom risotto. Risotto cooked with spinach and mushroom topped with grilled chicken leg. Obviously I didn't try this one because it's full of mushroom and I hate risotto coz I'm super Cina like that. I hate WET rice! But I can tell they don't really like this dish coz they say it's too spicy for their liking.

#7 3 of us ordered Garlicholic Rice. Special fried rice with garlic pickles, shrimp and asparagus. We're a bit too greedy because we should have just ordered two. The entree is huge so none of us could finish it. I...don't really like this because there's just TOO MUCH garlic! There's like 40% garlic cloves in it, not the small chopped ones that we use for chinese cooking but the big cloves and many many of them! Err I'm okay with garlic but this is wayyyyyyyyyyy over.

Bill comes up to $109 for 2 starters (garlic bread tower and garlic cream fondue), 5 entrée and 5 warm water, which translates to just $22 per person for all that food!

If you're not a garlic lover, there's also a couple of other dishes you can try but very limited though. Otherwise, try this place out! I'm sure you'd love the bread garlic cream fondue! At least I do =) Which reminds me, if Joe is okay with garlic I should totally buy him a dinner here since he paid for mine like 2374623465234873459 times wtf.

Downside? I burp and fart garlic the whole night and even had a garlic pee wtf.
