There is never lack of choice at The Capitol Piazza. Along with Dazzling Cafe, Angelina, 1933, Kaiserhaus, folks from the Supply & Demand has set up a restaurant under the brand name, Equilibrium at Capitol Galleria. These names reminded me of the subject, Economics, somehow.
When I entered the restaurant, I like the dexterously design. Lots of greens paired with brown wooden and bronze copper material together with the cushy side pillow and photos, these do make the place cosy.
A pity that the tables are set too closely together, making it cram and you could easily hear the conversation of the next table.
Cicchetti
Grilled Squid with Citrus Air ($15) was with pungent fennel and lightly chilli mint topped with citrus air.
Le Bombette ($9.50) , Grilled Skewers, a minimum of 2 skewers were to be ordered. Grated Parmesan was wrapped by Pork Belly with Oregano and chilli flakes and was grilled to golden brown. Before served, shredded onions were layere on top and by the side was a Spicy Garlic Lemon Dip.
Pasta
3 type of sauce based available; cream, olive oil and tomato with 2 choice of pasta, Farfelle (butterfly shaped pasta) and Bucanti (Spaghetti-like).
We chose Bucanti for our Pork and Mushroom Aglio Oilo ($19). It was amazingly delectable. Unlike most Aglio Oilo, this is a piquant flavour dish.
Dolce (Dessert)
We ended with a sweet note, Tiramisu Inverso ($18). A Tiramisu cake with a scoop of coffee kahlua shaved ice.
In summary, we enjoyed.
Verdict
Food served at Equilibrium are much stronger in taste comparatively. It is definitely for the strong palate. That could be a differentiating factor, I think.
