Actually I had requested that the chef replace the squid some other form of seafood, but I was told by the waitress that they do not entertain special requests on Fri and weekend nights because the kitchen is too busy. I think that&#8217;s a lousy excuse. If McDonald&#8217;s can do it, why can&#8217;t they? But anyway, it arrives in about five minutes. The fast service is good for hungry vultures like I was that night. But like I said, not impressed by the food. It&#8217;s food that I&#8217;d ate only for sustenance and not pleasure. Sauce was too watery and the rice didn&#8217;t seem like proper risotto rice.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3660\/3375898202_02db4124ea.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Escargot\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\nWhen my two friends arrived, we ordered Escargot for a starter. Hungry me had started on my risotto before they arrived! To be fair to me, they were late! Anyway, the escargots baked in garlic were actually pretty tasty. They were small in size but pretty tasty nonetheless&#8230;I attribute it to the magic of garlic.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3604\/3375899992_ecf4bdb86d.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Pita\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\nWe also ordered a piece of pita bread to soak up the garlic sauce. This was served warm and it was nice and soft. Seems like the side dishes were tasting better than the mains.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3592\/3375087517_48918e320a.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Hamburger\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\nOne of my friends went for the Hamburger set. As you can see, the beef pattie is pretty sinful, what with the cheese and gravy on top. I tried a little of the beef pattie and the first thought that came to mind was just &#8216;it&#8217;s edible&#8217;. The other friend had ordered a pasta in cream sauce and I remember she just found it &#8216;OK&#8217;.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3546\/3375881226_953b361717.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Saizeriya interior\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\nThe place gets busy early in the evening but turnover is pretty fast because it&#8217;s not a place where people sit and linger. So you wouldn&#8217;t have to wait very long for a table even if there&#8217;s a queue. Service is efficient and the food comes fast. It&#8217;s not a place I would go to again though. The Italian fare here doesn&#8217;t quite make the cut for me and I&#8217;d much rather fork out more money to eat better Italian food.<br \/>\nSaizeriya<br \/>\nLiang Court #02-22<br \/>\nTel: (65) 6337 8948<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Went to Saizeriya, the Japanese chain of Italian bistro, at Liang Court about a month ago and wasn&#8217;t impressed by the food.
